Have you ever felt like your emotions were just too much—too big, too heavy, too uncomfortable to sit with—so you ended up reaching for food instead of facing them?
And somehow you find yourself elbow-deep in a bag of chips or three scoops into the ice cream carton before you even realize what you're feeling? Like something was bugging you… but you couldn't name it. You just knew you needed to eat something to make it go away?
Why does it feel so scary to feel your feelings… and what would actually happen if you stopped trying to fix or stuff them?
In today’s episode, we’ll cover:
- Why emotional discomfort makes us run (straight into the snack drawer)
- Why feelings feel scary (especially when weight loss is your goal
- How pushing feelings away with food doesn’t protect you—it traps you
- How to safely sit with big feelings without getting overwhelmed
- A step-by-step tool to help you feel instead of fix. (I promise it’s not scary, doesn’t delve up your past, and it takes less than 2 minutes.)
So if you're ready to stop stuffing, start listening, and surf the waves of emotion without wiping out, then let’s go!

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.
