This week, Amanda takes the spotlight as we dive into her journey to motherhood. From conceiving Lennox at a Holiday Inn (iconic) to advocating for herself during a unwanted C-section, Amanda opens up about the raw, real, and unexpectedly funny moments of becoming a mom at 22. We explore how motherhood has shaped her identity, what it’s like to navigate life with two boys at 27, and the lessons she’s learned along the way - all while childless Jessa listens in awe (and slight fear).
Of course, we can’t help but roast Amanda for having the smoothest, most ethereal pregnancies ever, as she floated through motherhood like some kind of glowing goddess…. seriously, how?
Whether you’re a parent, aspiring parent, or firmly in the “not yet” camp, this episode offers insight, laughter, and a deeper appreciation for the wild ride that is motherhood.
P.s. today is Amanda’s bday, go show her some love.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
