Most people blame themselves when they’re not making progress.
They think the answer is more effort, more hours, more pressure — and that if they just “worked harder,” something would finally click.
But that’s not how goal accomplishment works in real life.
In this episode, I break down why hard work by itself isn’t enough — and why so many smart, capable people stay stuck even though they’re trying. We talk about what actually moves a goal forward, how to stop wasting energy on the wrong things, and what it looks like to shift from “pushing” to executing with clarity.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing the most and still not seeing progress, this will help you understand what’s actually going on — without blaming yourself or assuming you’re the problem.
What you’ll take away:
Why more effort isn’t the solution
How unclear steps drain your energy
Why consistency feels impossible when the plan is unrealistic
What your system needs to make progress feel doable
How to stop overworking and still move your goals forward
This episode is for you if you’re trying… but tired.
Trying… but not seeing results.
Trying… but not sure what else to do.
If you’re ready for progress that doesn’t rely on burnout or pressure, I’ll walk you through what actually works.

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.
