On this week’s episode, we sit down with Christine Platt. An award-winning author, lifestyle strategist, storyteller, and minimalist. You could just say she is a modern-day renaissance woman! If the idea of minimalism brings up visions of almost empty rooms, a neutral palette, and throwing away 95% of the things you own, then Christine is here to make you revisit that vision! She believes in a radical re-envisioning of what minimalism can be and do for our lives.
Amber and Christine talk through the inner work of resetting our value priorities and the intersections of mental health, well-being, and sustainability. Intersections that inform both our relationship to consumption and how we design the spaces we inhabit. Christine’s focus is on giving you real strategies to live full intentional authentic lives that go beyond the aesthetics of minimalism.

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.
