Ep 99: Hosting a Dinner Party with Heart (Not Stress) with Faith Kenzler
As the holidays get closer, I always feel that familiar mix of excitement and pressure. The menus, the timing, the tiny details that somehow turn into big feelings. Hosting can so easily slip into performance mode, and I’ve been there more times than I’d like to admit. So in this episode, I wanted to explore what it looks like to bring the heart back into gathering.
I’m joined by Faith Kenzler, an event planner who believes hospitality is really about intention, care and connection. We talk about how to create a dinner party that feels warm rather than overwhelming, and how the smallest choices, from where someone sits to how you greet them at the door, can shift the whole atmosphere. Faith’s stories and insights offer such a grounding reminder that the most memorable moments are rarely the perfect ones, they’re the genuine ones.
Topics Covered:
- The grounding purpose behind any meaningful gathering.
- How intention shapes the flow, mood, and energy of a dinner party.
- Staying present as a host without losing yourself in the details.
- Creating small moments of belonging for guests.
- Simple ways to infuse warmth without adding stress.
- How guests can contribute to connection and ease.
- Why imperfect moments often become the highlight of the night.
