    Unreasonable Hospitality at Home with Tammy McGreevy

    Unreasonable Hospitality is a term and memoir by Will Guidara, an elite restaurateur whose practices helped his team make Eleven Madison Park the number one restraunt in the world in 2017.  I invited my mom, who has been my greatest teacher in unreasonable hospitality, to discuss the book and how we can adopt the principles for our homes - and create extraordinary moments of connection and love for our families and friends.  Read the book - I think you’ll love it!  Or hear the big ideas for small business in this podcast.  Come hang out! I can't wait to connect with you! @prettyoverperfect

    The Four Energy Types in Crisis

    We can’t hide who we truly are in crisis - and no one else can, either. Which is why it’s good to understand people’s natural energies when dealing with stressful situations. When we understand why and how we tick, we can also extend grace to others as they handle things - even if they are handling it differently then we want them to .  Do you know your energy type? Take the quiz here! Type 1s are light and bubbly and desire fun. They bring joy and inspiration and are full of ideas.  Type 2s are calm and peaceful and they want comfort. They bring harmony, security and sensitivity.  Type 3s are go-getters, full of energy and desire results. They are great at getting things accomplished and moving forward. Type 4s are precise and perfectionistic, they want respect. They are great at improving processes and making things better.  Come hang out! I can't wait to connect with you! @prettyoverperfect
