With only 60 days left in 2025, it’s time to check in — with ourselves and with our community. The world feels heavy right now. Between immigration struggles, government shutdown threats, rising costs, and emotional fatigue, many of us are carrying more than we realize.
This week’s episode is a reminder to slow down and tend to your own garden — to nurture your peace, your growth, and your purpose. But it’s also a call to remember that our gardens are connected. We bloom best when we look out for one another.
Pamela shares how to find balance between caring for yourself and showing up for others — especially in times when the world feels uncertain.
In This Episode, We’ll Explore:
- Why it’s important to focus inward instead of comparing your growth to others.
- How to protect your peace in chaotic times without disconnecting from compassion.
- The importance of community care — supporting others without depleting yourself.
- How to close out 2025 with intention and prepare your “garden” for 2026.

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.
