About the Guest:
Loren Silverman is a life coach and founder of Silverman Coach. With nearly two decades in tech and digital transformation, he now helps overwhelmed professionals and self-identified nerds align their values, create boundaries, and build sustainable habits.

Key Takeaways:
-
Burnout isn’t caused by doing too much. It’s caused by being misaligned. When values aren’t driving your decisions, overwhelm builds silently.
-
Overthinking tricks high achievers into feeling productive. In reality, it’s worry disguised as strategy.
-
One minute of intentional pause interrupts mental spirals faster than any productivity hack. Don't underestimate micro-rest.
-
Small, consistent actions outperform dramatic life resets because they rebuild trust with yourself and reduce overwhelm.
-
Boundaries protect your focus and set mutual expectations. Clear communication prevents emotional leakage and reactivity.
-
Somatic signs like fatigue, brain fog, irritability, and short breath are early indicators of emotional overload. Listen to them before they escalate.
-
Delegation is a leadership skill, not a compromise. High achievers burn out when they try to be the “go-to person” for everything.
-
Gamified coaching frameworks, like Loren’s character-building system, help individuals understand their strengths, energy levels, and personal metrics.
-
Identifying core values clarifies decision-making and eliminates unnecessary friction.
-
Alignment is the antidote to burnout. When actions reflect core values, resilience becomes natural instead of forced.

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.
