This Week on the Show:
The Truth About Menstruation & Menopause – It’s Time to Talk
This week’s episode isn’t just another chat — it’s a revolution in real talk. We’re throwing out the myths, unpacking the silence, and shining a light on the lived experiences of women navigating menstruation and menopause.
Joined by three powerful, passionate women, we dive into 10 of the biggest myths that still circulate in hushed tones — from “it’s all downhill after 50” to “just get on with it” — and show you why they’re not only untrue, but unhelpful.
Whether you’re managing your own hormonal health, supporting someone else, or simply want to understand more — this episode is packed with facts, laughter, and refreshingly honest conversation.

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.
