The following podcast is a Dear Media production.

Hi y'all.

This is houseguess, and I am your host, Kenzie Elizabeth.

Think a Gen Z wannabe Martha Stewart meets Dolly Parton, trying to live in a Nancy

Myers movie in her 20s.

We talk all about life, relationships, navigating your 20s, closing at the bars, or waking up at 5 a.m.

Depending on our vibe that week.

Ultimately, living our best lives and figuring it out along the way.

So coming out, sometimes I have guests on who do really cool things, some of my best friends,

favorite episodes. Because it was just so fun. Like we just clicked so well. We're just very aligned on a lot of things. We're very similar. And I, in like, thinking, I'm like after I'm like, Ashley is the greatest person ever. I meant like we're similar like almost in the way that we like

view things and like situations when she was talking like yeah, I would do that too. I love her and I think

And I think you guys are really going to like this episode. She has had some of her highest highs and lowest lows in the past like year or two. And that is what this project is about. She's talking about her breakup on the episode a little bit more than she normally does. And she's gone
