Season 3 Episode 1 | Where have I been for 4 years?!
“Hello, and welcome to the Canyon Home Podcast.” These are words I haven’t said in over four years—and today, I’m saying them again with a full heart and a brand new perspective.
This isn’t just a return—it’s a renewal. In this episode, I’m catching you up on everything: where I’ve been, what I’ve learned, and why I’ve come back to share it all with you. From my time as a private chef and estate manager to the quiet moments that shaped my spirit, I’ve collected a treasure trove of life lessons, home wisdom, and soulful inspiration—and I’m finally ready to give it away.
This is a conversation for anyone who's ever wanted to make their everyday feel like a special occasion—no staff required. Whether you’re folding laundry, planning a dinner party, or simply lighting a candle on a Tuesday, this is your space to feel empowered, inspired, and seen.
We’re building something beautiful here, together—one story, one meal, one perfectly folded towel at a time. Welcome (back) home.
Thank you so much for listening to Season 3 Episode 1 of the Canyon Home Podcast!
