    Welcome to Beyond the Bar With Abby

    Welcome to Beyond the Bar With Abby

    Hi, I’m Abby, CEO and owner of Redemption. I started in the coffee industry over a decade ago, and the freshman girl who showed up to work that day didn’t like coffee, was scared to talk to the customers, and had no idea how her part-time barista job could make any real difference.

    But when life started falling apart for me in high school, I found something incredible at that coffee shop bar that would be the catalyst for the person I am today: coffee and conversation. Over that bar I learned the power that a well-served cup of coffee and an authentic conversation could have on a person's life and that lesson redefined my entire journey. So come with me Beyond the Bar, where coffee and conversation are a catalyst for growth.

    I’ll be sitting down with people who inspire me, from entrepreneurs to stay-at-home moms and faith leaders to redemption stories, diving into truth, testimonies, and tactics for living an extraordinary life. So if you’ve been searching for that coffee-with-a-friend experience that leaves you feeling seen, met, and encouraged, you’ve come to the right place.
