Making Room by Gather
Kayty Helgerson
Hospitality. What do you think of when you hear that word? For some it's old school 'stuffy' entertaining for others it's something to do with the hotel industry. One thing is for sure, as a culture we're not talking about it much. Food * Design * Relationships have seemed to have taken a back seat to what our culture focuses on and values yet...we find ourselves in the midst of a loneliness epidemic. Something has to change, it's time to get back to our tables, and we're making room for it! Making Room by Gather invites you into a new conversation on everyday hospitality. One that rewrites the way we approach opening your doors and filling your tables. Shifting the narrative from 'how does this make me look' to 'how does this make you feel' these buildable conversations aspire to inspire connection through everyday gathering. Kayty's chic and a little quirky interview style will make you feel like you're sitting with a friend talking about how to grow in confidence as an everyday host. You can expect conversations from navigating challenging relationship dynamics to foundational cooking techniques and everything in between. Whether you are a seasoned host or looking to develop new friendships and grow in your skills for the first time, there is a seat at the table. Join us weekly for new conversations with expert guests and with Kayty in her beloved Date with Kayt episodes. Continue the conversation @gatheritentionalliving

Soul On Fire: Once Destined to Die, Now Teaching Others to Truly Live w/ John O'Leary
A few months back I met John O'Leary at an event, after not knowing much about him before that. His humility, integrity, and wisdom shined through and quickly I recognized that that type of leadership and relationship honest come without a story ...and that story needed to be heard. John O’Leary’s story began at nine years old, when a house fire left him burned on 100% of his body and given less than a 1% chance to live. Followed by years of hidden pain, stubborn hope, and a community t...

Our Miracle House Story: A Conversation of HOPE for Anyone Believing for a Space to Call Home
Some new home stories start with spreadsheets. Ours began with a tired face at a graduation party and a nudge that wouldn’t let go. After six years in an 800-square-foot cottage that doubled as an studio and home, we were out of options and almost out of hope. We’d heard “you’ll never find it” from strangers and a realtor that reviewed our dream + budget on paper... Then quickly things changed. We reconnected with friends, after something in our heart told us to send the text that answered a...
