In this powerful episode of Third Act Unscripted, Katie and Annie sit down with Stacey Kauffman, founder and CEO of SK Collective and The Rising. Stacey shares her courageous journey from media executive to purpose-driven entrepreneur, reflecting on the burnout, misalignment, and wake-up calls that led to a major life transformation. As a single mother of two navigating divorce, career upheaval, and deep personal reckoning, Stacey built a new path centered on clarity, courage, and community.
Tune in to hear how she helps others avoid the "fetal position moment" by creating space for intentional living, finding alignment, and embracing messy, imperfect action. Her story is a testament to the power of rewriting your narrative—even when you don’t yet know the ending.

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.
