Feeling frazzled trying to juggle work, family life, and the perpetual guilt of not giving enough to either? In this episode, Anna Lundberg breaks down the practical steps to designing a business that truly fits around your life - think working term time, taking summers off, and still earning what you deserve! Whether you're a parent dreaming of school-hour working or simply someone craving more freedom and intentionality, this episode will show you how to make the maths (and mindset) work for you.
Key takeaways:
-
Design for Your Lifestyle, Not by Accident: Create your business with intention rather than reacting to opportunities as they arise. Decide your non-negotiables, from school hours to summer holidays, and build your business around them.
-
Do the Maths: Anna walks through the numbers—calculating your annual working hours and required hourly rates—so you know exactly what it'll take to reach your income goals within your chosen schedule.
-
Reimagine Offers and Pricing: Shift away from selling your time by the hour. Build offers based on value or outcomes, consider group programmes, and design packages that fit both your clients' needs and your own work-life boundaries.
-
Seasonal and Systematic Planning: Tap into the power of mapping your business by academic terms or seasons and front-load your workload to take full advantage of quieter months. Systematise processes to save time and energy.
-
Build for the Life You Want: Get concrete about your available hours, align your pricing and offerings, and work only with clients who respect your working preferences.

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.
