Summary
In this episode of After Hours With Amanda, I’m talking about restriction versus restraint in parenting, food, iPads, friendships, exercise, marriage, and the way I treat myself. This is not advice. It is me learning out loud about raising tiny humans who can build judgment, confidence, and trust instead of just hearing “no” at every turn. We get into sugar, screens, peer pressure, food fear after surgery, getting back to movement for mental health, and the joy of hearing my tiny queen call me out when I needed it. If you are trying to parent without making everything all or nothing, sit with me for a bit.

I like to think of it like a windscreen, like a little hat for my microphone. I think it's called like a windscreen. It's to help with noise. And then I've got Blake's Bow's headphones on from circa 2007 when Bose was in its prime. But I feel like Delilah on the |
