Full Nelson

New year, no excuses. In this episode, we talk real accountability and what we are actually committing to this year. From a no BS diet, exercise, and fitness challenge between us to how we think about relationships, friendships, and who we allow access to our marriage, our family, and our home. We get into why not everyone deserves a seat at your table, how couple friends can either strengthen your relationship or quietly drain it, and why being intentional about your circle matters more tha...

This week on Full Nelson, we talk about the new espresso machine we bought and trace back through the quietly insane amount of money we've spent on coffee appliances over the years. It starts with a $30 frother and ends with a full-blown barista setup, but the point is bigger than coffee. We break down how small lifestyle upgrades add up and how the same principle applies to building a legacy. We get into the long-term vision for our family, what we want our life to look like ten or twenty ye...

This week's episode is a study in presence, craft, and commitment. We open with a conversation about the millennial struggle to simply be here. Why our generation is constantly chasing the next accomplishment, the next reinvention, the next season - and what it actually costs us when we're never fully grounded in the moment we're living. From there, we move into one of our most requested topics: steak as a craft. Not trends. Not gimmicks. Just the fundamentals - the cuts that matter, the meth...

We’ll call this our “oops, we skipped a week” episode. In true Full Nelson fashion, we’re catching up, reflecting on what we’ve learned so far, and getting brutally honest about what we could do better, both on the mic and in real life. We answer your questions in a raw Q&A that covers everything from how to tell your partner your needs aren’t being met without sounding like an attack, to what happens when one person’s evolving faster than the other in a marriage. Plus, a peek into our ...

In this episode of Full Nelson, we cover a little bit of everything: our upcoming surrogacy journey, what Invest America’s new policy rollout could mean, and why Tim’s obsession with turning on the “big light” is driving Amanda insane. We also get candid about people spouting opinions online without doing their homework, the evolving role of women in the home, and how Amanda’s algorithm is nudging her away from the girl boss era and closer to homemaker vibes. Equal parts funny, honest, and th...

This week, Amanda and Tim cover it all — from the bedroom to the football field. We’re talking about the messy middle ground of co-sleeping (do we love it or hate it? …both), the dirty truth about swim diapers (spoiler: they don’t actually absorb anything), and how to regulate your emotions when life feels heavy and you’re still trying to be good partners to each other. Plus: Bills vs. Ravens Sunday Night Football predictions, whether we’re actually insane enough to take a baby to Singapore, ...

This week on Full Nelson, we’re serving up hot takes you didn’t know you needed. Like… why Texas Roadhouse might secretly have the best Caesar salad from a chain restaurant in America (yes, we’re ready to die on that hill). Why a DM from Sheetz—the holy grail of Central Pennsylvania gas stations…just changed Amanda’s life yet again. And why we’d rather trust a Waymo autonomous car than 90% of the humans on the road. Then it gets personal: Amanda opens up about going from over 200 pounds to a...

Airbnb vs Hotels, couple finances, and buying a house in Austin, Texas. In this episode, we’re diving into the Airbnb vs Hotel debate, what we love, what we avoid, and when each makes sense for travel. Then we answer listener questions about managing money in marriage, splitting finances as a couple, and how we approach budgeting. We also share a major life update: We put in an offer on a house in Austin, Texas. From house hunting tips to first-time homebuyer struggles, we’re giving you the u...
