What if the second half of life isn't a slow fade... but a fierce beginning?
What if love gets wiser, faith gets steadier, and purpose gets sharper—with age?
This series is a real-time story of reinvention—two lives that collided in midlife and chose honesty over performance, healing over hiding, and strength over survival. It starts with a six-hour first date—coffee, dinner, and a spontaneous trip to Trader Joe’s—and unfolds into a shared life built on courage, truth, and change.
Together, we talk about what most people avoid—trauma, shame, divorce, loss, toxic family patterns—and how to build again with clarity and compassion. We explore the science of healing, why feeling safe is the foundation of real connection, and how love can rewire a nervous system that’s been on high alert for decades.
But this isn’t just about relationships—it’s about redesigning life from the inside out. Leaving careers after 30 years. Moving across the country in your 50s and 60s. Right-sizing homes, realigning lives with values, and practicing wellness that actually works—strength training, sleep, hormones, recovery, and habits that stick.
We don’t do highlight reels here. We talk about the messy middle—duplicate moving boxes, fear-based breakups, burst pipes, courtroom scars, second chances, and the quiet victory of finally being able to rest next to someone who makes your soul feel safe.
Through candid conversation and future guests—from trauma experts to wellness coaches to money mentors—we’re building a place for real talk, practical tools, and late-blooming hope.
If you’re a Gen Xer or Boomer rewriting your story after divorce… healing from what happened… leaving a long career… or finally choosing the life you’ve always wanted—this podcast isn’t just for entertainment. It’s for momentum. For rebuilding. For becoming.
Pull up a chair and sit back. You’re not late to your own life. You’re right on time.

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.
