S2 | EP 15: The Art Of Being A Good Guest And An Even Better Friend

The holidays don’t always sparkle—and that’s okay. This is a softer, saner take on the season, focused on showing up as we are, finding joy in small rituals, and letting go of pressure and perfection. From slow mornings and cozy movie nights to simple ways to create a warm home vibe, we explore how to celebrate without burning out.We also get practical about hosting and visiting. Think no-stress prep like stocking the fridge early, setting out fresh linens, and keeping a few thoughtful touches on hand. We talk airport pickups, delivery apps, loose itineraries that respect energy and budgets, and how clear plans are often the kindest form of love. For guests, we share etiquette hosts truly appreciate—helping with laundry and dishes, respecting quiet hours, and bringing an easy, thoughtful gift.Through it all, the message is simple: presence beats perfection. This is your permission to do less, enjoy more, protect your peace, and measure the season by connection—not checklists.• late holiday prep and choosing joy anyway• stocking the home before guests arrive• airport pickups as a love language with limits• budgets, boundaries and expectation setting• using delivery apps to protect energy• low-cost plans that still feel special• guest etiquette that eases the load• starting laundry and running the dishwasher• quiet hours, coasters and tidy spaces• gifts that land: flowers, wine, diffusersPlease like, comment, subscribe, keep playing it even if you’re falling asleep, and leave us a voice note on SpeakPipeSupport the show
