Y'all Heard?
Y’all Heard is hosted by Ella Birk—a twenty something who says the quiet part out loud, and the loud part even louder. Through solo episodes and conversations with people who’ve lived some sh*t, the show cuts into culture, identity, power, and conversations that actually matter. It’s honest, a little funny, and built for people who’d rather get into it than scroll past it.

London Recap | Came Home to a Sh*t Show
Went to London. Saw Coldplay. Ate everything and cancelled it out with 25,000 steps everyday (that never happens). Played tourist. Life was light. Then I came home and America really made strides in going to hell in a handbasket. In this episod...
Jasmine Johnson | Textbook Big Sister Energy
This week, I sat down with Jasmine Johnson: one of my best friends and one of the most kick ass people I know. At just 22, after losing her mom to cancer, she became the legal guardian of her younger siblings—while finishing school, working in ...
Craving Community | Are You Willing to Show Up?
This week I’m unpacking the tension between craving connection and avoiding the work it actually takes to build it. I’ve been thinking about how often we say we want community, but still cancel plans, skip the hard conversations, and choose com...
Jake Brown | Rise Higher
This week, we get to sit down with Jake Brown (for the second time… oops): my boss, mentor, and now podcast guest. In this episode, we get into his story—addiction, recovery, coaching wins and losses, parenting, and what it takes to rebuild you...
Jerry Rackley | The Power of Personal
This week I got to sit down with one of the most impactful people from my college years: my former professor (and forever bonus dad), THE Jerry Rackley. Jerry defines his “why” in what he does, and expands on how preparing students for the real...
Technical Difficulty | The Art of Unlearning
Our first guest episode was recorded… and then promptly wrecked by tech issues. Audio went bye bye. Not to fear, we will be running it back and will get it out to you all ASAP. So this week I’m solo, talking through the art of unlearning—pressu...
What In The World?! | Catch Up
We’re throwing Thursdays in the mix. This week, we’re catching up on all the things ranging from Love Island to North Korea’s grand debut in the tourism market (WTF?). On a serious note, I am devastated for my home state and all of ...
48 Hour Modern Exodus | Roll With The Punches
It started with a wakeboarding rope to the face. Then my phone took a swan dive into Grand Lake. Then my car said, “I’m done.” Within 48 hours, the universe hit me with a modern remix of the biblical plagues (minus the frogs, but give it time)....
No One Prepped Me For This Sh*t | Post-Grad Lessons
Welcome to your one-year performance review—except it’s just me, a mic, and everything I wish someone told me after college. We’re talking post-grad whiplash: the job stuff, the money confusion, the weird loneliness, and the myth that routines ...
Off the Bench | Intro
In the first episode of Y’all Heard, Ella Birk sets the tone for what this show is all about—saying the quiet part out loud, and the loud part even louder. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s here to give people a mic and a platform. From coming-of-a...
