I always loved the idea of a “third home”.  A place that’s just as regularly visited as your home or job (hence “third”) but it’s a place you can choose, unlike family. It’s a place you can cultivate comfort, connection, and celebratory events, unlike work. Your third home is your home away from home, but you don’t have to clean or do dishes.

That was my vision back in 2018, when I was a stay-at-home mother desperate for a third home. Little did I know when I’d do a crazy thing, the world would change with the pandemic. I signed my lease to my start-up business, Evolet Eve, two weeks before the first shutdown in March 2020. I decided to continue on with my adventure, because I knew when the world would open back up, we’d desperately need more “third homes”.

Boy, was I right.

I think we can all agree that post 2020, public gathering spaces have become so…. unwelcoming and disengaged. It’s like the service industry just gave in and gave up. Not us.

The reason I continued to float through a very challenging time in business, and grow by adding a coffeehouse into the mix in June 2025, is because I did it: I created a third home.
