Explore every episode of the podcast She Said WHAT?? with Haley Jackman

This episode is a total time capsule. Before moving into my dorm and living through O-Week, I sat down to record all of my guesses and predictions. Would my dorm feel cozy or chaotic? Would I thrive during O-Week or feel completely out of my depth? How much would I miss my family, and would I really be able to balance school, content, and my sanity all at once? This is the “before” version of me — making predictions, setting hopes, and maybe underestimating how real the challenges would be. Listening back after Episode 7, you’ll see what I nailed, what I got totally wrong, and how different reality turned out.

The first week of university is hyped up to be the “best week of your life”… but let’s be real, mine was messy. From moving into my boho dorm that somehow went viral, to living through the absolute chaos of O-Week, I felt like I was drowning in newness and expectations. 

And then? I lasted exactly one week before heading home to reset with my friends and family. This episode is me unpacking the real side of starting university — the pressure, the loneliness, the fun, the crash, and the reminder that your first week hopefully will not define your entire uni experience.

Friendship breakups don’t get talked about enough and sometimes, they hurt worse than a boyfriend. In this episode, I’m opening up about losing friends who felt like family, outgrowing people when you start healing, and what it’s like when people switch up the minute you start doing well.

We’ll talk about jealousy, silent competition, and knowing when to let go vs. when to fight for a friendship. I’ll share what loneliness taught me, and how I started finding “my people” again in new chapters. If you’ve ever cried over a friend the way you would over a breakup — this one’s for you.

It’s Q&A time, and I’m answering all of your questions- from the anonymous submissions to the ones you dropped on my Instagram story. You guys asked it all, and I’m getting real about everything: from starting university and what it’s like going into my program, to balancing school with social media, sports, and life in general. And of course, me being the ultimate lover girl, you know I had to spill a little about love, relationships, and how I see it all now.

This episode is for the ones who want the unfiltered version of my life — the highs, the lows, and everything I’m still figuring out. Think of it like a late night FaceTime where your lover girl bestie is giving you the real talk: no filters, just me catching up with you and answering what you’ve been dying to know.

This one’s personal. I’m opening up about what it really feels like to be in a healthy relationship — and why that can be way harder than it sounds. When all you’ve ever known is chaos, peace can feel terrifying. No red flags, no gaslighting, no rollercoaster… just calm, love, and safety — and somehow that’s when your walls go up the highest.

In this episode, I’m talking about healing and unlearning old patterns, plus how my own health has been affected by high cortisol and chronic stress. From trauma to “daddy issues,” we’ll get into what it means to trust, to soften, and to let someone love you without the fight.

Let’s talk about the side of social media you don’t always see.

In this episode, I’m opening up about the reality of being a teen content creator, the burnout, the brand deals, and the pressure to always look “on” even when you’re not.
It’s so easy to glamorize influencing, but the mental load, the hate comments, and the constant judgment? It’s heavy.

I’m also sharing my Boots and Hearts 2025 recap — and a serious reminder that partying isn’t always as carefree as it looks online. A close friend of mine was roofied at the festival. Thankfully she’s okay, but it was a wake-up call. Please, always watch your drink, stick with your friends, and trust your gut.

This episode is for every girl who’s ever felt the pressure to keep smiling for the camera while dealing with so much more behind the scenes, and a reminder that your safety will always matter more than the content.

Let’s be real, I didn’t get handed a platform, a manager, or some crazy brand deal off the bat. I built this from my bedroom, with my phone, posting 1 to 3 times every single day. No creator fund. No shortcuts. Just being consistent and figuring it out as I went.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Why TALKING VIDS do the best (like day in the life, advice, just being real)
• How I started tagging brands, using #paid + Kale, and actually getting noticed
• Getting a manager and how that changed the game
• Building my Amazon Storefront + setting up passive income streams
• What people don’t tell you ... being nervous, dealing with hate, imposter syndrome
• Why this job isn’t for everyone… but literally ANYONE could do it if they want it bad enough
  

If you’re thinking about starting or you’re already posting and not sure what’s next, this episode is for you. I’m not gatekeeping anything. Enjoy:)

It’s finally here — the first episode of She Said WHAT??
I’m diving into the highs, the lows, and the absolute chaos of my high school experience. From switching schools 3 times, to getting dragged in a 25-girl group chat, playing school sports, and moving schools for a boyfriend (yikes)… I’ve been through it.
I also talk about prom, and why it seriously wasn’t the peak moment everyone made it out to be. This episode is all about growing through what you go through and realizing that life after high school? Way better.
