Text Us, We Love Hearing From You:)

Hicunni (aka Coach Keenie) opens up about what really happens when homeschooling ends, not the cute “empty nest” version, but the quiet identity free-fall no one talks about. After 15 years of building life around lesson plans, lunches, and learning rhythms… what happens when the kids graduate, the schedule disappears, and you’re left asking:

“Who am I now, and what do I even want anymore?”

Inside this episode, you’ll hear:

  • The surprising moment at a fall festival that shifted Hicunni’s whole direction
  • Why retired homeschool moms don’t just “get their life back”, they have to build a new one
  • The 3 mindset shifts that make midlife feel like a comeback, not a crisis
  • A journaling question to help you reconnect with who you are now (not who you used to be)

This one is especially for the women who didn’t leave a job; they left a whole identity. You’re not broken. You’re in transition. And you don’t have to “start over”… just start after.

Ruthie's Table 4

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.
