Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Ricardo Karam sits down with Sarah Trad in a conversation about memory, hospitality, reinvention, and the art of transforming a personal story into a place of meaning.Raised between worlds, from Jeddah to Lebanon and beyond, Sarah grew up in a home open to people, encounters, and conversation. That early sense of generosity would later shape many chapters of her life: from her social engagement through Skoun, Lebanon’s pioneering outpatient addiction center, to the transformation of her family house into Beit Trad, a guesthouse that has become a living expression of Lebanese hospitality. The conversation explores how a house can become more than architecture; how memory can be preserved through food, beauty, objects, and gestures; and how heritage can be lived rather than simply inherited. Through her book and through Beit Trad itself, Sarah offers a deeply personal reflection on family, belonging, transmission, and the emotional power of place.Join Ricardo Karam and Sarah Trad in a conversation about memory, hospitality, social responsibility, and the beauty of turning a family home into a shared story.في هذا اللقاء، يجلس ريكاردو كرم مع سارة طراد في حوارٍ عن الذاكرة، الضيافة، إعادة الابتكار، ومعنى أن تتحول الحكاية الشخصية إلى مكانٍ نابض بالحياة. بين جدّة ولبنان وعواصم أخرى، نشأت سارة في بيتٍ مفتوح على الناس واللقاءات والحوارات. هذا الإحساس المبكر بالكرم الإنساني رافقها في محطات كثيرة، من انخراطها في تأسيس سكون، أحد أبرز المراكز اللبنانية المعنية بالدعم والعلاج والوقاية من الإدمان، إلى تحويل بيت العائلة إلى "بيت طراد"، دار ضيافة أصبحت تجسيداً حيّاً لفن الضيافة اللبنانيةيتناول الحوار كيف يمكن للبيت أن يكون أكثر من حجارة وجدران؛ وكيف تُحفظ الذاكرة عبر الطعام والجمال والأشياء والتفاصيل، وكيف يمكن للإرث أن يُعاش لا أن يُورث فقط. من خلال كتابها ومن خلال بيت طراد نفسه، تقدم سارة تأمّلاً شخصياً في العائلة، والانتماء، والتوارث، والقوة العاطفية للمكان.انضموا إلى ريكاردو كرم وسارة طراد في حوارٍ عن الذاكرة، الضيافة، المسؤولية الاجتماعية، وجمال تحويل بيت عائلي إلى حكاية مشتركة.
