Episode 55: Community Over Perfection Around the Table with Bri McKoy

Colorful Eats

On today’s podcast episode, we are hanging out with the adorable and vibrant Bri McKoy, author of the new and beautiful book, Come and Eat, and the blogger behind Our Savory Life. Bri shares with us what motivated her to begin her cooking journey (hint: she got married) and how living in a military community opened her eyes to the need to drop perfection and send out the dinner invites, despite the simple menu and less-than perfect home. This shift in perspective has allowed her to create and encourage community with her social influence and is the foundation to her new book, Come and Eat. Bri shares with us her best tips for creating community for women out there wanting to connect, but feel overwhelmed and aren’t quite sure how to make it happen. Bri is such a breath of fresh air and we absolutely adore her take on community around the dinner table. Get inspired over on Bri’s Instagram and Our Savory Life blog and purchase her new book here!
