In your friendships, are you the one who keeps them going? Do you initiate the contact, and put in the time and effort?

You may even be like I used to be where you find when you go for coffee, out to lunch or dinner or to do some other activity, that you are the person who pipes up and says "I'll pay for it".

If you are why are you the person who generally holds the responsibility, pays and organizes things?

Join me as I explore my process of how having coffee with friends, involved me paying for both mine and theirs. 

Why? Because I didn't want to owe anyone anything. I didn't know how to receive and my lack of self-worth and neediness were driving me.

THIS EPISODE 

You explore:

  • How what appear to be insignificant and irrelevant occurrences, can be the key to deep-seated patterns of a lack of self-worth
  • The influence of what may feel like unrelated experiences, on how you live your life now
  • How the process of sabotage and rejection deny you of what you truly deserve
  • How ceasing to pay for someone's coffee was an opportunity for huge growth for me.

 

I look forward to the adventure with you as we unravel, heal and uncover together to make a difference in who we are

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.
