I’m always looking forward to this podcast drop every week!!Emma and Elsie are so grounding and inspiring at the same time. I appreciate the breadth of topics, their sense of humor, and their creative insight on daily life. It’s just the best!!

Sarahmarinella · Jul 2026

This podcast is a breath of fresh air! I have loved Elsie since the scrapbooking days of years past! It has been so much fun seeing her grow and getting to know her sister, Emma! Emma seems to be such an old soul filled with so much wisdom! I enjoy how light and airy this podcast is! Keep it up ladies and Thank You!

WeeDiva21 · May 2026

I absolutely love this podcast. Elsie and Emma genuinely leave people better than they found them with their quirky humor, stellar book recos, and real talk (that’s actually relatable). Shout out to Katie Day for her guest pop-in with great habit hacks that aren’t intimidating and make a ton of sense. Thank you both for your service of spreading joy in dark times. The world needs more of this!

Penny approved · May 2026

Elsie and Emma are a total delight. Whether sharing design tips or ghost stories, I enjoy their creativity and candor. I appreciate their honesty about their creative journeys and book and movie recommendations. I also appreciate how they talk about running a small business, the realities of social media, and transformation into a new creative career. Both women are so creative—and this is contagious! Btw the Stuffing Meatball recipe is amazing as are their other recipes.
