Have you ever felt invisible? Like no matter how hard you try, people just don’t really see who you truly are.
They don’t see your passion, your heart, your soul.
You show up. You work hard. You give your best. And yet, it feels like your presence slips through the cracks.
That feeling, that quiet ache of not being seen, not being having your greatness witnessed, isn’t because the world is ignoring you. It’s because you a...
Have you ever felt like no matter how much progress you make… you end up back in the same place? Like some invisible hand keeps pulling you toward a version of yourself you thought you outgrew? Or like you’ve been following a plan for your life — but deep down, you know it’s not yours?
You think the noise is out there, social media, opinions, politics, the world moving too fast.
But what if the noise isn’t out there at all?
What if the noise… is you?
Let me ask you something. When you feel something — anger, sadness, peace, or joy — who’s really in control?
Most people believe emotions happen to them. That they’re trapped inside whatever they feel. But the truth is… you’re not your emotions. You’re their architect.
Imagine this, you have just been told you have 24 hours to live. No extensions. No negotiations. The clock is ticking. Suddenly, everything you thought you’d do ‘someday’ disappears. The self you were waiting to ‘change' into is gone and you only have right now.
"The future is an illusion until it arrives, and when the future arrives, you will still only be able to live it today, not tomorrow. You see, 'Change' wants you to wait for the future, 'Change' doesn't believe in now. But 'Choosing' gives you the power to live your future today."
Life is not about what you want to change or where you hope to be, life is about the decision sitting in front of you right now. And the reason this matters is because every time you avoid a choice, you’re wiring your brain to stay stuck. What Choice are you avoiding?
Here’s the truth you may not want to hear: The pain you bear often comes from the change you seek. Why? Because change always puts you in waiting. It says, “When I finally change, then I’ll be who I want to be.” But waiting keeps you stuck in the very pain you want to escape.
For generations, we’ve been told the same story: You must change your life in order to advance. Change your habits. Change your mindset. Change your circumstances.
But here’s the truth: change has always been a lie.
When you 'Choose' you are commanding a now. When you attempt to 'Change' you command a tomorrow.
We call things ‘habits’ like they’re harmless routines; brushing your teeth, scrolling your phone, always running late. But the truth is this: a habit is not just behavior. A habit is a command. A survival mechanism your identity uses to keep itself alive.
We’ve all heard it. Someone says, “This is going to change my life.”
And every time, I cringe.
Because I know what’s about to happen.
You’re not cursed. You’re not stuck. Life isn’t against you—it’s reflecting you. In this episode, I break down how your identity—your “I AM”—shapes your experiences. The patterns you keep running into aren’t punishment... they’re feedback. Once you stop trying to change your life and start choosing who you are, everything shifts. Let’s explore how to reclaim your power—no change required.
Think about this
When are you living? Yesterday, Now or tomorrow?
Which one of these do you have control over?
Which one of these holds you back?
"Now" refers to the present moment—the point in time that is happening right at this instant. It’s the only moment you can truly experience and act upon because the past is already gone, and the future hasn’t arrived. You can control now.
Why are you always angry at everything, or, conversely, why are you always positive and happy? The body, in essence, becomes the mind, the triggering chemicals produced in the body are orchestrated by your thoughts. What you think triggers specific neural and hormonal responses, leading the body to manufacture chemicals that align with and reinforce those thoughts. This means your beliefs and mental focus shape your emotional state...
Just for a moment have you tried to change and been absolutely frustrated?
Just for a moment have you ever thought that personal change was a futile attempt?
Just for a moment have you ever thought that we are not meant to change..but meant to BE?
Today, we're diving deep into a topic that has shaped societies throughout history:
Government Leadership and the control of….'Choices.'
Governments and leadership already know that the power is in not controlling the idea of 'Change' but in the power of controlling 'Choices.'
Have you ever done something you knew you shouldn’t have, then immediately asked yourself, “Why did I just do that? I know better!” You tell yourself, “I don’t act like that. I never act like that. So why now?”
We then berate and beat ourselves for doing what we know we should not be doing, yet we did it anyway, wondering why we repeat behaviors that lead us nowhere.
Why? Why do we tend to conduct a ritual that we know is detriment...
We have all told someone this or have been told ourselves, "Why are you so lazy?"
But what is actually behind the word lazy?
We are transfixed on the term only as the unwillingness to get up and move, but there is more to this.
New Year's Resolutions start on January 1, but what happens to most of them on January 17 and why?

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.
