In this candid and deeply personal conversation, Mary Walker (Owner of Simplified SEO Consulting) and Winnie Youger-Rash (VP of SEO Services) pull back the curtain on what leadership really looks like behind the scenes — the long to-do lists, the constant mental load, the quiet moments of guilt when you try to rest.
Together, they explore the messy truth about “balance” in business leadership: why it’s so hard, what it really means, and how they’re learning to protect the parts of life that matter most. From redefining success beyond the grind, to leaning on each other through the heaviest weeks, Mary and Winnie share the real strategies, boundaries, and mindset shifts that help them lead with purpose without losing themselves in the process.
If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to build and lead a thriving business while still showing up for your own life — this episode will leave you feeling seen, encouraged, and ready to rethink what success looks like for you.
🎧 Listen in to hear:
- The invisible mental and emotional labor of leadership (and why it’s rarely talked about)
- How to use boundaries as tools for better leadership and better living
- The permission to delegate — and why it’s harder than it sounds
- Small, everyday ways to recharge without waiting for a vacation
- What “having a life” really looks like for leaders at different stages

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.
