In this powerful episode of the Growth Now Movement, I sit down with Michelle Rogers, a resilient entrepreneur, real estate investor, and property management company founder who has built an inspiring life through grit, perseverance, and heart. Michelle's story is not just about building a business—it's about overcoming some of life's toughest challenges and transforming pain into purpose.
Michelle opens up about her multifaceted life—being a wife, a foster parent, and raising a large family—while simultaneously growing a thriving real estate business. She takes us through her journey from starting as a buy-and-hold investor to eventually launching her own property management company, showing what it takes to succeed in the competitive world of real estate.
But Michelle's story goes far beyond entrepreneurship. She vulnerably shares her past, including surviving domestic abuse and the turning points that helped her rebuild her life. With the support of friends, a strong community, and her own determination, Michelle turned adversity into opportunity and discovered the power of resilience.
We also dive into her upcoming book, The Resiliency Blueprint, where she outlines practical tools and strategies to help others navigate challenges, rebuild confidence, and design a life they love. Along the way, Michelle highlights the importance of self-care, personal growth, and surrounding yourself with the right people.
If you've ever faced hardship or wondered how to rise above your circumstances to create true success and fulfillment, this episode is for you.

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.
