Have you ever reached the top of your career and thought, “Is this really it?” You’re not alone. We’re joined by former HR executive turned entrepreneur, Brittany Martin, Founder of BeKindWorks. She shares the pivotal moment she realized success in corporate wasn’t enough, how she got herself laid off, and the steps she took to design a business that aligned with her values.
We dive into how overachievement can both fuel and sabotage your growth, what it really takes to prepare financially for your corporate exit, and how kindness in the workplace can transform culture and results.
If you’ve been craving more purpose, freedom, and fulfillment in your work, this episode will inspire you to stop settling and start building the career and life you actually want.
We discuss:
✅ The mindset shift that helped Brittany finally make her corporate exit and what it means to truly be content in life
✅ How to balance ambition and self-compassion as an entrepreneur
✅ How she got her support system on board with her corporate exit
✅ The financial and emotional prep that made her leap possible
✅ Why kindness is a powerful driver of culture and performance (If you’re not working in a kind environment, this is a reminder that sometimes the grass is greener elsewhere.)

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.
