The Sweet Tea Series

Hospitality, kindness, politics, and culture. What do all of those things have in common? They all start at the dinner table. 

In this episode of The Sweet Tea Series, Ariana Guajardo sits down with southern hostess, writer, and business owner Lisa Zook to discuss the difference between entertaining and true hospitality and why bringing people back to the dinner table matters.

Lisa explains how fear, perfectionism, and technology have discouraged people from opening their homes and connecting with others. From discussing faith and politics around the family table to putting away phones and welcoming neighbors, she shares practical ways to rebuild relationships, pass down values, and shape a healthier culture.
