Here’s what I dive into:

- How unr...

If you’ve ever been told a pound of muscle burns 50 calories a day, that carbs make you fat, or that you must do fasted cardio to see results — this one’s for you.
In this episode, I sit down with exercise scientist James Krieger to unpack what’s real, what’s outdated, and what actually matters for lasting results.
We cover:

Let’s be honest — we’ve all said it: “I’m just too busy.”
But is it really that we’re too busy… or that we’ve stopped setting boundaries?
In this episode, Coach Jen and I unpack what being busy actually means and how it’s quietly draining your energy, your confidence, and your connection with yourself. We talk about how to stop using busyness as a badge of honor, how to create systems that work for y...
If you’ve ever felt like the fitness industry is talking out of both sides of its mouth, you’re not wrong. From “never train fasted” to “lift light for lean muscle” to “ditch the scale,” women are constantly bombarded with mixed messages that make staying consistent nearly impossible.

- Why “consistency problems” are really strategy problems
- How different life seasons demand different plans

We dive into:

“Calories don’t matter for fat loss—just focus on hormones and gut health.”
You’ve heard that line before… but is it true?

We dive into how we first connected (yes—a call-out!), the moment James ditched brute-force dieting for performance and patience, and how a...

We cover:

It’s alignment with what actually matters to you.

You don’t need more discipline.
You need a plan that fits your actual life.
In this episode, I get real about why so many women struggle to stay consistent and why it has less to do with willpower and more to do with trying to follow unrealistic plans that were never built for real life. From back-to-school chaos to vacation hangovers and holiday excuses, this episode is the wake-up call (and strateg...

Here’s the truth: it’s way more complicated.

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.
