She shares stories of family traditions, cultural influences, and the little touches that make gatherings meaningful.Together, Kathryn and Michelle unpack why so many women feel intimidated by hosting, how social media has made us chase “perfect” over “present,” and why opening your home — no matter how simple — can be an act of love, faith, and community.Whether you’re setting a fancy table or serving pizza on paper plates, this conversation will encourage you to see hospitality as less about performance and more about creating spaces where people feel seen, loved, and welcomed.✨ What you’ll hear in this episode:How Kathryn’s family shaped her love for hospitalityMichelle’s hospitality journey and the heart behind Sun CookeryOvercoming fears and intimidation around hostingWhy connection matters more than perfectionPractical tips for starting small with gatheringsThe spiritual side of hospitality as a gift and calling📖 “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” — Hebrews 13:2Episode Timestamps: 00:00 Welcome to Grit and Grace Unleashed 00:39 Kathryn’s Hospitality Heritage 02:43 Introducing Michelle Mize and Sun Cookery 04:44 Michelle’s Hospitality Journey 06:23 The Essence of True Hospitality 08:36 Overcoming Hosting Fears 11:49 Sun Cookery: Making Hospitality Simple 22:04 Faith and Hospitality 23:56 Final Thoughts and EncouragementLet’s connect: 📸 Instagram + TikTok: @gritandgraceunleashed 💌 Subscribe, share, and leave a review to help more women find this space.
