Girls aren’t taught what to do when someone crosses a line.
So we giggle. We fawn. We freeze. We try to keep the peace.

In this episode of The Audacity!, Amanda and Ashton unpack the female experience of disrespect—from sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior to people-pleasing, shame, and self-abandonment. We talk candidly about real stories, why setting boundaries feels so hard, and how to protect yourself without compromising your character.

This conversation is about self-respect, safety, and learning when to speak up, when to walk away, and when silence is power.

If you’ve ever struggled to say no, felt guilty for setting a boundary, or carried shame for something that was never your fault—this episode is for you.

🎧 Listener discretion advised.
Topics include sexual harassment, assault, and emotional trauma. Feel free to skip or pause if needed.

It’s our first episode of 2026..and we’re still kind of shook that the podcast has 1,100+ downloads across 19 countries. (Japan?! Singapore?! Hi besties. 👋)

Today we’re switching gears from goofy relationship chaos to something we actually know a lot about: entrepreneurship. We share our real stories from Amanda’s 13-year journey (distillery → hog operation → personal training → insurance/financial advising) to Ashton’s path of founding nonprofits, building community programs, commercial property development, and running a consulting company with multiple clients.

We break down the skills and mindset entrepreneurs need to survive (and thrive): discipline without a boss, tolerance for discomfort, handling rejection, delayed gratification, being misunderstood, and the biggest one-disconnecting your identity from your business results. Because your revenue can fluctuate… but your worth doesn’t.

If you’re building something (or dreaming of it), this episode is your permission slip to stop playing small, think bigger than your zip code, and keep going even when the doubt spiral hits.

Forget “new year, new you.” In this episode, we talk about how to actually make 2026 your best year yet—without burnout, shame, or resolutions that die by February.

We reflect on the real lessons of 2025, unpack why motivation isn’t enough, and explain why the biggest changes come from small, daily habits—not dramatic overhauls. From self-trust and discipline to gratitude, boundaries, and handling life’s curveballs, this conversation is honest, practical, and a little unhinged (in the best way).

If you’re ready to stop quitting and start building, this episode is for you. Audacity required. Taco Bell optional.
