In this throwback episode of Girlfriends, we’re revisiting a topic that resonates with so many women—hospitality. Whether you love opening your home to others or it feels like a stress-inducing performance, this conversation is for you.

We’re not talking about Pinterest-perfect dinner parties or flawless tablescapes. This is about real hospitality—connection, community, and creating space for meaningful conversations. I share practical tips, encouragement, and mindset shifts that can help you become more confident and joyful about inviting others in.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

* Why “entertaining” isn’t the goal—and what to aim for instead

* How to make hospitality a habit (even when life feels chaotic)

* Ways to host without breaking your budget or your back

* What to say when someone asks, “What can I bring?”

* The single most powerful way to make your guests feel seen and loved

Whether you’ve been hosting for years or are just starting to consider it, this is your gentle nudge to open your door and your heart.

💌 Have your own tip or story about hospitality? Reach out and share—I’d love to hear it.
