    The Christmas One!

    This episode starts light and festive and ends somewhere we didn’t expect. We talk Christmas traditions, the ongoing debate about opening gifts early, our favorite and least favorite Christmas songs, and how we think about personal goal setting as the new year approaches. Then we get into couple goals, whether you should sit down and formally plan your future together or let things unfold organically. And finally, Tim drops a surprise: he’s into manifestation?!  Which leads to an honest, thoughtful conversation about how manifestation and religion can exist in the same space, and what we actually believe. It’s cozy, funny, and gets real at the end.

    Coffee, Legacy & The Circle of Life: Building a Future (One Espresso at a Time)

    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 years from now, and how you can start planning for the future you want even if you live in a downtown high-rise with no land and no space. Inside this episode: • The slow creep of "just one more coffee gadget" • Smart financial decisions that compound over time • How to think legacy even if you're not in your forever home • How to choose a partner who actually wants the same future you do • Tim's hunting trip, shooting a deer, and the reverence in the full-circle process of taking an animal's life and honouring it through food • Why the "circle of life" conversation matters more than people think It's one of our most grounded conversations yet. Part marriage, part money, part family planning, part espresso-fuelled chaos. If you're dreaming of a long-game life built intentions and thoughtfully, this episode will feel like a blueprint.

    Tis the season and insane conversations about controversial articles.

    This week on full nelson, we spiral (lovingly) through the chaos of the holidays, starting with the controversial take that parents are the actual magic makers and everyone else can sit down and enjoy the ride. we get into why thanksgiving is not the place for politics (grow up, pass the mashed potatoes), and the absolutely unhinged trend of “asking your infant for consent before changing their diaper.” spoiler: we have thoughts. we also unpack our christmas tree saga — real vs. fake, which team we’re each on, and why one of us is ready to throw the whole tree lot away. plus: the story of how we literally sawed our bed in half just to get it upstairs, and a whole debate on furniture: should you buy trendy cheap stuff you’ll hate in a year… or pick a style and commit for life? it’s unfiltered, it’s chaotic, it’s very us. press play. 🎄🪚

    13 year anniversary and all things STEAK!

    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 methods we trust, the difference between cooking indoors and outdoors, and the equipment worth investing in if you're serious about doing it well. Consider this the blueprint. And with our 13th wedding anniversary just days away, we close with a conversation about marriage that is honest, generous, and quietly profound. Thirteen years of choosing each other through evolution, ambition, parenthood, and the private challenges people don't see. What we've learned, what's changed us, and the principles we now live by. It's intentional. It's timeless. And it's one of the most meaningful episodes we" aver recorded.

    Life Online (and What Happens When It Breaks)

    This week’s episode is a ride. We’re recapping our F1 weekend, from the best party of the year with Uber One (yes, a live rodeo and Zac Brown Band) to getting completely locked inside our house during a Ring outage. We dive into how dependent we’ve become on tech, our very different takes on living off the grid (Amanda’s ready, Tim’s… not), and whether traveling with kids is actually worth it or just a very expensive chore. We’re also sharing why we’re taking next week off, spoiler: it involves a family trip.

    Episode 11 but celebrating episode 10

    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 finance brain: the hotel investment that paid off big, why we’re not fans of real estate or restaurant investing, and how we’re thinking about long-term wealth (and peace). Basically, it’s a recap, a catch-up, and a financial confessional all rolled into one. Not financial advice, just two people figuring it out and sharing what actually worked for us.

    Evolving Together (Without Losing Yourself): love, logic, and learning to be human in an AI world

    This week we go deep on what actually makes a marriage work. We’re talking about the real stuff — how to move through every stage together: newlyweds, babies, legacy, and learning how to unlearn everything you thought you knew about love. We get into asking for what you need when your needs change, and why keeping score will quietly wreck your relationship. Then we jump into AI. Meta’s new “Vibes” app, Sora, and how tech is about to flip entire industries upside down. Spoiler: everyone’s replaceable. Don’t cancel us. We talk about what this means for creators, careers, and why the human element still wins. We wrap it all up with our signature three-minute fight, because what’s marriage without a little chaos and competition

    Surrogacy, Invest America, Women in the Home, and Why the Big Light is Ruining Amanda’s Life

    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 thought-provoking, this one definitely feels like sitting down with us at the kitchen table.
