    Episode 40: I Put My Fiancé in the Hot Seat…Here’s What He Taught Me

    How much of who you are is actually you, and how much has been shaped by a culture you don't even realize you're swimming in? In this episode of The Audacity! Podcast, Amanda is joined by her fiancé, Antonio Varela, author of Americano, for a fascinating conversation about the invisible cultural forces that influence how we communicate, lead, work, build relationships, and see the world. Born in Mexico, raised between Mexico and the United States, and having worked and traveled around the world, Antonio shares how experiencing different cultures firsthand led him to become fascinated by the behaviors we often mistake for personality. They dive into individualism vs. collectivism, power distance, cultural attitudes toward time, workplace dynamics, vulnerability, gender roles, leadership, and why someone else's behavior may make a lot more sense once you understand the culture behind it. At the heart of the conversation is one powerful idea: What if we became curious about people before we judged them? Because sometimes the beliefs shaping us are so deeply embedded that we don't even realize they're there. As the story goes: two young fish are swimming when an older fish asks, “How's the water?” After he swims away, one young fish turns to the other and asks, “What the hell is water?” Maybe the first step toward understanding ourselves—and each other—is realizing we're already swimming in it. 📚 Read Americano by Antonio Varela: Amazon: https://a.co/d/0dtitTkR Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/americano-antonio-f-varela/1150073380?ean=9798898330682 Send us Fan Mail

    Episode 39: The Audacity Theory: What If It All Works Out?

    What if the life you want doesn’t require you to feel ready-it requires you to have the audacity to begin? After an unexpected three-week break, Amanda and Ashton are back and getting very real about burnout, anxiety, survival mode, wedding stress, career pressure, and what happens when the life you worked so hard to create starts to feel… heavy. Then we dive into The Audacity Theory: the idea that extraordinary lives are often created by people willing to act before they feel ready, ask before they know the answer will be yes, and believe they belong before anyone else does. We talk about fear, the “terror barrier,” perfectionism, trusting yourself, taking action before you have everything figured out, and why other people’s criticism often says more about their own fears than your potential. But there’s another side to audacity: sometimes the boldest thing you can do is rest, ask for help, set a boundary, or admit that something needs to change. So instead of constantly asking, “What if it all goes wrong?” maybe it’s time to ask a different question: What if it all works out? Send us Fan Mail

    This week on The Audacity!, Amanda and Ashton dive into one of the most debated relationship topics today: micro-cheating. Is liking an ex's thirst trap harmless?
