The holidays are supposed to feel magical… not chaotic. But for busy moms juggling sports schedules, business goals, family events, and the mental load of motherhood...  this season can feel like one big calendar explosion.

In this episode, I’m sharing 5 boundaries you need to set now (yes, before the invites roll in) to protect your peace, your time, your finances, and your faith during the holidays.

From saying no without guilt, to making space for the things that matter most, I’m walking you through exactly how I’m preparing my heart, my calendar, and my family for a season that actually feels good.

This one’s part pep talk, part planning session...  and totally permission-giving.

🛑 What We’re Covering:
  • Why protecting your calendar is the #1 boundary (and how I protect our Christmas Eve tradition)

  • How to set spending limits without guilt and teach your kids what really matters

  • What to do when family pressure or guilt shows up (and why it’s not your burden to carry)

  • Why protecting your time with God is your real holiday survival strategy

  • How to draw boundaries with your business so you can be present with your family and still hit your goals

  • PLUS: A reminder you need to hear:  You don’t owe anyone an explanation for doing it differently this year

✍️ Quote to Remember:

“Boundaries aren’t about keeping people out. They’re about keeping what matters most in.”

Ruthie's Table 4

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.
