In this session of Rising Tides Live, hosted by Shawn Walchef, the community gathered to reflect on the power of hospitality through the lens of Mother’s Day. From honoring the women who raised us to reimagining family-friendly experiences in restaurants, the conversation highlighted how thoughtful details—like personalized kids’ menus, surprise gifts for working moms, or simply easing the burden of planning—can create moments that matter. Special guest Germain Wegbrait of KidsMenus.com brought both expertise and heart to the discussion, underscoring how hospitality begins with empathy. Leaders shared heartfelt stories, practical ideas, and powerful reminders that every table served is a chance to show care, connection, and gratitude—on Mother’s Day and every day.

Homework
Pick one small gesture you can make this week to show appreciation for a mother in your life—whether it’s your own, your partner, a friend, or a team member. It could be planning a meal, writing a note, or simply giving her a break. Then, reflect: How did it shift the experience for her—and for you?
