You're listening to The Beautiful Mess podcast, your cozy comfort listen.

I'm your host Elsie Larson, and I'm Emma Chapman.

In this week's episode, we're talking about the highs and lows of working from home and how we balance our career dreams with raising young children.

We've also got several great listener questions to cover and

we'll share an extra hot, hot take debate. I love the debates. I know. I can't decide if I like

the really hot ones or the kind of like mild ones. I'm like, I haven't even more to say that

they're hot for me. That's true. I think that actually it's all over the map, but I will say from our emails that our listeners love them. Yeah. All of them kind of and it's fun. It's like we're bonding or we're or we're, I don't know, I don't know, something. It's just for fun though. And I feel like we all have the right attitude about it, right? It gets like whatever. Just be a human. It's all good. We're all trying. It doesn't matter. But the ones I put in this recording session are some of them are so mean. You're going to love it. It's great. I'm so excited. Okay. Okay. So before we jump in, so this is pre-recorded obviously because it's not live. We know this, right? I'm not Terry Gross, you know.

Is that even live? I don't even know. Actually, I don't know, but I would love to be Terry Gross for

many reasons. I would too. I love Terry Gross. But I just mean like, this is not a live show.

It's pre-recorded. We whatever. But, so we recorded this a week or two before the day it comes out.

But the day it comes out, you can imagine us.

At this moment right now, we are in Disneyland, with three-fourths of our children, and

just Jeremy.

And we are living our best life. We're going on the goofy roller coaster. We're trying to rally everyone in the right mood to go on the haunted mansion. We're having corn dogs. And we're getting those little macarons that they only have at Disneyland and not Disney World. So life is beautiful.

Have you ever been a third wheel on your sister's family vacation? Well, now I have. No, it's not really because it's, I mean, you hasn't hanging out. True. And I would be on yours too. Yeah, now that you mention it, yeah, many times. That's not a problem. No, I feel like our husbands maybe didn't know at the time when they married us, but they

figured it out since then. It's like, you kind of married the other one, too. It's great for me, because it's like bringing a nanny, but for free. Then we could switch around and like, it's just perfect. Hey, you don't know how many corn dogs I'm going to make you buy me. So. I love it. Oh, and churros. Oh, yeah. We're going to do the

full Disney experience. We're going to have Mickey Mouse Waffles. So, okay, yeah, imagine us at

Disney. If there's any way you want to imagine us, I think it's going to be wonderful. So this week's

episode is inspired by a couple of different

listener questions that we received. So the first one is from Tearsa and it says,

I read a Nelsey's newsletter that she moved from renting an art studio to setting one up in

her home. I love a podcast segment on what to take into consideration setting up a home art studio to setting one up in her home. I love a podcast segment on what to take into
