This week on Love, Amanda, I’m joined by bra expert and entrepreneur Jenè Luciani Sena for a special Valentine’s Day treat!

A consultant for top intimates brands like TrueKind, Jenè is on a mission to help women stop settling for uncomfortable, ill-fitting bras. We revisit her Mad Fashion moment with Chris March, who famously designed a dress made entirely of bras for her, and she shares details about launching a cooling perimenopause bra—because comfort should evolve with our bodies.

Jenè also opens up about love the second time around. Now happily remarried, she talks about finding a partner with shared values, building a beautiful blended family, and navigating co-parenting and step-parent life with intention and grace.

And of course, as an Italian New Yorker, we had to talk pizza—including favorites from Dave Portnoy.

Bras, blended families, and a slice of New York—this episode has it all. Don’t settle for a bad bra… or the wrong love story. 💕

On this episode of Love, Amanda, Amanda chats with renowned pageant coach and reality TV star Cyrus Frakes about the pageant industry, coaching success, and the life lessons beauty queens learn early—confidence, resilience, hard work, and education. They dive into dating after divorce, being friends with exes, advice for boyfriends of beauty queens, and play a fun game of “Coachable or Not?” Plus, Cyrus shares stories from his TV show, King of the Crown, and appearances on other shows including The Real Housewives of Atlanta with Cynthia Bailey.

This week on Love, Amanda, we’re diving deep into love, dating, and the psychology behind attraction.

With years of experience helping people find meaningful connections, Laurie shares expert insights on dating mistakes, emotional attachment, and how to tell the difference between lust, limerence, and real love.
