This week’s episode is a bit of a rollercoaster. Olivia kicks things off while feeling under the weather and recaps our disappointing trip to Six Flags Over Texas, where limited rides and long waits made even Flash Passes feel pointless.

We also talk about some creative changes behind the scenes and why we’re putting Atlas Drums on pause for now to focus on other projects.

Next, we dive into our Enneagram types and what they reveal about our compatibility. Atlas also shares stories from his time on set working with Paramount on a project connected to the Yellowstone universe.

Later, we talk about scoring last-second tickets to see Conan Gray on the Wishbone Tour dressed as Steve and Robin from Stranger Things.

We wrap things up with Olivia’s outing with the Murtha Girls to the Fort Worth Stockyards, thoughts on the new movie Hoppers, and starting the Breaking Bad series.

This week we worked on our movie outline and got excited about the story taking shape. Atlas headed to a Paramount promo shoot for Lioness and ran into a familiar face, while I caught up with an old friend and treated my grandma to lunch and a mani-pedi.

We connected with family, adjusted our daily routines, and reflected on how different perspectives shape the way we work and live together. We also filmed five episodes of our Take Five drum cover series and watched the Twenty One Pilots documentary “More Than We Ever Imagined” twice.

This episode is all about tiny wins, creative chaos, and the everyday moments that make life actually fun when you’re doing it together.

This week we’re catching up on everything from Super Bowl parties and birthday celebrations to discovering what might be the best ice cream we’ve ever had in Waxahachie. We talk about our current era of going to the movies almost weekly thanks to our Cinemark membership (and why The Moment didn’t quite live up to expectations). We also recap filming a music video with our friends in MKN Coffee, balancing creative projects with work and marriage, and Olivia’s showroom grand opening. Plus, we share how we spent our first Valentine’s Day as a married couple at Eataly in Dallas and the very “us” gifts we got each other.

In this episode, we walk through the full creative journey of Atlas . From the first short films he made in middle school to the music he’s creating today with Annex B.

We talk about the early filmmaking experiments like Ransom Space Wars and Fine and I’ll Stay, how Atlas started a freelance videography business at just 16 years old, and the moment he began composing his own scores. The conversation continues through his gap year and the creation of his first feature-length film Black Box, his autobiographical book Sunglasses, and his years posting drum covers on his YouTube channel, Atlas Drums.

We also dive into his collegiate film projects at the University of North Texas, what it was like stepping onto professional sets including work with Paramount Pictures, and how music eventually became a major creative outlet.

If you’ve ever wondered how a creative career actually unfolds. The experiments, risks, and projects that shape it. This episode breaks down the full story.

This week we’re talking about what security actually unlocks.

We spent our first weekend apart since getting married (turns out… we really like each other), and it led us into a deeper conversation about honesty, jealousy, and what it looks like to create a safe relationship. Olivia shares a vulnerable moment about processing old feelings from a past relationship and why withholding jealousy and choosing grace instead changes everything.

We also talk about what we’re building creatively right now: breakthroughs in our movie outline, renaming Atlas’ album, and how feeling secure at home gives you the freedom to take bigger risks in your art.

Safe love. Big ideas. And a walking pad that might’ve changed Olivia’s life.

We’re snowed in and what starts as cabin fever turns into some honest conversations about creativity, calling, and what it looks like to build a marriage with someone who never stops dreaming.

In this episode, we talk about Olivia’s growing Needoh obsession, Atlas finally getting his thumb stitches removed, church hunting (including our visit to Hope Fellowship), and what it’s been like to reignite creative drive in the middle of everyday life and responsibilities.

We also dive into the tension of loving a chronically creative person. The ambition, the restlessness, the constant pull toward “what’s next?”, and how to stay anchored in covenant while still chasing a big vision.

Our wall tells our story. From our first snow to our wedding, Europe adventures, and tiny treasures like a gumball pig and a Mini Cooper model, every piece holds a memory.

In this episode, Atlas and I break down our collage wall, sharing the meaning behind each keepsake, from pressed flowers and Polaroids to vinyls, postcards, and family heirlooms.

In this episode, we navigate the highs of travel and the lows of kitchen accidents. Join us as we recount a chaotic trip to Little Rock and explain why spaghetti squash is officially off the menu. Later in the episode, we dive into a serious conversation about faith and community. We discuss the difficulties of finding a new church home, how "sanctification" plays out in real-world relationships, and what we’re learning about love. Plus, an update on "Annex B" and what’s coming next.
