Every Home Needs a Bistro Table

Discover how to create meaningful connections in a world totally distracted by devices

What I Believe

Every home needs a bistro table. It's not just furniture - it's a sacred space where magic happens. Where you put the phone down and reconnect with yourself and your loved ones in a way that becomes nourishment for the soul. I believe in life sizing - doing less but being more. While everyone else is focused on scaling up and getting bigger, I'm here to help you dial things down and savor the daily.

Because meaningful conversations at your bistro table can transform everything.

In a world where we're spinning and scrolling instead of connecting, where families live together but are totally distracted by devices, I believe the simple act of two people sitting belly to belly, eye to eye, heart to heart, soul to soul is revolutionary.

Who I Serve

Women in transition who are wondering what’s missing. You’ve been doing all the things, checking all the boxes, but still you’re lying awake at 2:30 AM questioning if life could be different. You have a good reputation, a successful business and you stay busy, but you feel lonelier than ever. You’ve lost your voice in your own home, and you’re ready to find it again.

How I Help

Through the Picture This Picture Me exercise and my CORE tool, I help you get to the essence of who you are and what your heart really desires. I guide you to create that one intimate space – your bistro table – where real connection happens. It’s about letting go of what doesn’t serve you, connecting with yourself, and letting in the goodness life has to offer.

Meet Nancy

biography

Nancy Yahner discovered the magic of the bistro table by accident. After 30 years of marriage, she realized she had lost her own voice - her creativity, her ability to fully express herself. She was a successful real estate entrepreneur with a team of 14, totally distracted and disconnected in her own home.

 

Then she moved a little bistro table to the far end of her dining room, right in front of a big window overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains. She found herself drawn there each morning for quiet reflection - and in that sacred space, she began reconnecting with herself. Rediscovering who she was beneath all the doing.

 

Only after that self-discovery could she truly open up and connect with her husband. The bistro table became their magical place - where they share dreams and disappointments, cry tears of joy and grief, and are truly present with one another.

 

Her husband now says, "Nancy, wherever we go, I hope our bistro table goes too."

 

From lost to love through an intentional lifestyle switch - that's what Nancy wants to share with you.
