ESFJs, the dedicated, responsible, and oh-so-warm connectors, are the backbone of families and communities, the go-to for comfort and support. They're the birthday-rememberers, the milestone-celebrators, the hardworking team players! Their dedication is a force to reckon with, and their commitment is as solid as a rock. But beneath this dedicated exterior, they too struggle with self-worth, self-esteem, and a deep-seated need to be needed.
Imposter Syndrome in ESFJs often sprouts from their relentless drive to please others, which sometimes spirals into feelings of inadequacy. Their relentless drive to please others, to ensure that everyone's needs are met before their own, can often lead them down a rocky path, riddled with feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. They might find themselves in a whirlpool of overwhelm, feeling underappreciated, and in the worst cases, exploited by those they pour their hearts into supporting. It's a tough balancing act - constantly prioritizing others can result in ESFJs inadvertently neglecting their own emotional needs. Their feelings, desires, and dreams often take a backseat as they strive to keep everyone else happy.
In today's episode, we're turning the spotlight on ESFJs' silent struggle. We'll unravel the intricacies of how ESFJs experience Imposter Syndrome due to a lack of Emotional Intelligence, their tendency for excessive caretaking, and the inherent self-neglect that comes with constantly prioritizing others. We'll dive deep into this syndrome, revealing its impact on ESFJs and sharing some precious nuggets of advice to help you overcome these challenges. Grab your headphones, get comfy, and join us on this enlightening journey. Let's roll!

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.
