Hey, What Are You Doing? is a podcast about everyday people and the real lives they’re living, right now. Every week, I call someone up to catch up on what they’re doing in their world: work, home, big dreams, unexpected turns, or just the little things that make up everyday life. Sometimes it’s a first-time guest. Sometimes it’s a “where are they now” update with someone you’ve heard before. Either way, it’s just two people on a call, swapping stories and seeing where the conversation goes. Come eavesdrop. It’s like a catch-up call with your most interesting friend.

Adam is back for another movie-filled episode of Hey, What Are You Doing? and this time we're diving into two of the biggest horror movies of the summer: Obsession and Backrooms . We break down both films with full spoilers, debate which one was better (we definitely don't agree), and talk about everything from unsettling practical effects and psychological horror to the themes that make these movies stick with audiences long after the credits roll. We also get into the rise of YouTube creators breaking into Hollywood, why low-budget horror continues to outperform expectations, the current state of movie theaters, AMC A-List, social media spoilers, and a handful of upcoming releases we're excited to see. If you love horror movies, movie theater conversations, and two friends passionately overanalyzing films, this one's for you. Spoiler Warning: Full spoilers for Obsession and Backrooms . Content Warning: Discussion of violence, disturbing horror imagery, and fictional animal death.

Jamie joins me to talk all things women's sports, flag football, tackle football, coaching, and somehow convincing me to care about football for an hour. We get into how she went from playing basketball in college to becoming a quarterback for the St. Louis Slam, one of the top women's tackle football teams in the country, and helping launch Edwardsville's girls flag football program. We talk about what it's like coaching a brand-new sport, the growth of girls flag football, college scholarship opportunities, and why football has become such an important part of her life. We also get into the reality of playing women's tackle football, from paying your own way to travel and compete, to balancing practices with a full-time job, and the friendships that keep players coming back year after year. Plus: women's sports, photography, travel, and why athletes never really stop looking for their next team.

Courtney joins me and we talk about Taylor Swift, music, career pivots, marriage, travel, and a little bit of everything in between. We get into how she became a Swiftie, how she ended up as the frontwoman of TaylorMade, and what it's actually like performing in a Taylor Swift tribute band. But we also talk about her path through musical theater, radio, and medical coding, the impact her dad had on her love of music, and how losing him in high school shaped the person she is today. It's a conversation about music, grief, unexpected opportunities, and building a life that doesn't always look the way you planned.

Kelsey joins me and this episode somehow includes gardening, infertility, farming, conspiracy theories, and an aggressive tick routine. We talk about her job working with farmers and grain markets, all of her spring gardening plans, and what it’s like living in the country during tick season (which honestly sounds like a full-time job). We also get into her infertility journey, the frustration of advocating for yourself medically, multiple IUI rounds, and where things are at now as she prepares for laparoscopic surgery to hopefully get more answers. Also: books, travel, conspiracy theories, and just generally catching up on life. It’s real, funny, a little chaotic, and exactly the kind of conversation that ends up going in ten different directions.

Renee joins me and we somehow go from nursing and working ICU during COVID to horror movies, cruises, gardening, and The Sims. We talk about her path into nursing, what those ICU years were actually like, and how she ended up in a surgery consult role with a schedule that finally feels human again. We also get into stepmom life, wedding and honeymoon planning, coffee shop outings, plants, psychological thrillers, and why movies like The Strangers are somehow scarier because they feel way too realistic. And yes, we spend time discussing snacks and whether dark chocolate is actually good. It’s chaotic in the best way and really just feels like listening in on two friends catching up.

Courtney joins me and we’re talking pregnancy, postpartum, and newborn life, and nothing goes according to plan. She shares what her pregnancy was really like, having her son Teddy at 36 weeks after a fast labor, and the first few weeks of newborn life, including a NICU stay and figuring everything out in real time as a first-time mom. We get into postpartum surprises (because no one warns you), postpartum mental health, breastfeeding and pumping, reflux, intrusive thoughts, and how overwhelming those early weeks can be. Also: newborn etiquette, baby products that are actually worth it, and a few that absolutely are not. It’s real, a little chaotic, and the kind of conversation you wish you had before going through it.

Braden joins me and we go from our Texas Roadhouse days to him… casually making movies now. We talk about his path from journalism and sports writing to teaching himself screenwriting and creating his own short films, including The Last Thanksgiving (shot on an iPhone) and his newer horror-comedy, So Into You . We also get into filmmaking, writing, film festivals, favorite movies, and what it actually looks like to figure out a creative path as you go.

Tim is back and we’re catching up on everything he’s been up to since quitting Target and starting his plant business, Pothos… which has turned into pop-ups, events, and a full-on dream of opening a plant shop/bar with his husband (I’m already there). We talk about what it actually looks like to build something from scratch, working flexible jobs like Shipt, and why getting uncomfortable is kind of required if you want to grow. We also get into rest, stepping away from grind culture, his current deep dive into Heated Rivalry, and how we somehow ended up talking about Enneagram types, boundaries, faith, queerness, and sourdough. It’s a little business, a little life, and a little all over the place in the best way.

Carrie is back (two years later) and… a LOT has happened. We talk wedding planning, what early marriage has actually looked like, and some of the harder moments along the way, including miscarriage and how isolating that experience can feel. Now she’s eight months pregnant with a baby boy (currently going by “Butch”), getting ready for a baby shower, newborn life, and still trying to land on a name. We also get into buying and renovating a house, her work in organ donation and transplant coordination, finishing two master’s degrees, and how she’s balancing all of that at once. It’s one of those episodes that’s equal parts life update, real talk, and just catching up on everything that can happen in two years.

Lindsay B. joins me, and wow… life since high school has really been doing the most. We talk about her journey with infertility, PCOS, IVF, miscarriage, and what led her and her husband to private adoption. She shares what the adoption process was actually like, how they were matched with both of their kids, and all the emotions, chaos, and unknowns that came with it. We also get into moving all over the country because her husband has always worked in ministry, marriage, motherhood, mental health, and what it looks like raising two Black children as White parents. Plus, Lindsay talks about going from social worker to police officer to detective, which truly feels like three separate lives in one.

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 Elephan t , 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.

Hayley takes a moment to dive into IVF, placenta previa, and being a new mom.

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.
