I joined twitter in 2009 and for 15 years - until this very month - it has been my favorite social media platform. The one place where I am only a consumer and not a creator. The place where I met my earliest online friends. The place where I made most of my best online memories following breaking news, political, scandal, and pop culture.And the only other person I know who has been obsessed with twitter for as long as I have been? None other than friend and podcaster Jamie Golden. Jamie and I have shared many obsessions over the years - and I write about her in The Life Council as the Fellow Obsessive friend - but our love of twitter has always been our biggest shared passion. And despite saying numerous times over the years that we'd never leave, we both decided in the last few weeks to depart our formerly favorite space.And thus, a funeral for twitter.In this conversation, Jamie and I talk about our earliest days on twitter, why we loved it so much, our favorite moments, a few of our regrets, and, of course, why we're leaving.You don't have to care about twitter to enjoy this passionate conversation between friends. My hope for this episode is that you'll get a little glimpse into some social media history and that you'll see yourself in a discussion about how being online has changed us.Follow Jamie Golden on IGFollow Jamie Golden on BlueskyListen to Jamie Golden on her podcasts The Popcast with Knox and Jamie and Faith AdjacentFollow Laura Tremaine on BlueSkyFULL SHOW NOTES HEREMENTIONED in this episode:Black Twitter: A People's History (hulu docuseries)Extremely Online by Taylor LorenzSo You've Been Publicly Shamed by Jon RonsonJAMIE's past episodes of 10 Things To Tell You:Ep. 14: Skincare and Makeup Favorites with Jamie GoldenEp. 51: Masterminds: How to create and structure a business peer group (with guests Jamie Golden, Bri McKoy, and Kendra Adachi)Ep. 105: Needles, Lasers, and Fillers in Your Face (Jamie Holden RETURNS!)Ep. 164: Are we friends or not?

This week on the KPL podcast, we have our first ever cookbook author, Bri McKoy. We had a wonderful time discussing her new book, The Cook's Book, favorite recipes, and essential items for every pantry and kitchen. Listen to learn more.
Episode #79: Bri McKoy is a cookbook author and military wife who has moved seven times in 12 years. She went from burning everything in the kitchen to learning to cook as a way to create community. Have you ever wondered how to make good friends in a new city? Bri has repeatedly accomplished this task with some towns proving harder than others. Bri's husband, Jeremy, has been deployed four times since they were married. Cooking helped Bri make friends while he was gone. She is now the author of a beautiful and helpful cookbook, The Cook's Book, Recipes for Keeps and Essential Techniques to Master Everyday Cooking. I am so inspired by Bri's story. I think you will be too!We covered:the importance of creating a sense of community, even when you know you're moving againwhich cities were harder to make friends than otherscombating loneliness and building relationshipsactionable advice on reaching out to othersnot waiting for invitations learning patience in the kitchen and letting go of perfection as a hostFIND BRI MCKOY:Website, Instagram, YouTubeLet's connect over all things friendship!

As we get busier as a culture, spend less time home and with each other there are less opportunities to learn how to cook confidently. We can probably all think of a recipe that did not end up the way we wished it would. Times when dinner stuck to the pan, the cookies ended up salty or even when we took one bite and threw the whole thing straight in the trash. Our guest today, Bri McKoy, can relate. She didn't grow up loving to cook, in fact she didn't see the point in even learning. However as she entered adulthood and realized that her 'eating out lifestyle' wasn't going to cut it, she took on the challenge, learned to love cooking and wants to teach you everything she learned. From how to properly use salt, how the right sauce can elevate basic ingredients and go-to recipes for busy nights. This episode will get you inspired to get back into the kitchen and experiment with new confidence.

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls' Night! I'm so excited about today's episode. Today we're talking about how to make cooking more fun and less stressful. If you've been listening to Girls Night for awhile, you know that I absolutely love food. I can tell you exactly what I've eaten on every one of my birthdays, and I am pretty sure that great restaurants are my love language. The caveat is, I would much rather someone else make the food for me than try to cook it myself. Can anyone else relate?! But cooking is an incredible thing and it's something I want to get better at, so I wanted to talk with someone who can simplify this for us and help us become more confident in the kitchen. And today's guest is going to do just that! Our guest for today's episode is Bri McKoy. I recently received Bri's cookbook in the mail called, The Cook's Book: Recipes for Keeps & Essential Techniques to Master Everyday Cooking, and absolutely fell in love! Bri calls herself an accidental home cook, which she'll explain more in the episode, but she truly fell in love with cooking and is here to teach us some of the things she learned along the way! In the episode, she shares how to make a meal plan, how to tweak recipes and your kitchen to fit your personal taste, what staples we should have in our pantry and she even shares some of her favorite recipes from her cookbook. My mouth is watering just thinking about them! Friends, if you're a beginner in the kitchen, like me, I love that there are ways to make this more enjoyable and Bri is going to tell us how!

As someone who has been writing and creating on the internet for over a decade, I know first hand all the challenges that one can face in their pursuit of creative work. The desire to create is there, but the obstacles are real, especially if you become a parent and feel like your time, resources and energy are limited. My guest, Ashlee Gadd, is the perfect person to speak to his as she has just released a book called Create Anyway: The Joy of Pursuing Creativity in the Margins of Motherhood Ashlee and I ended up talking for two hours about art and perfectionism, how it takes a village to create good work, and the social media of it all. We also took a tangent and had a fascinating discussion about paid communities (including Patreon - where I host Secret Stuff), and metrics and some of the more in-the-weeds parts of content creation. That part of the conversation will be available to Secret Stuff members only. JOIN SECRET STUFF HERE I felt so inspired after talking with Ashlee. You don't have to be a writer or online creator to enjoy this conversation. All of us are wired for some sort of creative expression and life can always get in the way of that. You can buy Ashlee's book Create Anyway wherever you buy books. I hope this conversation inspires you to pursue your own creative outlet with abandon.

Much like cooking, writing requires equal amounts of passion and discipline. There may be joy in cooking and writing, but we've all known — at one time or another — the drudgery of the tasks too. How do we maintain enthusiasm for our work in the midst of everyday tasks? In this episode, host Clarissa Moll discusses the two essential ingredients to a writing life that lasts — passion and discipline. Special guest, author and food blogger Bri McKoy shares how passion drives her work and how her audience motivates her to keep going. The Writerly Life is a production of hope*writers. Written and compiled by Clarissa Moll Edited and mixed by Tyler Anderson Music by Karla Colahan

We hope all you foodies out there have been enjoying the Food 2.0 series. But we know some of you saw what this series was about and thought, I can’t cook, I’ve never cooked, I will never cook, and you can’t make me! Listen, we get it—cooking isn’t everyone’s bag. It wasn’t Bri McKoy’s either. Bri’s an accidental home cook turned cookbook author, and her foray into the culinary space started when her husband refused to build a home out of their collection of Thai takeout containers. Bri reluctantly learned what a pinch of salt was, how to literally toast bread, and that onion casseroles perhaps aren’t the best idea to serve, well, ever. Bri watched a lot of Food Network and honed her craft, and since then she’s found a love for traveling with knives, and as a military wife, she’s learned food can be an easy way to bring people to the table and build community. Jen and Bri share some of their most epic kitchen failures, divulge the biggest lessons we can learn from standing over a stove, and reveal their can’t-live-without-it kitchen gadgets. Bri shows that food fills our days with simple joy and helps us forge new relationships with people in ways we never thought possible—even over a Zoom cocktail. * * * Thank you to our sponsors!

The day has finally come! Shaena has read one of Jenna's all-time favourite books, Still Life by Louise Penny. We laugh a lot and discuss our thoughts on this mystery novel. There is fangirling (by Jenna) and musings on the actual number of trees in Three Pines (by Shaena). The conversation strays to topics including the middle-aged women POV and the many themes of Can Lit. Heavy spoilers occur from 32:37-38:39. On the Reading Break, Shaena talks about A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab, and Jenna talks about Come and Eat by Bri Mckoy. Have you read Still Life? If so, let us know what you think!

I know that top ten lists can be a bit rote, but honestly, there’s something super life-giving for me personally to hear what other people are finding joy in. It gives me ideas of course, but more than that, it reminds me to pay attention to my own life and be even more intentional about nurturing the things in my day that give me a lot of joy. So I hope this list does that for you today! Stuff Mentioned In a turn of events that no one expected, least of all me, I’m a nail polish person. I ride or die for Olive & June nail polish. Having a summer meal formula is saving me this summer. I talk about that idea here and share my own here. I was influenced by Bri McKoy to get these joggers even though they cost around 80 dollars. For sweatpants. But my life is changed and here we are. My beloved Penny and Sparrow have a new album out. Download a transcript of this episode.

She is the author of Come and Eat: A Celebration of Love and Grace Around the Everyday Table which is an invitation to anyone who is searching for a deeper community and a desire to show more of Jesus’ love right from their very own dining room table.

We’re continuing our pizza conversation this week by talking about cheese, toppings, sauce, tools, and how you bake it. If last week’s episode on pizza dough didn’t convince you I’m a nerd over pizza, this one will. I’m realizing I have so much to say that I could have an entire series or even whole separate podcast on pizza. I love it so much and keep learning every time I make it. I hope the more you make it, the more you’ll learn and love it, too! Links You May Find Helpful Jump over to listen to The Lazy Genius Makes Pizza (Part One) if you haven’t listened to that yet. If you want to take cues from my pizza sauce recipe, you can find it on the blog. Thinking about trying caramelized onions on your pizza? Here’s a recipe to make them in the crock pot and on the stovetop (I usually leave out the balsamic vinegar, but that’s just me). Since I make pizza almost every week, it’s important to me to have a pan I love. I use this cast iron pizza pan. My friend Michael believes his pizza steel is best, and my cooking sister Bri McKoy uses a pizza stone. Use whatever makes you happy. Having a pizza peel handy also makes pizza assembly a breeze. I use this wooden one (and store it with my cutting boards). They also make aluminum ones, so again, find what works best for you if you want to invest in one. And as I said last week, a bench scraper is one of the best tools to have in your kitchen. Amen. Bonus tip from Michael — how to make hot honey: Warm up honey in a little pan, add in chopped dried chiles, and warm that together for about 15 minutes on the stove. Then let it cool and put it back in a bottle. He drizzles that on pizzas when they come out of the oven or by the slice and swears by it. Download the transcript of this episode.

Today on the Dear Daughters Podcast, I’m talking with Kristin Schell of the Turquoise Table about all things Thanksgiving. This is the final episode in what I’m calling the Thanksgiving Trio which is three episodes with three of my favorite table people. The first was with EP 75 with Bri McKoy, the second was EP 76 with Jen Schmidt and last but certainly not least is with my friend and neighbor, Kristin! Kristin reveals her biggest Thanksgiving blunder and how that led her to create one simple rule to follow every Thanksgiving. I think you’ll benefit from hearing what that rule is and how it makes everything much easier for Kristin over the holiday. As well, she talks about allowing space for real connection with the people at the table. Kristin is just the best at creating space to spend quality time with her people. Kristin is a hoot. You will just love her. And you also might love winning a signed copy of her book + a cute pie tea towel + a couple Capri Blue Fir & Firewood Candles. Just jump over to my Instagram to enter to win!

We talked about the most important part of the holiday and how to mix in gratitude when you're feeling lonely. This week, I invited Jen Schmidt to chat all things food, memories, and thanksgiving wonder. She’s great at breaking big things down in manageable pieces whether that’s cooking for 30 people or handling the holidays with the best mix of hope + reality. Jen has spent the last decade encouraging, challenging and cheering on women to embrace both the beauty and bedlam of their everyday lives on her popular lifestyle blog, Beauty and Bedlam. She’s a wife, mother, and ‘accidental author’, as well as a fellow table person and thrifter. I loved hearing from Jen. I know you will too!

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite days of the year. I love gathering around the table with my dearest people, sharing affirmations and bumping elbows as we reach for one more slice of pumpkin pie. This season I’m extra grateful because I have a grandson coming Thanksgiving week ~ oh JOY!! Thanksgiving often gets overshadowed by twinkly, glorious Christmas, so I thought it would be extra wonderful to highlight Thanksgiving by talking with a few of my very favorite table people over the next three weeks. My first table friend is adorable Bri McKoy. Bri is a writer, food blogger, air force wife, and a fellow Enneagram 7. Today on the show we talked about how to graciously hold gratitude and sorrow in both hands, and how to be fully present in the Thanksgivings we have, not just the ones we dream of. We also talked some of our favorite Thanksgiving recipes, of course. I can’t wait for you to hear from Bri today!

Over the past week I followed several women on Instagram as they traveled to London for a literary-themed trip. One woman on the trip, Bri McKoy, posted a photo of a letter preserved under glass at St John's College Library. The letter, written by Jane Austen's father, was sent to a publisher, describing a book about the same length as a popular novel of the time. He wondered if they might be interested in taking a look at it. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bl_dpmkAeXt/ The publisher rejected the book, sight unseen, with the short reply "declined by Return of Post.” Famous Books Initially Rejected Here's part of Bri's Instagram caption: Everybody, listen up! What you are looking at is a REJECTION for Jane Austen's book PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. Her dad sent a letter to a publishing house not only asking them to publish her manuscript but also telling them he would pay for everything. Still, they rejected it. They rejected it by sending his letter back to him. Can we sit with this for a moment? Someone. Rejected. P & P. We know of many stories like this. Lithub pulled together a list of books initially rejected by publishers. The list included Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time, with 26 rejections from publishers, and Kathryn Stockett's The Help which endured 60 rejections from agents. The website Bookstr pulled together a list of 10 books rejected multiple times, including Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, which was rejected 12 times; William Golding's Lord of the Flies, rejected 20 times; and Carrie by Stephen King, rejected 28 times. In her Instagram update, Bri pointed out how easy it is for us to have the luxury of knowing the whole story. “Listen,” she writes, “we know how that story ends….But what if we don't know how the refusals handed to us end? What if we are sitting in our own unknown.” Writers in Their Own Unknown Websites like Bookstr don't pull together a top ten list of writers who got rejection letters who still are unpublished. There's no triumph there. There's just the rejection. They're sitting in their own unknown, so we don't find inspiration in them. St. John's College Library doesn't preserve under glass a rejection letter for a book that's still sitting on someone's hard drive, only read by a few beta readers and the writer's mom. The rejection letter is under glass because the book was rejected AND THEN was published and became the much-loved novel Pride and Prejudice. Stephen King's book Carrie made the list because it was rejected 28 times AND THEN it was picked up by a publisher and became a blockbuster commercial success and was made into a movie. Same with The Help. It was rejected, AND THEN. Many of us haven't reached the AND THEN. We know the end of those other stories, but we don't know the end of ours. Worse, if we get the rejection, it feels like END OF STORY. That's why we're afraid. Take Heart: This Is Not The End I'm here to say it is not the end. Bri encourages her readers to take heart. “Rejection is not an executioner. Rejection is a guide.” Then she goes through several possibilities. This rejection could guide us to keep going or to pause. To take a slight left turn even though we were certain we were to go right. The idea could be too big or too small. Then she says, “Remember you are living out a full story, not a highlight reel. Let rejection inform you, not destroy you.” I join Bri in saying “take heart.” Take heart, because a rejection is not THE END. It's not. So don't let the fear of rejection keep you from doing the work. When Fear of Rejection Stops Us Before We Even Begin You may be afraid of a formal rejection by a magazine, an agent, or a book publisher where you submit your project. That fear may be holding you back from even sending it. Don't let it. Don't be afraid to try. Query the agent. If they ask to see the manuscript, submit your work.

Food blogger & cookbook author Bri McKoy wasn’t always a great cook. She didn’t really cook at all until the moment she realized what a gift it was to be able to feed her family and others. Bri discovered the true joy serving others with food and with hospitality. As she moved from food fails into cooking smart, she started her wildly popular food blog: OurSavoryLife.com. Focusing on paleo eating. Far from hardcore about diet, Bri realizes that every now and then you’ve got to have nachos and wings to keep life interesting. Her new book is called Come and Eat was born of a desire to lean into the idea of an everyday table, to pass on the abundance of her life to others, and to serve wherever she can. Whether God calls you to Ecuador or to your own front yard, Bri encourages us to “go get the neighbors,” and break bread together.

This week the boys sit down with Bri McKoy the author of the recently released book, Come and Eat: A Celebration of Love and Grace Around the Everyday Table. It was a great discussion on family, marriage, and…actually, who am I kidding? After I read the title, all I could think about was Taco Bell…
My guest for The Happy Hour #165 is my friend, Bri McKoy. Bri serves as the visionary and leader for Compassion International’s blogger program. She writes regularly at OurSavoryLife.com, a food blog with recipes and stories from around her table, and is a regular contributor to the award-winning Compassion blog and GraceTable.org, a community blog about food and faith. Bri and her husband Jeremy live in Hermosa Beach, California. On today's show, we talk all about gathering people around the table. Bri and I are both big believers in opening our home to share a meal and our lives with one another. Bri is a pro at this and writes all about it her new book, Come & Eat. We talk about how she started cooking with an onion casserole dish, and started hosting people at our house - moving from a late night meeting to a dinner time gathering and the doors it opened for honest and vulnerable conversation. Bri shares about being a military wife and what transition is like for her and her husband after his return from deployment. She shares the most helpful advice she has been given about transitioning together. Finally, we chat all about Compassion and the blogger trips that Bri leads all over the world. Bri shares how you can be involved in a trip or by sponsoring a child. {You can listen to the showHERE. And of course, I would love if you would share with your friends.

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!

If I had a dollar for every time I wished I had a dollar, I’d be the Bill Gates of dollars. Is money really where it’s at though? John Lennon and The Beatles sure didn’t think so. Mark Zuckerberg recently decided to begin the process of giving 99% of his Facebook shares toward learning, curing disease, connecting people and building strong communities. That is A LOT of dollars! It seems for many people that make it to the top financially there’s still a longing to do more, to give back. One of the best ways to give back is to find a great non-profit that you believe in, and support it. Today’s guest, Bri McKoy, just so happens to work for a great non-profit that you can believe in. She’ll tell us all about it, and the way her incredibly unique job helps support its goal.
