Hey Doc,
What would you do if life gave you a second chance?
In this episode, I sit with Dr. Verniese Moore, a board-certified family medicine physician, a wife, a mom of two, and the CEO of the luxury handbag brand Vie Lorie, who shares her life in the most raw and beautiful way.
She takes us back to Gate B3 in LaGuardia Airport, where she fell to the floor as she learned she was cancer-free, surrounded by strangers who celebrated for her. That moment shaped everything she’s built since.
Dr. Verniese open up about:
- The shame she once carried about her diagnosis, and how sharing her story became her greatest source of connection.
- The love story that grew out of her vulnerability and how her husband’s grounded response deepened their bond
- Navigating two C-sections, and the fears that linger when you’ve lived through the unexpected.
- Why she started her luxury handbag line, Vie Lorie, not just for the love of design, but to create something rooted in empowerment and legacy.
This conversation is more than a story of survival. It’s about love, faith, motherhood, and the quiet daily choices to toward the life you actually want.
Listen in, and let this episode spark the courage to take your own next step.

She understands that a handbag is not just an accessory; it's a partner in daily triumphs and a silent confidant in moments of contemplation.

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.
