Have you ever spent hours preparing for guests, only to have them cancel at the last minute? Or maybe you're the one who's confirmed attendance with the best intentions, but when the day arrives, your social battery is completely drained?

In this candid mother-daughter conversation, Jane and Bobbi tackle the evolving landscape of social commitments and the frustrating phenomenon of last-minute cancellations. Jane shares her perspective as someone who loves entertaining, recounting the considerable effort and expense that goes into hosting events like their famous Low Country Boils—where Dr. Domain meticulously sources the freshest seafood, conducts taste tests, and prepares for days, only to sometimes face disappointing turnouts despite confirmations. Meanwhile, Bobbi offers the introvert's viewpoint, explaining how social anxiety and limited "social battery" can make following through on commitments genuinely challenging.

Whether you're a dedicated host frustrated by no-shows or someone who struggles with the social obligation of attending every event you're invited to, this episode offers valuable insights into finding balance and maintaining courtesy in our social commitments. As Jane wisely concludes: "Enjoy the presence, not the presents."
