In this episode of Outdoorsy, I sit down with the incredible Emily Sedona—content creator, TikTok sensation, and advocate for making the outdoors approachable for everyone. We talk about her unique journey into the outdoors, her viral rise to TikTok fame, and how she’s redefined what it means to be outdoorsy. From her humble beginnings living out of a car to building a thriving online community, Emily’s story is as inspiring as it is relatable.
We also dive deep into topics like embracing personal style in the outdoors, the challenges of navigating sobriety in a community often centered around alcohol, and the healing power of solo hiking. Emily shares her thoughts on finding belonging, whether through solo adventures or connecting with others. If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t fit the traditional “outdoorsy” mold, this episode is for you!

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.
