At Grace & Haven, building community is at the heart of everything we do. We’re more than just a retail boutique; we’re on a mission to create a haven for women—a place where the village everyone talks about becomes a reality. It’s a space to learn from one another, push each other, and offer support when it’s needed most. Along this journey, we’ve been blessed to meet some incredible women, and today, we’re thrilled to introduce you to one of them: Kayty Helgerson.
Kayty is the Founder of Gather Intentional Living, a Hospitality Educator, Podcast Host of Making Room, and mama to Wesley. We’re excited to share some of her insights and wisdom with you in our Mama Spotlight!
What Have You Loved Most or Are Most Looking Forward to with Grace & Haven Events?
Kayty’s response reflects what we’ve all been craving: connection and community, especially among local entrepreneurs.
“I have really noticed a gap personally in the local entrepreneur community. I am really looking forward to building friendship in the business community and also collaboration! So, definitely the Momtrepreneurs networking events!”
We couldn’t agree more. Grace & Haven is all about creating spaces where women, especially moms and momtrepreneurs, can come together, share their experiences, and support each other in both business and life.
What’s Your Favorite Grace & Haven Product?
When asked about her favorite product, Kayty had trouble choosing just one (and we totally get it!).
“I love everything! Two things I am definitely eyeing are the globe stuffed toy for kids (we have an active international community and hope to have that be a big part of our son’s life), and goodness do I have to stop there? I guess if there’s one more it’s the east coast line of coastal PJ’s for kids!”
Our selection of thoughtfully curated baby and kids products is a huge part of what we do at Grace & Haven. We’re so glad Kayty loves them too! The globe stuffed toy and coastal PJ’s are perfect picks for bringing global awareness and comfort to your little ones.
What’s Your Word of the Year?
Kayty’s word for the year is one that many of us can relate to—HOPE.
“The word was very clear to me as I started the year! We are coming out of a season of a lot of hurdles and closed doors but are feeling hopeful and expectant for opportunity and community this year!”
We love how Kayty’s perspective resonates with our mission at Grace & Haven. After all, hope is what drives us to keep building, growing, and creating spaces for connection.
Apple Pie Charcuterie Workshop with Kayty
As if her inspirational story wasn’t enough, Kayty is also hosting our Apple Pie Charcuterie Workshop in-store this Friday, October 4th! She’s taught hundreds of charcuterie workshops, with her journey beginning during the pandemic, and now offers a full catalog of online workshops through her website at gatherintentionalliving.com.
This workshop is just one more example of how we’re bringing women together to create, learn, and support one another. We can’t wait to see you there!
