Spaces hold more than just things—they hold energy, intention, and memory. In today’s episode, I sit down with my dear friend Brittany, the creative force behind Staple & Layer, to explore the magic of meaningful gatherings. We talk about how spaces can be portals—whether it’s a wedding, a dinner party, or a simple meal at home. This is not about perfection; it’s about presence. Not about aesthetics, but about feeling.

This episode is an invitation to gather with intention—to create spaces that don’t just look beautiful, but feel alive with meaning. To infuse your gatherings with warmth, depth, and personal touch. To remember that the magic of any space isn’t in its perfection, but in the memories it holds.

If you’ve ever wondered how to create gatherings that people don’t just attend but remember—this episode is for you.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• The power of storytelling through design—why a space is more than just decor

• How intention shapes the energy of a gathering (and why people feel it)

• The balance between beauty and meaning—how to design spaces that matter

• Small ways to bring depth, warmth, and personal touch into everyday moments

Reflection Questions:

→ Reflect on the most memorable event you’ve attended.

→ What stories live within the spaces you create?
