Join Ellie for this week’s episode of A Day In Her Life with Nicole Conroy, VP of Technology at a global company and mom of two living in New York City. Nicole shares what her full, chaotic, and deeply fulfilling days look like as she balances an executive leadership role, a bi-state family summer routine, and motherhood.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Leading in Tech: Nicole’s path from majoring in Italian to becoming a VP at a global company—and the power of raising your hand.
- Office Life & Commuting Rhythms: How she structures her 2-3 days in-office and spends the commute to school and work.
- Work Blocks & Flexibility: How her approach to scheduling work blocks has evolved as her kids have grown and her career has scaled.
- Bi-State Living: The contrast between school-year life in NYC and summer life in Rhode Island—and how they maximize family time while they can.
- Household Operations: How Nicole and her husband divide responsibilities (including the ones they still negotiate with rock-paper-scissors).
- Simple Joys: Why her nightly ice cream ritual is non-negotiable.
- Kids' Activities: Their intentional approach to scheduling and extracurriculars in a busy household.
If you’re navigating career growth, parenting in two places, or just looking for a real, relatable take on what modern working motherhood can look like—this one’s 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.
