The Mary Marantz Show Let the Biscuits Burn: How to Host the Holidays with Perfect Imperfection with Abby Kuykendall
Do you ever let your PERFECTIONISM keep you from inviting people in? Or are you the one who ALWAYS hosts and your perpetual PEOPLE-PLEASING means you never quite know how to say no?
In this episode, Mary sits down with bestselling author Abby Kuykendall to talk about how chasing PERFECT can keep us from doing the real work of SHOWING UP (both in the world and for your people!) as they dig into Abby's brand new book Let the Biscuits Burn: Cultivating Real Life Hospitality in a World Craving Connection
In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why earlier generations had it "easier" when it comes to the lost art of hospitality
- What Martha Stewart (and the Martha of the bible!) can teach us about the pressure to be perfect.. and at what cost
- The crucial difference between true hospitality and entertaining
- The moment when Abby stepped on my toes in the BEST way… and the #1 thing I'm changing about my hosting moving forward!
- Some important BOUNDARIES to put in place now for the upcoming holidays
- and seriously SO much more!
After listening, you'll walk away with a renewed sense of how much the TABLE matters… and what we can do to both get back to it AND make room for more people!
