In this episode of The Content Beach, I hit record and went completely live — unscripted, slightly chaotic, and totally real — to answer the question I keep circling as a creator:
Can we actually escape AI? And should we even be trying to?
This episode isn’t AI fear-mongering or bandwagon hype. It’s my personal take, as someone who builds strategy, runs client systems, and uses AI every day — while still protecting my voice, my values, and my creativity.
Whether you’re using AI and loving it, avoiding it on principle, or feeling overwhelmed by it all… this one’s for you.
Here’s what we get into:
- Why I’m not afraid of AI — but I am cautious about what it replaces
- How I actually use it in my business (and where I draw the line)
- The real reason creators feel behind — and how I deal with that
- Why automation doesn’t mean abandoning your voice
- How I protect the essence of my client work and content
If you’ve ever found yourself saving hundreds of ChatGPT drafts and never returning to them… or feeling like you’re falling behind because you’re not “AI-optimized,” this is a reminder that you’re not behind — you’re just realigning.

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.
