In this unfiltered and easeful conversation, Amanda brings her husband, Lucas, onto the mic for a raw look inside their marriage. From breaking down gender roles to navigating new parenthood without losing themselves —or each other— they explore what it really means to build a conscious relationship in 2025... especially since they've been building theirs since 2014.

Expect discussion on evolving as individuals, hot takes on flirting while married, hilarious detours that highlight Lucas' ADHD (Jack Black's angelic voice? Balding empowerment? The legend of the red Kia Sorento?), and a whole lot of taboo truth-telling. They talk resentment, desire, leadership in marriage, and why letting your partner be fully themselves might be the ultimate act of love.

Plus, they both share their best tips on entering parenthood and thriving because this wouldn't be an Amanda episode if it didn't include MILF & DILF energy. Whether you're single, partnered, or somewhere in between, this one will leave you questioning the old rules—and maybe rewriting your own.
