On the Table: Designing and Cultivating Human Connection Through Everyday Objects with Ashley Gould


Listen Later

Margo is joined by Ashley Gould, the founder of Âme Atendre™, a brand dedicated to creating thoughtfully designed everyday tabletop objects that foster connection and empathy. After a decade-long career as a lawyer and executive, Ashley pivoted toward a more personal mission—bringing people together through intentional design and meaningful conversation.

Margo and Ashley discuss:

  • Ashley's journey from law and corporate leadership to launching Âme Atendre™.

  • How her mother's passion for community and gathering inspired her vision for an elevated tabletop brand.

  • The philosophy behind Âme Atendre™, including the role of thoughtfully crafted objects in building deeper human connections.

  • The fascinating field of neuroaesthetics and its connection to Ashley's work.

  • The power of conversations often left off the table and how respect and curiosity can bridge gaps in understanding.

  • Sneak peeks into exciting Âme Atendre™ projects in development, including a "death box" for intentional legacy planning, a sleek metal wastebasket, and a new hand-blown crystal vase.

  • Insights from Ashley's podcast, On the Table with Ashley, and its mission to foster curiosity and reduce judgment.
