Bring Something to the Table

Can a twenty-year age gap between friends enrich your life? Shelby and Leslie think so, and they're here to prove it in the debut episode of 'Bring Something to the Table.' Broadcasting straight from Denver, these friends explore the interplay of joy, wisdom, and the unexpected twists of life.

Shelby shares the story of her 2022 move to Denver, a fresh start that also marked the beginning of a significant friendship with Leslie. They delve into their experiences of pursuing dreams versus grappling with reality. Both hosts champion the importance of authenticity and accepting imperfections, in podcasting and otherwise. They candidly discuss their career choices, the pressures of societal definitions of success, and why climbing the corporate ladder doesn’t always align with finding personal fulfillment.

One idea this pair believes in? Manifestation. Both women emphasize how important it is to have clarity and sincerity in setting one’s goals and making them happen. Leslie recounts finding a partner who truly matches her needs, while Shelby brings humor to the table with a tale of a quirky misadventure involving a neighbor. They reflect on how our desires and ambitions can shift dramatically as we age.
