    Love!!
    So happy the new season is back! ✨
  • Andrea and the Ponies
    Love it!
    I adore this podcast, have listened to them, and look forward to the new ones. I’m a horse trainer and this podcast often keeps me company while I spend hours riding. I missed Elise and Emma over the summer but I’m glad they got to take a break and enjoy the summer and their families! As a person without children I love hearing about their families and childen and Elsie and Emma have helped me sympathize and connect with my friends who have kids. They have lots of good tips! But my favorite topics are all things home decor, cooking, and holidays! The holiday episodes are the best! Thank you for all your good work ladies!!! Looking forward to this new season!

    Sisterhood, home decor, movies, parenting, books, dreams, I love this show! Followed Elsie since way back in the day and this show makes me feel like I could be an extra sister! My comfy cozy re-listen!

    After following ABM since college, Elsie and Emma feel like my cool older cousins in my mind. I love listening to their recommendations and commentary. I love that this podcast covers a lot of topics - I am never bored listening!

    Joyful Listen
    I have followed A Beautiful Mess for years and I look forward to this podcast each week! Listening is an instant mood boost. Any episode will leave you feeling inspired, joyful, and with a filled up cup! I always relate to Emma’s way of thinking—as a fellow enneagram 9 😊, and I love hearing Elsie’s through process too as it’s often different than the way I think!
  • Optichristi
    Easy and comfort listen 🤍

    Love Elsie & Emma
    I’ve been a long time follower of Elsie & Emma and I just admire them both so much! I love the casual conversations and the range of topics covered. In the world of influencers they are the most down to earth, authentic ones I’ve encountered!
  • SamanthalyBC
    Affirming, encouraging, & inspiring
    Listening to Emma + Elsie feels like hanging out with a couple of good friends. Their chit-chat is laid back and fun, covering playful topics like movies, home and holiday decor, and books and also more serious topics like finances, aging, and healing from past hurts. I appreciate that they make intentional efforts to avoid shaming and judgmental language. It’s clear that they are sensitive and aware that everyone is on a different journey. The conversations feel open-minded and inclusive. Both sisters are very relatable and bring good balance and perspective to topics. Listening always leaves me feeling affirmed, encouraged, and inspired!

    I’ve Listened to Every Episode and am a Cozier Person Now
    I’ve listened to this podcast for 5 years, and the only thing I’m sorry about is how long it took me to write a review! Every episode really does feel like a cozy chat with friends— I appreciate the kindness, creativity and encouragement Emma & Elsie bring to the world. They share parts of their lives that pique my interest (Renovating houses! Finally getting around to watching classic movies! Creating family magic!), challenge my beliefs (who’s to say I can’t achieve a big goal like writing a novel?), and normalize the everyday rhythms of being a person who wants/tries/fumbles to cook/create/grow/befriend/stretch/learn. Thank you both! PS I can’t really describe how hugely this has impacted my life, but because of this podcast I started reading fiction again as an adult and I feel like it’s rewired my brain in the best way ever!!!

    Fave Podcast! Just a few tiiiiny things
    As the title suggests, this really is my favorite podcast—I'm a creative professionally and in passion, and now a first time homeowner. This podcast truly is my cozy comfort listen and inspires me every time and I truly look forward to every week! I have yet to find another podcast that covers this many genres and is actually ~cool~ and aligned with my visual aesthetic, while still being approachable. My ONLY real note: please let Emma speak more and finish her stories/ thoughts! As a fellow big sister I totally get the interrupting and do so to my own siblings, but it's kind of painful!

    Inspiring 💗
    Long time follower of E + E and love seeing their journey. Hearing them discuss their flop era was HEALING. I’m inspired to take myself less seriously and have more fun. Love listening. 🩷🩷🩷

  • gmjensen
    Love the biz related episodes!
    Please do more episodes about your business. I love love hearing about your strategy, goals and ups/downs. It’s so interesting and helpful. It really made me think about some changes I’ve been needing to make in my own small business. Thank you for the inspiration.

    What a beautiful podcast!
    I love this podcast and so cherish new episodes! I am a full time working mom of three and Emma and Elsie are relatable and easy to listen to. The episodes are light but informative and so enjoyable!! Keep up the good work ladies :)
  • Tricia Okawa
    Highly recommend
    This podcast is the epitome of a successfully ran entrepreneurial business. The hosts are so aware and smart in how they explain, relate, and overachieve in everything they do. I recommend listening from the beginning. This is a great break from news, gossip media, and true crime. Hosts: Thank you for your dedication in creating all that you do!! You don’t know how much your podcast has helped me find myself again.

    My Monday boost
    Seriously though, when can I subscribe to Meditations with Nova? 😆I love it so much. Thanks for all you do to produce a fun podcast!
  • Lilyvc09
    Favorite weekly podcast!
    I’ve been listening to this show every since the first episode when it came out. I get so excited every Monday to listen to this pod. It’s so cozy and makes me feel good after every listen. I also learn a lot about a variety of my favorite topics like home decor, renovations, crafts, cooking, movies and books. Highly recommend!
  • LLMcK1
    I enjoy this pod very much
    I started listening in January this year, at the beginning thought that Emma was very serious but since Elsie moved back in the same city the energy is so much fun. I enjoy getting to “know” you
  • TGbugBobes
    Feel good cozy comfort listen!
    I stumbled on your podcast a few years ago and I love you both! You’re so fun, genuine, entertaining, and helpful! I’ve learned so much, and can relate to so much of how you live your lives. Your podcast is meaningful and matters to so many. I’ve highly recommended you to everyone. I also love the holidays, decorating, baking, cooking, entertaining, crafting, and being there for my fiends and family. Thank you for sharing a piece of your lives with us! You’re the best!

    The sisters I always wanted
    Truly my cozy comfort listen. It’s like hanging out with my cool, artsy sisters.
  • BigAudrey
    Love
    Emma and Elsie’s podcasts was one of the first I listened to. Love it! I’ve tried “saving” new episodes for upcoming trips, etc, but I can’t do it! This is where I also learned about another favorite podcast with Ramith. 😊
  • MaryJoRho
    One of my favorite podcasts
    Listening to Elsie and Emma is like being in a room with two friends catching up. They use the phrase “cozy comfort” a lot and this is how I think of this podcast. It’s my cozy, comfort listen 😊
  • chicago metra rider
    Fun to listen to!
    Very entertaining and full of great home ideas!
  • Jordyn Bridge
    Refreshingly fun and real!
    Elsie and Emma are the coolest! Their passion for hobbies and creativity is infectious. One thing I really love about these two is that they are open minded and they enjoy learning from others.. and from books, of course! There may be certain things they are into that I would never do like tarot reading and other spooky stuff lol …but I don’t even care because they are so fun, kind and welcoming, my interests don’t have to perfectly align with theirs in order for me to enjoy their talks SO MUCH! Their love for interiors, crafts and parenting is so evident and inspires me weekly. Keep doing what you’re doing, ladies! You’re bringing much joy into the world!
  • Anna 00000000
    The best podcast. Truly!
    Fantastic conversations that warm my heart and put a smile on my face.
  • Charin Stroot
    The best smile bringer podcast
    I have been binging the podcast on my morning commute and LOVE it! It is definitely a cozy comfort podcast and I’ve picked up a lot of home inspiration and book recommendations 💜

    New Tagline, But Less Cozy
    I’m sad to say I’m having to update my review to knock it down a couple of stars. I used to eagerly wait for this to come out every Monday, now I rarely listen anymore. I don’t have kids so while it’s totally understandable that two moms would want to share about their kids on their podcast, I relate to it less as it has become increasingly about parenting stuff over home decor and cooking. The hosts are leaning really hard into this “cozy comfort listen” thing in recent months and it was a far cozier listen before they tried to force this rebrand with annoying tagline. I’m glad for them for their success but Elsie’s privilege and house hopping and how she talks about it isn’t even fun to listen to in an aspirational way anymore. I still love Emma and when she has a chance to shine and share her perspective, that is when the podcast is at its best.
  • Milopalmer
    Look forward to every new episode!
    I have been a fan of A Beautiful Mess since the early days, and I love that Elsie and Emma have a podcast! I look forward to the new episode every week, and listening is a bright spot in any day. It’s like listening to a conversation with my besties. :-) Emma and Elsie chat about things I’m interested in, including creativity, home updates, traveling, kid stuff, books, movies, business, goal setting, finances, and more. Thank you to you both for sharing your amazing creativity and kind souls with us all!
  • Lizard00000000
    Enjoyable!
    The podcast is a fun addition to all the things you two do! I look forward to it on Mondays. I’m in the camp that’s disappointed when it’s a movie rewatch, but I’ve been following you for long enough to know that you try new things all the time and I appreciate that about you! Podcasting is such a mystery to me. I would love to hear a breakdown of how you get paid and your thoughts on the industry.

    Cotton candy in the best way
    I love listening to this show, especially to uplift my Mondays. As someone who is often stuck in parenting, work, stress mode, this podcast provides a dose of comfort, kindness, beauty, and escape in the best possible way. It reminds me of summer reading on the beach, cotton candy, long baths… it brings a smile to my face! Highly recommend if you need a fun listen!
  • awechrgifgggg
    It’s like Nancy Meyers had a podcast!
    Love all the effort Elsie and Emma put into the podcast. Hopefully the title of this review makes Elsie and Emma happy haha Always super fun to listen to, but I have to say Nova’s joke or fact at the end might just make the whole episode she is so adorable! Every episode is such a treat whether it’s about a movie, trends, house stuff, etc
  • LuciaEverlasting
    My comfort listen!
    I love this podcast!!! It truly is my cozy comfort listen. Elsie and Emma are so sweet and funny. I used to follow their blog forever ago when they were in LA and I’m sooo glad they have a podcast now and I could catch up with what they’ve been doing. ❤️❤️❤️
  • idyllsunday
    Emma's embarrassing story
    Emma's embarrassing story was so relatable and made me LOL. Also love what Elsie is planning on doing with the new house- fun that the old house is selling furnished :-)
  • Lechicgeek
    Really fun!
    A really well-done, well-produced podcast for lovers of design and home things and just the regular old stuff of life. Love Elsie and Emma!

    A must listen for any blog reader (or non reader)
    If you don’t already read the blog, the podcast will convince you to! I’ve been reading ABM since I was 16, so for over 10 years now :) and I thought I knew Elsie and Emma pretty well from the reading medium. But the podcast opened up a whole new side of them, that I can’t get enough of every week. They truly feel like my friends, and their sister relationship is beautiful. Would recommend! Xx
  • JL Durham, NC
    Look forward to Mondays
    Because there’s always a new ABM podcast. Feels like sitting down with friends, and it’s really true that it’s a soothing comfort listen for me. Thanks Elsie and Emma, I love hearing you guys chat about everything and share your life happenings with us. Especially love the deep dives on home renovation stuff, but I’m here for all of it!
  • anabelly
    Elsie and Emma make Mondays beautiful!
    Thank you Elsie and Emma for creating my favorite podcast of all time! Drinking my coffee and listening to you chat is literally one of the highlights of my week. The way you speak to your followers and listeners with such genuine kindness and warmth is like a big virtual hug. Keep going forever please (no pressure ☺️) I love you both!!!
  • LaurelCS2023
    Two inspirational ladies you’ll love
    From DIY to home renovations theses ladies share it all. I’m a long time blog reader and have loved getting to know them better through this podcast journey.
  • shan____gram
    a great comfort listen
    if you follow a beautiful mess or elsie and emma you will probably really enjoy hearing them chat about any topic each week. as they say in their tag line, it is definitely a comfort listen and for me, an important break from other podcasts that might be about heavier topics. i usually listen while i do chores and clean around the house and it pairs perfectly with activities like that.
  • dapalmaya
    Fun and Calm Listen!
    They have such great ideas, and they are very relatable! I also love their voices. They sound super soothing and calm. They just bring peace and tranquility to me when I listen to them!
  • wildwildwhisk
    Love your sisterly relationship!
    I’ve been a long time reader and listener, from the day it was just Elsie writing the blog, and I still remember when Emma started doing more with ABM. I just love your relationship dynamic and with the podcast, I feel like I’m chatting with old friends. Thank you for bringing joy to my daily commute. Keep up the awesome work ladies!!
  • listener2299
    Meh.

    Love this cozy podcast
    I’ve listened to this podcast since the beginning and it’s easily my favorite podcast. They release episodes on Monday and it really helps to have a relaxing episode on my drive into work to ease me back into the week.
