What happens when you leave the safety of routine and venture out into the world—alone? In this deeply personal episode, I pull back the curtain on my recent solo adventure and share what I discovered not just about the world, but about myself.
From navigating foreign streets with nothing but a carry-on and my instincts, to saying "yes" to unexpected opportunities, this journey was about far more than travel—it was about freedom, courage, and rediscovering who I am in this next chapter of life.
If you've ever dreamed of going somewhere just for you, or you're curious about what solo travel can awaken in your soul—this episode is for you. I'll reveal what surprised me, what scared me, and how this experience transformed the way I view retirement, aging, and possibility. You might just feel inspired to start packing a bag of your own.
If you're curious about traveling on your own—but want a little guidance and inspiration to get started—this one's for you.
AFFIRMATION of the month:
"I trust in my abilities to navigate new destinations with ease."

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.
