TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES
[00:00:43] Introduction to the show.
[00:01:47] Today, our conversation begs to find out exactly what four inch heels have in common with Kenny Roger’s “The Gambler” song.
[00:02:11] What tune and lyrics are being referenced to - a cappella rendition.
[00:02:58] Decisions. Decisions. Decisions. - Enter the 4" heel story. It was all about looking good.
[00:04:42] Consequences of the 4" heels start piling up Clippety-clop style.
[00:05:43] When wise choices are in short supply.
[00:07:15] Cute had left the building.
[00:07:46] My toes! My toes! Did I even own toes?
[00:08:21] So regarding The Gambler song...
[00:09:02] And I didn't know when to fold.
[00:09:41] I rationally cancelled Rational thought out.
[00:10:41] But, instead of walking away, like me, we might keep pushing into what we're doing when we know it wasn't good for us in the first place.
[00:11:26] To hold or not to hold? To walk away or stay?
[00:12:29] Decision making - learning the skills on how to listen to ourselves.
[00:13:21] Learning to cast our vision.
[00:14:19] It’s all about being honest with ourselves.
[00:14:57] We need to work on taking steps that are gonna benefit us in the long run.
[00:15:29] As painful as it was, I love, love, love the lesson of the heels because it's a tangible experience of how it's okay to fail.
[00:16:13] What do I need to walk away from?
[00:16:39] Don’t forgot about the fact that ya need to know how ta run.
[00:16:58] And you never count your money when you're sitting at the table, there'll be time enough for counting when the deal is done. So you are the only one who knows how and when to evaluate some situations.
[00:17:32] “Just keep swimming, swimmin’ swimmin’…" just keep at it, living in and walking with victory in mind.

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.
