The Phoenix Table
Welcome to The Phoenix Table—a podcast for anyone rising through the messy middle.
Hosted by entrepreneur, parent, and storyteller Sam Anderson, this show is where the real stories get told unfiltered, unpolished, and unapologetically powerful.
Whether you're navigating burnout, grief, mental health, caregiving, or the quiet ache of rebuilding your life, you're not alone.
Through soul-deep conversations, raw solo episodes, and stories of survival and rebirth, The Phoenix Table invites you to pull up a chair and exhale. We’re exploring the concepts of grit, grief and growth.
This is not a space for toxic positivity or surface-level advice. It’s for the people who’ve been through it, are still in it, and are determined to rise anyway.
You’ll hear from guests who’ve lost everything and started over, who’ve cared through crises, loved through darkness, and dared to dream again. And you’ll hear from Sam—honestly, vulnerably, fiercely—as they share their path from ashes to alignment.
If you're ready to feel seen and be inspired, we invite you to pull up a chair.

Welcome to The Phoenix Table
In this debut episode, host Sam Anderson opens the door to The Phoenix Table — a show born from fire, resilience, and the messy middle of life.
Sam shares what led her to create this space for raw stories and real conversations: From motherhood and mental health to identity, grief, and the quiet, unseen work of rebuilding. She reflects on what it means to rise not after the fire, but in the middle of it.
If you've ever found yourself holding everything together while quietly falling apart… this is your invitation to pull up a chair.
This isn’t about surface-level success stories. It’s about what happens in the in-between and how we rise anyway.
You’ll hear about:
• Why now was the right time to tell these stories
• The themes this podcast will explore
• What you can expect in the weeks to come
