Life, Luggage & Luxury Deals: Navigating Self-Care in a High-Speed World
In this refreshing, real-life conversation, Christina and Brittany dive into the beautiful chaos of modern womanhood — the family dynamics, the travel planning, the messy moments, and the unexpected wins that shape personal growth.
With honesty and humour, they unpack the importance of self-care, the pressure of social media, and the relief of stepping back when life feels overstimulating. From the realities of planning travel in 2025 to the thrill of scoring luxury deals, they show that life’s highs and lows often happen in the same breath.
They also explore how AI, inbox overwhelm, and digital boundaries impact mental health — and why authenticity matters more than ever. The conversation ends with a grounding reminder: prioritizing yourself isn’t selfish, it’s strategic.
This episode is a permission slip to slow down, recalibrate, and choose what actually matters.
Christina and Brittany reflect on the realities of juggling work, family, travel plans, social media expectations, and personal growth — while staying grounded in what truly matters. They highlight the power of slowing down, finding deals (even on luxury items!), using tools to reduce overwhelm, and staying authentic online. Ultimately, they land on the truth that prioritizing yourself is the foundation for long-term happiness, consistency, and growth.

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.
