In this inspiring episode of Work Like a Mother, host Marina Tolentino sits down with bestselling author, coach, and mom of three, Chris Janssen, to dive deep into her journey from perfectionism to sobriety. Chris opens up about the pressures of motherhood, addiction, and learning how to show up for the life you truly want, even when it’s hard.
With vulnerability and wisdom, Chris shares her story of overcoming self-sabotage, high-achiever habits, and her struggle with alcohol while raising her kids. Now a coach who empowers others, Chris explains the difference between perfectionism and healthy achievement, and why it’s so important to stay committed to your goals—even when the craving to quit sets in.
Listen in as they explore the concept of serenity, the importance of community, and how to navigate life’s pressures with grace. Whether you’re navigating your own sobriety, perfectionist tendencies, or just looking for guidance on how to "show up" in your own life, this episode is full of actionable advice, real-life stories, and encouragement for women everywhere.

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.
