#196 - Second Homes and Friendship: Hosting, FOMO, and Unspoken Expectations (Stephanie Hansen)
About this episode
This episode explores the complexities of friendships related to owning a second home and the social dynamics involved in hosting.
What happens to friendships when you own a cabin, lake house, or second home? In this episode, I’m joined by broadcaster, cookbook author, and podcaster Stephanie Hansen for a candid conversation about the complicated social dynamics that come with hosting. We talk about repeat guests, unspoken expectations, reciprocity, FOMO, family overlap, and the emotional labor of maintaining a place everyone wants to visit. Whether you own a second home, dream of having one someday, or are the friend who gets invited, this episode will absolutely resonate. Special thank you, as always, to my assistant producer, Rebekah Jacobs!
