What happens after you build the business of your dreams… but have no idea what comes next?
In this vulnerable solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really looked like to step away from the day-to-day at Social Curator, operationalize the company, and wait for “the next big thing” to arrive.
Spoiler alert: It didn’t.
I share how I found myself on a remote island in Hawaii with no social media, no laptop, just a journal—and a lot of questions. Despite outward success, I felt stuck, unsure, and disconnected from my purpose. This is the behind-the-scenes of navigating a personal and professional identity shift, facing silence after momentum, and learning to sit in the unknown.
If you’ve ever hit a wall in your business and thought, “What now?”... you’re not alone.
Let’s talk about what happens in the in-between.
Because friend… if you don’t quit, you can’t lose.

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.
