Don’t be so hard on yourself all the time! And please, stop bullying yourself so much! If your critical inner voice likes to tear you down, then it’s time to be nicer to yourself so you can improve your self-worth and learn how to love yourself more. In this episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast, I unpack how to not be hard on yourself so you can rebuild your self worth and calm your mind (which also teaches you how to be more confident).

If you’re self critical, stuck in “I hate myself” spirals, or just want to be nicer to yourself and love yourself more, this episode gives you practical mental health tips that work including simple self kindness swaps you can make today, language that’s fair not cruel, and small daily steps that reduce stress and anxiety without drama. I know what it’s like to be hard on myself, but I also know that learning how to love yourself can significantly improve your mental wellbeing. 


👉 Ready to build real self-worth and improve your confidence? Then let’s talk!

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.
