Text me! Tell me something good!

Have you ever had a friend point out something about you that you totally hadn’t noticed before?

Was it a shock? Or—let’s be real—did you actually know but just chose to ignore it?

Friends play a lot of roles in our lives, but the best ones? They’re the ones you can trust with the call out. The kind that’s honest, maybe a little uncomfortable, but always wrapped in love.

This idea never really crossed my mind—until recently. And once I started thinking about it, I couldn’t unthink it. You’ll see what I mean.

Oh, and don’t forget—you can text me now! Tell me what you think about all this, or just send something good my way. Because who doesn’t need more of that?

Imagine… Every continent. Every Denomination. Together across 25 hours on March 1, 2025.

As I sat there listening to Jennie Allen and ALL the passion flowing out of her, I wished you could have been there with me. I knew I could tell you about it, but there was no chance I could fully share about Gather25 in the same compelling way Jennie does.

I am so excited to be able to share these clips with you so you can hear straight from the visionary herself. Enjoy!

This episode is a lead-in explaining how learning to work differently enabled me to share an incredible worldwide event and leader with you.

I have never truly been this honest and open about my faith. It’s something I’ve only ever shared with my closest friends. I’m learning to open up more. It’s taken a crowbar, but I’m getting there!

And since you’re here at the table, it looks like you’re now part of that circle.

Yay! I’m so glad you’re here!

Life is a lot, and (God love ‘em) kids add an extra level of crazy. You never stop, and every ding from your phone induces another level of anxiety - whether it’s a negative notification from the news or a text from the groomer that you forgot to pick up the dog… again.

It's like you're juggling more than actually living, and you’re left wondering where the heck all your joy went.

As much as you want to some days, you know you can’t throw in the towel.

Come sit, take a break, and hang out. Let’s get you in a better headspace and re-light that fire in your soul.

Let’s have some fun and help you find the joy in everyday life again.

Welcome to a storied table.
I’m so glad that you’re here.

Love, AK

Have you ever heard certain concepts, even appreciated them, but couldn't relate to them at all?
Have you ever had an unexpected slowdown in life that makes you feel like you're not just slowing down, but you're actually going in reverse?
Have you ever felt life taking you on a totally new trajectory, but have no clue where you're headed?

Me. I have. Both hands are raised right now. You too?

Come listen and check out what I learned that I did know, what didn't know, and how I finally got to see what came next.

And did you know, there's a funny thing about God and puzzle pieces? He usually only gives one piece at a time. In this episode, we get to see one section of the puzzle come together.

Enjoy!

Have you ever looked back at the events or stories of your past year and finally realized how it all connects together? It took looking back, and zooming out before you could actually see the bigger picture.

I did, and it finally dawned on me that certain things in 2023 were the jolt I needed to get me to make some big shifts. Unfortunately, not all jolts are painless. But, I feel like all these things came together and they are the reasons for the new way I've been doing life this year.

Why am I telling you this whole backstory before explaining why the podcast got a total rebrand?

A: It will make it all make more sense.
B: I believe you'll find yourself in some of these stories, and you realize that you're not alone and they will give you new hope and a new perspective.

I hope you enjoy these preview episodes before the official launch of A Storied Table.

Take care!
AK

“I’ve never had anyone care enough, to spend the time, and help me figure out what was really going on underneath what I thought was holding me back.”

These were Ashley’s words to me after we finished her Breakthrough Session. It was that moment that I knew I was meant to help more women like her.

Ashley is brilliant, strong, unbelievably resilient, and she can even be a bit intimidating at times. So when we spent the time to uncover what was really going on, you could have knocked us over with a feather. It was completely unexpected!

Listen and learn about how these revelations helped Ashley start addressing hurdles in every part of her life, and how by doing this she id now equipped and ready to fearlessly pursue her entrepreneurial journey in full force!

Tarah faced more in a few years than most do in a lifetime. After losing her sister to breast cancer, her mother to early onset Alzheimer’s, and realizing all her writing had virtually disappeared, Tarah needed a massive break.

Tarah learned a lot about herself over the past several years. I’m so glad The Collective was able to be part of her recovery and path forward as she’s stepped back into the writing world.

In this episode, she shares how working with The Collective helped her sort out what was mentally holding her back. Listen to what she did to start pursuing her passions all over again.
