If Martha Stewart and Nancy Meyers had a baby with Wi-Fi, it would be Kenzie Elizabeth. She launched her YouTube channel at sixteen, turned hobbies into businesses (needlepoint! dinner parties! book club!), and built a home brand, Friend of Mine. Kenzie shares:
- How she became “all walk, no talk”: buying a house at 24, moving states, learning power tools, and deciding fast.
- Gut vs. anxiety: the practice she uses to hear her own voice over everyone else’s.
- The moment she realized she was people-pleasing in business—and shut down a brand to start Friend of Mine.
Monetizing hobbies without losing joy: needlepoint canvases, hosting, gardening, reading, and more. - Why she loves the internet (and doesn’t want to disappear when things get hard).
- Faith ≠ church: keeping a spiritual life while her relationship with religion evolves.
- Grief, friendship breakups, and who actually shows up.
- Gen Z x millennial hot takes: boundaries, therapy-speak, and the loneliness epidemic.
- Hosting 101: the “lazy girl” theme hack, real hostess gifts, and why a curated guest list is kindness.
- Nashville “signs,” answered prayers, and choosing ease when it appears.
- The business side: freelancers, fulfillment, and the surprising truth about who buys first.
- Podcast nerdery: best traits in a guest, overused phrases, and quick-fire hosting favorites.
