(12:07) Kimberly challenges listeners to commit to just one of the four ways to manage your work-life balance
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- [1:33] Managing a business, family and self-care as an entrepreneur is challenging. Reflect on where things are for you and take steps to ensure that your well-being is in a good place
- [8:50] You have to be the one to set and hold boundaries both in your business and in your personal life, because you are the only one who can. Noone else is going to come in and play the “hero” and save you from a lack of clear boundaries. You must be your own hero
- [10:49] It’s okay to lean on your support system and community when life presents unexpected challenges. You don’t have to do it all alone

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.
