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.

Coffee Break: How to Heal Together Without Losing Yourself
In this solo episode of The Phoenix Table, Sam opens up about what it really means to love someone through their healing — and how to stay whole while doing it.
She reflects on the quiet, complicated space between care and self-preservation: the moments when you want to help, but you’re scared of saying the wrong thing; when you hold back to keep the peace and end up feeling disconnected instead.
Through honest storytelling, Sam shares what she’s learned about partnership, communication, and the courage it takes to tell the truth — even when it’s messy. It’s a reminder that love isn’t about fixing or saving someone. It’s about learning to walk beside them, without losing yourself.
