In this episode of Boldly Unscripted, Amanda sits down with Abigail Myers for a conversation that steps outside the familiar rhythms of marriage, parenting, and small-town expectations.

Abigail shares what life looks like through her lens — from her experiences as a bartender in small-town Ohio, to her self-driven growth in the gym, her opinions on AI and creativity, and the joy she finds in creating a life that feels intentional and true to her.

Together, they talk about bartending culture, personal discipline, community, ethical concerns around AI, and the coincidence of both planning trips to Ireland at the same time — comparing the perspectives of adult travel and family travel along the way.

It’s a reminder that perspective grows when we make space for conversations outside our everyday circles.

In the Season 2 premiere of Boldly Unscripted, Amanda is joined by two incredible moms, Courtney Aberle and Jessica Hoffman, for a candid conversation about the parts of motherhood that rarely get spoken aloud.

From postpartum depression and miscarriage to the unspoken tensions in marriage and co-parenting, they unpack the layers of judgment, parenting style clashes, and the pressure of raising kids in today’s world. They also dig into the hard truth of raising better humans while still healing themselves — and the gap between what we want for our kids and what we’re willing to model in our own lives.

This episode reminds us that motherhood is messy, beautiful, layered — and that the things we keep quiet about are often the very stories that make us feel less alone.
