Adam joins me for the first time and this one is fully a horror episode!

We talk about how he got into horror (shoutout to his grandma), his favorite movies, and why the “so bad it’s good” ones might actually be the best. Then we get into The Grudge (2004) and Pieces (1982), which I had never seen before, and… I have questions.

It’s chaotic, a little all over the place, and exactly what you’d expect when two people start talking horror. If you’re into scary movies or just want to listen to us spiral about them, this one’s for you!

Nikki is the founder of The Happy Elephant, a candle company that started in her bedroom after she was laid off from the hospitality industry during covid. What began as experimenting with soy candles at home turned into a full small business selling online, hosting candle-making classes, and eventually opening her own storefront in Troy.

We talk about starting a business from scratch, building community through markets and pop-ups, opening a shop while pregnant, and what it really takes to keep going when you’re figuring it out as you go.

On today's episode, I got to chat with Isabelle, who lives in Washington and is passionate about supporting women in sports. She shares her athletic background in soccer and basketball, her current coed indoor soccer league, and why she primarily watches women’s basketball and soccer. Isabelle breaks down Unrivaled, a WNBA off-season 3v3 league designed to keep players competitive at home with better facilities and pay, and discusses ongoing WNBA CBA negotiations around salary cap and revenue share. We also touch on the public reaction to the recent Olympic hockey controversy, Isabelle’s hopes for raising her daughter, Kennedy, with confidence and equality, and our shared experiences growing up with sisters. Finally, we discuss how Isabelle built her social media career, her approach to being a leader versus a manager, and navigating gender bias at work.

Lisa is back! For a third time. Although, only the second time for you all because technology was not my friend during the last recording.

We talk about adult friendship, parenting a toddler, routines that actually work, and why public libraries might be the most underrated parenting resource. Lisa shares what it looks like to show up for her community through church involvement, volunteering as a volleyball and basketball referee, and advocating for girls in sports without embarrassment or shame.

We also get into using your voice, attending town halls, asking questions about voting access and policy, and why “showing up” sometimes means speaking up.

It’s honest, a little chaotic, and very real. Come hang out with us.

I sat down with my coworker, Cass, for a catch-up that turned into a full-on “how is one person this interesting?” episode. We talk about her next-level crafting (including matching Wicked sweatshirts and swatching markers), and what she actually does in media strategy across paid social, SEM, and programmatic. Cass also shares her Midwest-to-agency-life path, why she loves audits and strategy, and then we get into the fun stuff: being a Disneyland Magic Key regular, travel and studying abroad, and how a 2019 breakup + Eat, Pray, Love led her to solo volunteer in India, where she met her now-fiancé. We dig into long-distance life across a 12-hour time difference, culture, and language differences as well. Then we wrap with her hobbies, hyperfixations, and cozy games.

Amy G. is back and we are talking about what it actually looks like to build a business and raise babies at the same time. Like… three under three, 25 weddings in a year, shooting a wedding at 36 weeks pregnant kind of chaos.

In this episode, Amy opens up about her third pregnancy, the logistics of photographing a full wedding day while very pregnant, and the wild two-hour birth story of baby Beverly. We talk about routines, choosing your battles, letting go of perfection, and how confidence is really built in the middle of the mess. Nothing is sugarcoated.

We also get into the evolution of her photography style, from trendy, moody edits to timeless, true-to-color images. Amy shares what changed, why it changed, and how motherhood shaped the way she sees everything, both behind the camera and at home.

This conversation is for the moms who feel stretched thin, the entrepreneurs figuring it out as they go, and anyone in a season where life feels full in every possible way. It is a reminder that you can handle more than you think you can, even when it feels loud. And even when it feels messy.

Hit play and come hang out with us.

It's time for a new episode of Hey, What Are You Doing! This episode is brought to you from Hayley's basement while we watch the election (ugh) and deal with my recording platform's decision to not record the first 20 minutes of the episode. Hayley takes a moment to dive into IVF, placenta previa, and being a new mom. We talk about her journey to becoming a mom, how her birthing experience went, and a few “mom fails” she has experienced in the last 3 months! Thank you for listening!

It's time for a new episode of HWAYD! For this episode I got to interview my friend Kylie, an Air Force flight nurse stationed in Japan. Kylie shares her experiences transporting patients on military aircraft, adjusting to life abroad in Okinawa, and balancing her work while making the best of living over 7,000 away from me. 😉 The discussion covers challenges like isolation, cultural differences, and language barriers, along with the personal growth and leadership responsibilities that come with military service. We also got to talk about Kylie's future aspirations, including a dream assignment in Germany and considerations about her personal life, such as possibly freezing her eggs.
