Season 3 closes with a story that isn't just told—it's felt.

In this final episode, Amanda shares a deeply personal poem, "The House That Held Us," a tribute to the home, the neighbors, and the sacred season that shaped her family. It's about babies becoming kids, strangers becoming family, and the kind of community you don't realize is rare until you're standing on the edge of leaving it.

This episode holds the tension so many of us feel:

How can life be so good… and still call us forward?

It's about trusting God in the in-between.

About honoring what was without clinging to it.

About following the whisper—even when it breaks your heart a little.

If you've ever had to leave something you loved…

If you've ever felt both full and pulled…

If you've ever wondered why beautiful seasons still have endings—

this one is for you.

🎧 A closing chapter.

🏡 A love letter.

🌅 A step into what's next.

Amanda sits down with nationally touring comedian Steven Gillespie, a stand-up known for insanely witty observations and crowd work that turns any heckle into comedic gold. With credits including Conan, Amazon Prime's Inside Joke, and multiple chart-topping comedy albums, Steven has built a reputation for thinking on his feet and never aiming for the easy laugh. His humor is smart, self-aware, and always punching up. In this conversation, Amanda and Steven talk about the art of live comedy, the self awareness gained through comedy, and how Steven grew into a comedic genius. They also dive into The Dose, Steven's fully immersive psychedelic comedy experience that blends stand-up, music, visuals, and community into a night designed to expand perspectives while keeping audiences laughing.

Amanda sits down with comedian Irina Bogomolova, whose humor blends sharp observation, anxiety spirals, and the absurd realities of modern life. After years on stage in different forms of performance, Irina has found her stride in stand-up—delivering brutally honest, self-aware comedy about everything from workplace dynamics and awkward social encounters to car-wash paranoia and bidets. Her path to comedy includes performing for Fortune 500 executives while battling food poisoning, crushing a stand-up set in a garage full of unused tools, and being told by a drunk audience member she was better than a headliner who claimed to have played Red Rocks (later revealed to be a Film on the Rocks screening of Pirates of the Caribbean). Outside of comedy, Irina is also the founder of Choice in Recovery, where she helps people navigate difficult conversations with honesty and humor—skills she brings straight to the stage. In this episode, Amanda and Irina talk about finding your comedic voice, leaning into life's awkward moments, and why the funniest material often comes from the things we overthink the most.
