What if the real secret to lasting food freedom isn’t found in the next big thing—but in the boring, everyday basics you’ve been overlooking? 🤯
So many Christian women want to live with peace around food and confidence in their bodies, but they keep chasing shiny new solutions, hoping the next “plan” will finally stick. But the truth is, those quick fixes are exhausting, and the freedom you’re praying for is usually found in the slow, steady, and sometimes boring daily habits that help you stay grounded in both faith and food.
In today’s episode, Brittany is joined by her friends and fellow faith-based coaches, Lacy Lain and Shaela Daugherty, to talk all about what they lovingly call “The Boring Basics.” They’re pulling back the curtain on what consistency really looks like—especially when motivation dips, life gets messy, or your brain screams for instant results.
This conversation is part pep talk, part permission slip, and fully packed with real-life encouragement for the woman who’s tired of starting over.
A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include…
🍳 A surprisingly refreshing take on why “boring” might be your best friend in food freedom
☕ A candid conversation about motivation, mindset, and motherhood
🙏 How to stay grounded in your faith when progress feels slow
🌿 The overlooked habits that actually move the needle over time
💬 What it really looks like to live out food freedom in real life (not just on Instagram)

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.
