Hi friends, this is Emma. Before we begin today's episode, I wanted to make sure that you know about a resource that we have been building for many years.

Did you know that we offer courses over lots of different subjects like podcasting, blogging, Instagram, photography,

and even a few smaller courses like one that our literary agent Lindsay wrote about how to pitch your book idea?

You can find all these options and more at courses.abutifulmess.com.

We only teach courses on subjects we or the other teachers we partner with have extensive experience in.

We want to help others grow and have success.

And we know firsthand the power of learning to make a living or even just a side income online through the creative talents that you probably already have.

We'd love to share all our best tips, tricks, secrets, and mistakes that we've made over the years so that you don't have to.

Our courses are always available so you don't have to sign up for a wait list or plan your year around when the materials are available.

It's ready when you are. And you get access to the entire course at once so you can work through it as quickly or as slowly as you need.

So if you've ever dreamed of starting your own podcast, blog, maybe you want to grow your Instagram or even pitch a book idea you have, go check out our courses.

Just go to courses.dotabutifulmess.com

Yes, for sure. Okay, so by the time this episode goes up, I will either be in root to Missouri or already in the pink house with the kids.

So everyone, please follow along on Instagram this week because that's where I'm going to show the kids reaction and we'll show all the fun little traditions that we're going to be making with their cousin.

Oh, I love it.

Yes, I'm so excited. Okay, so first up, we have a home segment and this is so fun and weird. Okay, we're doing Gen Z to core trends.

This was a listener suggestion. They asked us to give our takes on popular Gen Z home to core trends. So I started researching as you do like, okay, what are the trends? Where's the list?

Where's the example photos? This is very difficult, very difficult to research for and I'll explain why. Okay, so number one, we're old. So we don't know.
