Liz Bell Young is with me today for a conversation I didn’t know how much I needed. I messaged her afterward and asked that we always be friends, as I am not one to hold back my undying admiration and love. You will want to message her the same thing once you hear her talk about real, uncomplicated hospitality and how to create havens for the people around you. Liz is an artist, an author, an experience designer, and she collaborates with really cool people at Magnolia and Anthropologie. She is also an approachable and lovely Midwest girl and after drinking in her new beautiful book, Let There Be Havens: An Invitation to Gentle Hospitality, I was honored to get to talk with her.
