Welcome to Big Talk at the Table — a podcast about healing, growth, real conversations, and finding your way back to yourself.

I’m Joni Leigh, and after years of pouring into everyone else, building businesses, leading a nonprofit, surviving heartbreak, burnout, and major life changes, I realized something… a lot of us are carrying stories we’ve never really unpacked.

This podcast is where we finally start talking about it.

From life on the road in my RV to conversations about purpose, self worth, healing, relationships, faith, leadership, and becoming the person you were always meant to be, this is a space for honest conversations that make you feel seen, understood, and a little less alone.

Some episodes will make you laugh. Some might hit a nerve. Some may feel like sitting across the table from a friend who finally says the thing you’ve been needing to hear.

So pull up a chair. There is always a seat waiting for you at this table.

New episodes launching May 11.
