Stories Across the Table Podcast

Inspired Journeys. Honest Conversations. Lasting Impact.

Stories Across the Table is a podcast where meaningful conversations unfold—one story at a time. Each episode brings guests from diverse backgrounds “across the table” to share the moments that shaped them: the challenges they faced, the lessons they learned, and the purpose that continues to guide their journey.

These are not scripted interviews. They are real, heartfelt discussions about life, business, leadership, faith, service, and the human experience. From entrepreneurs and leaders to everyday people doing extraordinary things, each guest offers insight that inspires growth, reflection, and connection.

Whether the conversation sparks courage, clarity, or compassion, Stories Across the Table reminds us that when we slow down, listen deeply, and learn from one another, transformation begins.

Pull up a chair. The table is set.

  • LINDA BUCHER: Loss. Grief. A New Beginning.

    LINDA BUCHER: Loss. Grief. A New Beginning.
    Sep 22 2026

    How To Change Your Life Instantly!

    In this episode of Stories Across the Table, Bridget Cook-Burch welcomes Linda Bucher, life coach, founder of The Ripple Effect, and someone who spent forty-five years feeling like life was something that happened to her before she finally decided to happen to it instead.

    Linda moved through years of quiet difficulty, a marriage shadowed by alcoholism she carried largely alone, five years of fertility treatments, five trips to Russia to bring home three children she loves deeply, and then, without warning, her husband's death in the night. She was a sudden widow with a three-year-old, a five-year-old, and a seven-year-old and no map for what came next.

    What she found instead of a map was a book tucked away at the bottom of a cedar chest, a declaration spoken out loud to no one in particular, and eventually a lightning bolt of a realization in front of a website: she was not supposed to find a coach. She was supposed to become one.

    Around the table, Bridget and Linda explore the difference between grieving a person and grieving the unlived tomorrows you thought you would share, why the capacity that opens up after loss can be one of the most important gifts we never asked for, and what it means to help others unleash what they were born to bring.

    This episode is for anyone who has ever said, out loud or silently, that the life they are living is not the one they were meant to live.

    Pull up a chair. This is a story of loss that became a launching pad, a cedar chest that held the right book at the right time, and a woman who discovered her purpose by looking for someone else's help and finding her own instead.

  • GEORGE BRYANT: 9,200 Interviews & Multiple Bestsellers... and only 2 questions that create change

    GEORGE BRYANT: 9,200 Interviews & Multiple Bestsellers... and only 2 questions that create change

    In this episode of Stories Across the Table, Bridget Cook-Burch and Steve Ramona welcome George Bryant, entrepreneur, author, speaker, host of over seven hundred podcast episodes, and a man who has appeared as a guest on more than nine thousand shows, because once people hear him, they cannot stop sharing him.

    George grew up learning to survive, which meant learning to use people, situations, and circumstances as tools before they could be used against him. He carried that wiring into the Marine Corps, then into a business career that rewarded him handsomely for being exactly the disconnected, performance-obsessed person his early life had built. He had the followers, the book deal, the revenue. He also had no idea what any of it was costing him until a woman at a personal development seminar stood him up in front of a hundred people and asked whether he had ever turned around to look at the trail he was leaving behind.

    With disarming honesty, unstoppable energy, and the kind of clarity that can only come from having dismantled yourself and rebuilt from scratch, George shares what it took to shift from surviving to serving, and why he believes connection is the one thing the world is most hungry for and least willing to sit still for.

    Around the table, Bridget, Steve, and George explore the two questions that actually create change, why most personal development content keeps people stuck, and what it looks like to fall in love with the pursuit rather than the result.

    This episode is for anyone who has ever collected every certification, read every book, and still felt like nothing was actually shifting.

    Pull up a chair. This is a story of a man who drove an elderly couple home through Glacier National Park last night without mentioning his name once, and who will tell you without hesitation that this, not the million followers or the bestseller list, is who he actually is now.

    BIO:
    George Bryant is a visionary entrepreneur, New York Times bestselling author, and host of a top-ranked podcast that inspires millions to scale with soul. From his roots as an Active Duty United States Marine for 13 years to a celebrated food blogger and marketing genius, George has turned his raw, authentic journey into a global movement.

  • SARAH STOCKHAM: From Rainforest to TV Host. Painful life detours and the secrets to staying grounded.

    SARAH STOCKHAM: From Rainforest to TV Host. Painful life detours and the secrets to staying grounded.
    Sep 8 2026
    In this episode of Stories Across the Table, Bridget Cook-Burch and Steve Ramona welcome Sarah Stockham, award-winning television host of Simply Sarah on E3 TV, former music educator, and a woman whose childhood at a makeshift table on the edge of the rainforest in central Africa turned out to be the best preparation imaginable for a life spent hosting meaningful conversations.Sarah grew up in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where her missionary parents built schools and welcomed dignitaries from around the world to a table made of two sawhorses and a door draped in African fabric. People came with different languages, different beliefs, and different visions for the future, and the table held all of it. That early lesson, that conversation across differences is not just possible but essential, became the throughline of everything Sarah has done since.With grace, humility, and a warmth that fills the room, Sarah shares how thirty-five years of teaching music gave way to a television career she never planned, how a traumatic event in a classroom became the doorway to a calling she could not have imagined, and why she believes the most powerful thing any of us can do is honor the people who invested in us by keeping that energy moving forward.Around the table, Bridget, Steve, and Sarah explore the art of unintentional mentorship, what it means to start the day grounded before you start it in service, and how a show built on nothing but honest unhurried conversation is reaching over a million viewers a year.This episode is for anyone who has ever felt pushed out of something they loved and wondered whether what waited on the other side could possibly be worth it.Pull up a chair. This is a story of a girl raised at the edge of the rainforest who grew up to build a table of her own, and of the quiet voice that kept telling her the best conversation was still ahead.BIO:Before Sarah Stockham was born, she was introduced to loss. During her mother's pregnancy, an international incident in the Democratic Republic of Congo claimed the life of a colleague who died attempting to rescue a group of missionaries — including Sarah's parents, who were among those being held. Sarah shares this not to compare losses — one cannot — but because it shaped everything that followed. It was her earliest introduction to what she would spend a lifetime learning to navigate: the cascading stress of loss, grief, and the long work of choosing life again.Sarah spent 35 years as an award-winning educator before discovering that stress isn't just something to manage — it's something you can prevent. A #1 Amazon Bestselling Author, Award-Winning TV Host, and Reiki Master, she now teaches women — especially teachers nearing retirement — how to break stress cycles and choose life again after loss, transition, and the accumulated weight of giving everything to everyone else.As Host, Creator, and Producer of Simply Sarah on e360TV, founder of Peaceful Pathways Community, and creator of Reiki Claremont, Sarah brings over three decades of teaching excellence together with energetic healing, nervous system science, and her own journey through PTSD recovery and reinvention at 58.She has witnessed firsthand how loss — of loved ones, of identity, of financial structure, of the ease of gathering — can lead us to build emotional tombs for ourselves, stuffed with regret, guilt, loneliness, and anxiety. Her life's work is giving voice to what choosing life again actually looks like — through the deeply connecting power of community, spiritually guided meditation, Reiki healing practices infused with celestial wisdom, and leaning into the God she calls Papa.She holds a Master's Degree in Education and an Administrative Certificate and has been recognized as both a Master Teacher and Mentor Teacher.Sarah believes it is always okay to care — without carrying the burden.LINKS: https://instagram.com/sarahstockhamhttps://www.facebook.com/sarah.stockham.2025/https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahstockhamSarahStockham.comReikiClaremont.comhttps://www.youtube.com/SarahStockhamYouTube: @StoriesAcrossTheTable https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHPeekMqKYjBAwO28gLSvRABridget’s Free Community - Inspired Writers Clubhouse for Writers and Authors: https://www.inspiredwritersclubhouse.comBridget’s Free Newsletter: https://www.yourinspiredstory.com/newsletter Steve’s Free Community: https://www.skool.com/steve-ramona-community-9836Steve’s Free Newsletter: https://doing-business-with-a-servants-heart.kit.com/steveramonaSteve’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/steveramona/’Bridget’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mbridgetcookburch/ Steve’s X/Twitter: https://x.com/oppbrokerBridget’s X/Twitter: @inspiritwriter Steve’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bizopportunitynow/Bridget’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bridgetcookburch/ Substack: https://p...
