We'd all like fewer bad days, right?

Happiness expert and author Deborah Mallow joins me to share her 6 Steps to Fewer Days That Suck (also the title of her book).

We walk through each step together and explore how you can create more joy, calm, and control in your everyday life—without pretending everything is perfect.

Deborah opens up about her own winding path from biotech sales to joy coaching and explains how small shifts in mindset and daily habits can make a big difference.

If you’re juggling a million things and want practical, encouraging ways to feel better—this episode is your guide.

Deborah Mallow is a Happiness Expert and motivational speaker who has discovered the secrets to living with fewer days that suck. 

Deborah’s unique career path (from a home furnishings and giftware designer to a #1 Ranked BioTech Pharmaceutical Sales Rep) has been more twisty than a pretzel, but it led her to create The Daily Decisions—a self-improvement toolkit that makes positivity feel less like a chore and more like a dance party! With her Positive Energy Club, she’s here to remind you that it’s not about forcing positivity. It’s about approaching life differently.

Life is too short to be grumpy, so let Deborah be your ray of sunshine.

Ruthie's Table 4

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.
