Let’s talk about that low-key fear that shapes your day more than you realize.
In this episode, I’m walking you through a simple mindset tool I used almost every day during a trip abroad last year — and how it helped me make clearer, more confident choices instead of letting fear or resistance decide for me.
Plus, it's one of the most critical questions you can ask when making a big ("scary") life choice - as long as you answer it!
“What’s the worst that could happen?”
You're going to start using this question as an honest prompt to interrupt low-to-high-level fear and take intentional action (even if the action is not doing the thing).
You’ll learn:
-
Why “little” resistance shapes big outcomes
-
How to catch fear before it closes doors on your behalf
-
A practical metaphor for expanding your options instead of unconsciously shrinking them
-
What real-life fear fluency sounds like (with client stories & examples)
This is a must-listen if you want to waste less time in your head and feel more in charge of your choices—without needing to be fearless.

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.
