Our Story
We're Stephen Witt and Sandi Stokes-two souls with 42 years between us, one lifelong dream and zero-interest in playing by the rules of what age "should" look like.
​
We met at a time in both our lives when change wasn't a choice-it was necessary. Stephen, a luxury hospitality entrepreneur in the mountains of North Carolina, was rebuilding his life in sobriety and Sandi, a veteran of the restaurant industry with decades of unforgettable stories and unshakable grace, was finding new purpose outside the kitchen. What started as an unlikely friendship became a lifeline-proof that when two people connect with honesty and humor, the age gap disappears.
​
Age is Just an Appetizer is our podcast, our love letter to reinvention, and our shared table for the conversation we never heard growing up. Together we dive into everything from recovery and resilience to travel, food, friendship, and the wild beauty of doing life your way-no matter how old you are.
​
We're not here to give advice. We're here to share stories-raw, real, hilarious, and healing.
​
So pull up a chair. The main course is still to come.
