If you’ve ever wished you could hit pause on the noise of work, family, and endless to-do lists, a silent retreat might be just what you need. I’m sharing my experience attending a 3-day silent retreat and how stepping away from the constant chatter helped me find peace, perspective, and a renewed sense of purpose.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ What to consider when choosing a retreat that aligns with your goals and values
✅ Why silence can be one of the most powerful forms of self-care
✅ The unexpected lessons that come when you finally stop talking and start listening (to yourself and to God).
Whether you’re burned out from your corporate career or simply craving a reset, this conversation will inspire you to give yourself permission to unplug, surrender control, and make space for the clarity you’ve been searching for.
Sometimes the answers you’ve been chasing can only be heard in silence!

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.
