In this episode, we explore the artful world of intimate gatherings and deep connections with Susan McTavish Best, the mastermind behind POSTHOC salons. With a background as a silicon-valley PR maestro and city guide writer she has woven together communities from the ground up, one meal and conversation at a time.
This episode explores and celebrates the salon, an age-old tradition reimagined by Susan, where a carefully selected guest list and the warmth of homemade food set the stage for deep conversations and connection. As we wrap up, the conversation shifts to societal issues around connection, from the loneliness pandemic to the power of gratitude. We explore strategies to ignite personal action against isolation, emphasizing the transformative power of creating spaces that foster generosity and nurturing the seeds of community through simple acts of gathering.
We invite you to lean in, listen, and perhaps be inspired to host your own salon because it's within these small circles of connection that belonging is created and community is made.
