I'm Not Finished

Season 3 closes with a story that isn't just told—it's felt. In this final episode, Amanda shares a deeply personal poem, "The House That Held Us," a tribute to the home, the neighbors, and the sacred season that shaped her family. It's about babies becoming kids, strangers becoming family, and the kind of community you don't realize is rare until you're standing on the edge of leaving it. This episode holds the tension so many of us feel: How can life be so good… and still call us forward? It's about trusting God in the in-between. About honoring what was without clinging to it. About following the whisper—even when it breaks your heart a little. If you've ever had to leave something you loved… If you've ever felt both full and pulled… If you've ever wondered why beautiful seasons still have endings—   this one is for you.   🎧 A closing chapter. 🏡 A love letter. 🌅 A step into what's next.

Amanda sits down with nationally touring comedian Steven Gillespie, a stand-up known for insanely witty observations and crowd work that turns any heckle into comedic gold. With credits including Conan, Amazon Prime's Inside Joke, and multiple chart-topping comedy albums, Steven has built a reputation for thinking on his feet and never aiming for the easy laugh. His humor is smart, self-aware, and always punching up. In this conversation, Amanda and Steven talk about the art of live comedy, the self awareness gained through comedy, and how Steven grew into a comedic genius. They also dive into The Dose, Steven's fully immersive psychedelic comedy experience that blends stand-up, music, visuals, and community into a night designed to expand perspectives while keeping audiences laughing.

Amanda sits down with comedian Irina Bogomolova, whose humor blends sharp observation, anxiety spirals, and the absurd realities of modern life. After years on stage in different forms of performance, Irina has found her stride in stand-up—delivering brutally honest, self-aware comedy about everything from workplace dynamics and awkward social encounters to car-wash paranoia and bidets. Her path to comedy includes performing for Fortune 500 executives while battling food poisoning, crushing a stand-up set in a garage full of unused tools, and being told by a drunk audience member she was better than a headliner who claimed to have played Red Rocks (later revealed to be a Film on the Rocks screening of Pirates of the Caribbean). Outside of comedy, Irina is also the founder of Choice in Recovery, where she helps people navigate difficult conversations with honesty and humor—skills she brings straight to the stage. In this episode, Amanda and Irina talk about finding your comedic voice, leaning into life's awkward moments, and why the funniest material often comes from the things we overthink the most.

A poem about the quiet reality of loving a first responder—the pride, the sacrifice, the rhythm, and the unseen emotional weight carried at home. This episode is a tribute to the families who serve alongside the uniform, and a reminder that heroism lives both on the front lines and behind the scenes. If you love or support a first responder, this one is for you.

I Come With A Warning - A story about grief, faith, misunderstanding, and the hard truth that we can't control how others interpret - or heal from - our intentions.

This poem is about what happens when mental and physical health get spiritualized instead of understood. When "faith over fear" turns into shame. When getting help gets framed as disobedience.

This poem isn't an explanation or an invitation to debate. It's a record of what it cost me to choose peace.

She's a Republican. I'm a Democrat. And we're still friends. This conversation isn't about debating or winning. It's about remembering that people are more than the labels they're given—and that story, not slogans, shapes values. In a world that keeps asking us to pick sides, follow the script, and perform for the algorithm, we're choosing something different: curiosity, respect, and real conversation. You don't have to play the game to belong. You just have to be human.

Season 3 begins with integration. In this opening episode, Amanda shares where she's been during the pause, what she's building now, and why this season feels different.   You'll hear about Love on Record—a project centered on intentional storytelling before life's biggest moments—and how that work unexpectedly connected to home design, nervous system safety, and alignment. From poetry slams to spoken reflections, this season leans into voice as a way of processing paradox: gratitude and grief, faith and doubt, love and anger—at the same time.   Season Three is slower, more personal, and more creative. Think audio journal entries, poetry, and truth spoken out loud—not conclusions, just honesty.   If old things are surfacing in your life—not because you're regressing, but because you're ready—this season is for you.

This episode shares a poem straight from my loins about what happens when we drop the labels, pour a glass of wine, and choose curiosity over combat. It's a reminder that we can hold our own convictions while still holding space for someone else's story. We can see each other's perspective without needing to win, acknowledge pain without losing connection, and remember we're ultimately on the same team. At its core, this poem is an invitation back to humility, common ground, and the simple truth that loving our neighbor was never meant to be optional.

Before you hear this piece, just know — I've been on both sides of judgment. I've been the one who needed grace and the one who withheld it. This is my way of reconciling those parts of me — and maybe it'll help someone else do the same.
