Your role as a parent doesn’t end when your kids grow up—it pivots. Steve and Julia Cummings—authors of The Parent Pivot and hosts of The Parent Pivot Podcast—join Jim Burns on HomeWord to talk about the “parent pivot” that occurs when young adults leave the home and the role of a parent changes. They unpack the emotional challenges of watching kids leave home and the hard truth that clinging to control, especially through expectations, often does more harm than good. With deep insight and vulnerability, they share how to stay relationally connected with adult children, even when their choices don’t align with your hopes. They also offer wisdom on grandparenting—what works, what doesn’t, and how to step into that role in a way that supports your adult children, not overrides them.

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.
