Many moms quietly carry the weight of everyone else’s needs — often at the expense of their own. In this episode of HomeWord, Dr. Jim Burns sits down with Dr. Morgan Cutlip, a psychologist, bestselling author, and sought-after relationship expert who is passionate about helping women feel supported and connected in every season of life. Together, they dive into the common guilt moms experience when prioritizing themselves and why true self-care is about more than surface-level pampering — it’s about nurturing your wellbeing at the core. Dr. Cutlip unpacks three major tension points mothers face: putting everyone’s needs before their own, dealing with unmet expectations, and letting go of perfection in parenting. You’ll hear encouraging insights on building meaningful connection with your kids, embracing “good enough” parenting, and how husbands can be true teammates at home. This conversation will remind every mom: you’re doing far better than you think — and you’re worth caring for too.

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.
