You know that "I'll start fresh in January" energy? Yeah… I'm calling BS on that. In this episode, it's time to break up with that New Year hype and showing you how to start your comeback now, right in the middle of the messy, cookie-filled, pre-holiday chaos.
Because here's the truth: dates don't create change—reflection does.
Here's What I Talk About:
-
Why waiting for January 1st keeps us stuck in the same "start-over" cycle
-
The 3-step year-end reset I use with my clients: Review. Reset. Reimagine.
-
How to build boring but bulletproof consistency that actually lasts past February
-
The real difference between "motivation" and "momentum" (and why one's a trap)
-
My REPS method—Realistic, Excited, Planned, Sustainable—for creating habits that fit your actual life
-
Why chasing six-week miracles never works and what to do instead
Real Talk:
If your workouts feel like punishment, your meal plan feels like a spreadsheet, and your "New Year, New Me" energy always crashes by President's Day, this episode is your wake-up call. I'm keeping it real, funny, and relatable while showing you how to ditch the pressure, stop waiting for perfect, and start stacking small wins right now.
My Challenge for You:
Take a real look at what worked this year and what didn't. Celebrate your small wins (yes, they count), then pick one to three boring-but-doable habits to carry through the holidays. This is how you stop being the women who disappears by February and become the woman who's still showing up strong in May.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
