Last year this episode aired in September, but as August is the true pedal to the metal moment for fresh-start Fall, a.k.a. back-to-school fall, this is the time to hear it. Ah … those feelings: your dominant, real, authentic feelings … They are the clues to what’s going on with you, from elation to depression to confusion. And I can’t think of a better example or time of year to talk about this, using what most of us have heard of as “the empty nest” syndrome. Your children may be flying the coop out of high school, to college or a place of their own and a new job of their own, or even moving cross country for heaven’s sake. Did this situation creep up on you, take you by surprise or gobsmack you when, maybe, you just didn’t think about the reality beyond all the prep you helped with to launch them? Were you ready, are you ready? Are you a bit fearful, or flapping your wings to meet the moment, or truly flying, thrilled to start a new chapter for yourself with less day-to-day responsibilities for others? Or even sad and confused? Maybe you're stalled and just stuck. Today we’ll review how naming your feelings will clarify this new phase of your life so you can act upon a new, happy second act at midlife and beyond.
Stop waiting and reach now for whatever midlife-plus fulfillment means to you, without distractions, come work with me one-on-one! Just send an email to hello@laurieadamscoaching.com to schedule a no-pressure conversation/Q & A about individual coaching. We’ll explore the goal that has eluded you most, including weight loss if that’s the important one for you. Together, let’s edit the story of you so you’ll never want to put your own book down.

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.
