Around The Table With Karen

A podcast of conversation, presence, and light

Around The Table With Karen is a podcast of thoughtful, unhurried conversation — inspired by the same spirit that shapes Ellev8.

Each episode is an invitation to sit at the table and explore life, leadership, creativity, and becoming, through lived experience rather than theory.

Conversations are held with warmth, curiosity, and care, and are infused with love, joy, beauty, and the quiet light that emerges when people feel safe enough to speak honestly.

The podcast will return soon.
