Reflecting on Year One: Our Biggest Wins, Mistakes, & Behind-the-Scenes Secrets

We are celebrating our first anniversary! One full year ago, we officially launched Simply at the Table as a business and a community.   This past year has been an incredible journey filled with personal growth, deep learning experiences, endless laughter, and a few tears. In this special milestone episode, we are pulling back the curtain to share an honest look at what it is really like to run a podcast and a business together as a family. We share our biggest wins, our most instructive mistakes, and how we navigated major life changes—like marriages, graduations, and career milestones—while recording every week. Whether you have been with us since day one or you are hitting play for the very first time, welcome to the table! We are taking this opportunity to reintroduce ourselves and share our unique, multigenerational perspectives on cultivating a beautiful home life. Get to Know the Hosts:

• Leisha (The Mom): The matriarch of the family who spent decades cultivating a nurturing home and balancing creativity with organization. She shares from-scratch recipes and deep homesteading wisdom from her blog, Lockrem Homestead.
• Belle (The Oldest Sister): A storyteller at heart who is currently navigating the early years of marriage, establishing a fresh home with her husband, and translating daily life into shared encouragement.
• Kathryn (The Youngest Sister): An artist and musician who brings a love for adventure to the table. She is currently pursuing a career in aviation, adding a unique perspective on big dreams and future aspirations.
