Summary
Kenzie Elizabeth — the What We Said girls’ favorite hosting queen — is back for another episode all about the grandma lifestyle. Kenzie, founder of Friend of Mine and host of the House Guest podcast, joins Jaci and Chelsey to chat about everything from her longtime hobbies like mahjong and needlepoint to her newest obsession: actual love (hi, Charlie). They get into romanticizing your routine, embracing slower hobbies, and what it means to lean into the cozy side of life, before rounding things out with a conversation on hosting — complete with practical tips for anyone trying to channel their inner Ina Garten.
