Ever caught yourself saying, “I’m fine” when you know you’re just… stuck? Yeah, this one’s for you.

In this episode of This Is My Voice, we’re talking about that quiet trap so many of us fall into; comfortable complacency. The space between “I’m okay with this” and “I stopped trying a while ago.” 

We’ll discuss how comfort can disguise itself as contentment, why we stay in situations that no longer challenge us, and what it actuall...

When did every disagreement turn into a declaration of war?

Somewhere between “I see it differently” and “you’re cancelled,” we lost the art of having actual conversations.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why we’ve collectively forgotten how to argue like grown-ups. From algorithm-fuelled outrage to our obsession with being right, we’ll talk about how nuance got replaced by noise, and what it might take to bring curiosity back ...

This week’s episode is short, simple, and from the heart. This Is My Voice is shifting fully to a bi-weekly schedule.

In this mini catch-up, I share why this new rhythm matters, how slowing down actually strengthens creativity, and why rest isn’t the absence of momentum, but what keeps it alive.

Take this as your reminder to breathe a little deeper, to take your time, and to let things bloom at their own pace. New episodes every tw...

We’ve all been there: scrolling through someone else’s big moment and suddenly feeling like our own lives are behind schedule. Comparison sneaks in quietly, and it steals our joy, and reality.

Together, we’ll break down why comparison is so persuasive, how it tricks us into chasing lives we don’t even want, and what it takes to reclaim our own pace.

We like to imagine healing as a straight line; from broken to whole, from pain to peace. But the truth is far less tidy. Healing loops. It gives us good days that feel like progress and hard days that feel like failure.

In this episode, I share why backslides don’t erase growth, but are part of its rhythm.

Listen in, then join the conversation in the Spotify poll: Do you believe healing can ever be a straight line, or do backslides...

We’ve all been told to chase work-life balance. It’s supposed to be the secret to feeling whole, rested, and in control. But what if balance isn’t the answer at all? What if chasing it is the very thing leaving us exhausted and guilty?

In this episode, I share why I believe balance is a myth, how the pursuit of it fuels burnout, and what we can embrace instead.

Listen in, then join the conversation by answering the poll question: ...

You’re not lazy. You’re tired. And no, they are not the same thing.

In this episode of This Is My Voice, Lora Tia serves a hot and honest, truth: rest is more than self-care; it’s rebellion. Especially in a world that worships burnout and applauds over-functioning.

Listen now and share it with someone who needs to hear it.

Who checks in on the person who checks on everyone else?

In this heartfelt episode, Lora Tia unpacks the emotional cost of being “the strong one”—the fixer, the listener, the safe space. The one who’s always there for others, even when no one asks how they're really doing.

From childhood patterns to cultural expectations, Lora reflects on the invisible weight carried by many. With honesty and compassion, she explores what it means ...

We begin our refreshed season with a powerful conversation about how society suppresses the emotional lives of boys. What does it mean to “emasculate” a child, and what are the lifelong consequences of silencing sensitivity in young men?

In this deeply reflective episode, Lora Tia unpacks how culture and parenting contribute to a crisis of identity for the modern male child. With compassion and clarity, she offers a different visio...

    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.
