In this tender, powerful conversation, Karen sits down with her friend Kate Latimer ... mother, maker, and creative soul ... for a moving exploration of what it means to live with integrity, even when life doesn’t go to plan.

Together they speak about teen pregnancy, the power of being exposed to a different way of living, surviving domestic abuse, raising children while healing, and the role of creativity in reclaiming a sense of self. It’s a story about resilience, softness, and the quiet, stubborn act of staying true to who you are.

Season 1 · Episode 1

Thursday, June 12, 2025 • Duration 14:24

Welcome to the very first episode of The Sieve, a podcast about what really matters and how we choose what to hold onto, and what to let go.

I’m your host, Karen Anderson, writer, creative strategist, and co-founder of Fossoway Stables and in this solo debut, I’m inviting you behind the scenes to discover what The Sieve is all about.

This podcast is born of a lifelong curiosity: why do we do what we do? What shapes the choices we make in life, work, and relationships? And how do our core values, the things we say matter most, actually show up in our day-to-day?

In this episode, I’ll share:

The personal and professional threads that led me here
The meaning behind the name The Sieve
What to expect from upcoming episodes
Why values-driven conversations feel more essential than ever
A few thoughts on slowing down, starting something new, and trusting your voice

Whether you're building a life, a brand, a business or simply trying to live more honestly this is a space for sorting, sifting, and seeing things clearly.

Thank you for being here. I’m so glad to begin.
