Weddings & Fresh Flowers (The Valentine's Day Ep) | What a Gift Podcast

Cook a meal. Tell a story. Bring simplicity and romance back to your life. In this episode of What a Gift, we dive into two ancient arts that make life feel more alive: cooking and storytelling. Sarra shares a miracle of a road trip wedding weekend—from getting invited to a rehearsal dinner last-minute… to pulling off an emergency Walmart outfit glow-up in Manhattan, Kansas. Jule shares what it’s like reading Anne of Green Gables out loud at night to “heal the brain” and break the scroll/TV cycle. 🎁Then we unwrap: Why cooking can feel intimidating (especially cooking for one) — and how confidence changes everything A hilarious “Cutthroat Kitchen in Ecuador” mission trip story (yucca roots, tree tomatoes, one propane burner… and mandatory Oreos + fresh cow’s milk hour) The difference between cooking as art vs baking as math How to become a better storyteller (momentum, editing yourself, callbacks, and knowing the point) Why storytelling builds connection—and why we all secretly perk up when someone says “okay, story time…” Listen to the end to find out: Sarra's shocking Walmart recommendation, and Jule's new music artist obsession. If you’ve been craving more wholesome nights, better conversations, and a little more magic in your everyday life—this one’s for you, Gifties. 💛 --------------------- 00:00 – Welcome back, Gifties: cooking + storytelling 00:45 – Road trip wedding chaos + surprise rehearsal dinner invite 02:10 – Emergency Walmart outfits: “miracle in Manhattan, Kansas” 04:15 – Reading aloud to heal your brain (Anne of Green Gables era) 08:48 – Unwrapping the gift of cooking: confidence + cooking for one 11:28 – Ecuador mission trip: Cutthroat Kitchen meets Chopped 16:45 – The Oreos + fresh cow’s milk situation (mandatory snack hour) 17:30 – Baking vs cooking: math vs art 25:45 – Unwrapping the gift of storytelling + why it’s dying 30:21 – Tips for telling a good story (and when to bail mid-story 😅) 38:06 – "My gift to you" recommendations --------------------- Mentioned in this episode: Anne of the Island (Anne of Green Gables series) Chopped / Cutthroat Kitchen Debby Dawson (music) — try: “Chemical Reaction,” “Gut Feelings,” “U of G,” “Nobody” ______________________________ Become an official Giftie — Like and Subscribe! 🚨 See the latest episode a week ahead only on SEEK Replay! http://www.seekreplay.com/category/wh... ✅ Join our email list by registering (for free) on Replay and checking the email box: https://www.seekreplay.com/ ______________________________ LISTEN AND FOLLOW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/62Xh0k0...
