On the Table with Ashley® is a podcast of engaging conversations presented by luxury home goods brand, Âme Atendre. Join host Ashley Gould as she speaks with an inspirational and diverse group of individuals on their varied life experiences and professions. On the Table with Ashley® covers the topics people so often leave off the table, with the goal of increasing human connection through curiosity, respect, and understanding.
On the Table with Ashley® uses each interview as an opportunity to show how difficult and sometimes uncomfortable conversations are the ones worth having.
Ashley approaches each interview with a constructive and open lens. Episodes lean into the facets of every topic with the same core principals – mindful listening, compassion, and sometimes polite disagreement.
Ashley embraces the inspirational nuances of each guest’s lived experiences and doesn’t shy away from introspective, emotional, and complicated conversations. By going deeper, we not only explore the subject at hand but demonstrate how respecting varying perspectives and engaging in intimate, oftentimes provocative conversation without judgment leads to understanding, acceptance, and community.
Âme Atendre explores how surrounding ourselves with functional and beautiful objects helps us to feel “taken care of in our spaces” and in turn incentivizes us to take care of one another. Tying in this philosophy Ashley explores with guests how objects, the ones from our pasts and the ones we collect throughout our lives, connect us to the present moment and to one another.

From Brain to Home: How our Built Environment Impacts Who We Are with Dr. Anjan Chatterjee, Part 2
At Âme Atendre, we believe that the way we engage with the world around us—from the spaces we inhabit to the art we consume—deeply influences our well-being. Our latest podcast episode explores this idea through the lens of neuroaesthetics, the science of how aesthetics impact our minds and emotions.

From Brain to Home: How our Built Environment Impacts Who We Are, Part 1
In a world that moves at breakneck speed, where scrolling replaces savoring and distractions pull us in a thousand directions, how often do we truly see what’s in front of us? Our surroundings, whether carefully curated or unconsciously assembled, hold an energy that affects us in ways we may not always recognize. And as our latest On the Table with Ashley® guest, Professor Anjan Chatterjee, reminds us, paying attention to aesthetics isn’t just about beauty—it’s about well-being.
