The following podcast is a Dear Media production.

Hi y'all.

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

Think 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 out 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 come hang out.

Sometimes I have guests on who do really cool things, some of my best friends, or it's just me in my house that I spend way too much time in.

So let's get into the show.

Hi, house guests. Welcome back to the show. I am feeling so chatty today. And thank God, because it is just yet another

solo podcast episode. I don't know why I said that. Like, I film them all the time. I really don't

film them that much or record them that much. Sorry, guys. Really, there's so much lingo going on

because we are on my YouTube channel as well. YouTube.com slash Kinsey Elizabeth. If you guys are not

watching the podcast, I say this in every single episode. You are missing out on half of the fun.

Because right now, I am recording in my cute little rental

home in Nashville, Tennessee. And let me tell you, this home is very cute. I actually just recorded

a Nashville house store if you guys are interested. That is also on my YouTube channel. But if you

guys are tuning in via audio like most of you guys do, I get it. I do. I just does feel a bit offensive to me because I do put a lot of effort into the video. So just putting that out there in case anyone wants to really, you know, maybe take a second listen, put it on on their TV, maybe, you know, pour a cup of coffee, needlepoint in the background. Like, I know you people. You know me. I know you. That's how I feel.

Today, we're going to be talking about quite a few things. I really, like, technically speaking,

we are past, well past, well on our way into the second half of the year. I understand that.

But we are going to be turning some things around, okay? We're scheming, we're plotting for the second half of 2025. The fact that it's 2025 and I almost had 2023 in my brain, like actually illness. And also, summertime sadness, literally the worst thing ever. It's actually awful. I also need to stop talking in extremes because when I hear people talk about like how awful their lives are and like no one died, I literally am like, I'm going to beat you up. Like, that's actually how I feel. And I don't feel good that I feel that talk about, like, how awful their lives are and, like, no one died. I literally am like, I'm going to beat you up.
