We are thrilled to have wrapped our first season of The Sentimental Twist Podcast. Did you take a listen or watch our show on YouTube? My co-host, Brittany Shepard from The Sentimental Decorator, and I had a great time meeting weekly with you to share our passion for creating meaningful spaces and gracious hospitality across two generations. We have ten episodes available on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube.
Catch Up on Season One of The Sentimental Twist Podcast
Season One of The Sentimental Twist Podcast has wrapped, and what a season it’s been! Over the past few months, we’ve shared stories, heirloom recipes, design inspiration, and conversations that celebrate hospitality, legacy, and living with intention. If you missed an episode—or want to revisit your favorites—now’s the perfect time. We’ll be back in October with Season Two, diving into all things fall and holiday entertaining and decorating. Until then, here’s a quick look back at Season One.
Episode 1: Welcome to The Sentimental Twist
We kicked things off by introducing the heart of the podcast: celebrating stories, traditions, and recipes passed down through generations. Think of this episode as your warm invitation to pull up a chair at our table.
Episode 2: The Power of Heirloom Recipes
We talked about how a single recipe card can connect us across time and memory—and why Grandma’s casserole dish is never just a casserole dish.
Episode 3: Curating a Home with Heart
This episode explored styling your home in ways that tell your story—whether it’s a collection of vintage plates or a shelf sprinkled with family treasures.
Episode 4: Sentimental Entertaining
We discussed hosting with intention (not perfection!) and why the best gatherings often have less to do with matching napkins and more to do with making people feel loved.
Episode 5: Porch Talk—Speed Rounds & Laughs
A lighter episode where we answered quick-fire questions, shared funny memories, and gave you a peek behind the scenes of our own hospitality hits (and misses).
Episode 6: Dear Hostess Letters
We introduced our “Dear Hostess” segment, answering listener questions about everything from navigating guest lists to what to do if dinner doesn’t go as planned.
Episode 7: Bless It, We Had to Share
This episode highlighted some of our favorite finds—whether it was a vintage treasure, a new recipe, or a little luxury we couldn’t keep to ourselves.
Episode 8: Wrapping Up Season One
We’re reflecting on what we’ve learned, what’s brought us joy, and what’s ahead. A sentimental send-off until we meet again in October.
Episode 9 & 10: Guest Interviews
We finished the season by introducing you to two fabulous women – Renee from LucyBettynJune, a vintage collector and dealer, and Sara McDaniel of SimplySouthernCottage, real estate investor, designer, and community builder. These women’s passions align with our pillars of preserving traditions and heirlooms.
What’s Next
Season Two begins in October, and we’re already brimming with ideas. Expect episodes filled with fall flavors, cozy decorating tips, holiday entertaining strategies, and of course, sentimental stories to warm your heart.
In the meantime, catch up on any episodes you missed, re-listen to your favorites, and share them with a friend who loves hospitality, heirloom traditions, and a good story.
Because at The Sentimental Twist Podcast, every season is an invitation to make memories worth keeping.
Hospitality is in my DNA. I founded Home with a Twist, a daughter’s twist on her mother’s traditions, in memory of my mother to celebrate her life and the gifts she shared with me. Mother loved to celebrate life’s occasions – big and small.
