What was supposed to be a dream bathroom turned into our absolute nightmare. In this episode, Amanda finally shares the full story she never posted on Instagram about what really happened with the master bathroom renovation. It's safe I should of just did this project myself instead of hiring this company.
We open up about how this project pushed us both to our breaking point, what it’s really like partnering with brands behind the scenes, and the lessons we learned the hard way about hiring, communication, and keeping your sanity when everything goes wrong.

We’re diving deep into the impact of screen time on kids — what the research says, what we’ve seen firsthand, and how we’re trying to find balance in our own home. From language delays and sleep struggles to the surprising benefits of moderation, we unpack the scary truth behind screens and how to raise kids who thrive in a digital world. Plus, this week’s Ask the Vet covers everything from ear infections and allergies to TJ’s least favorite dog breeds to see in appointments.
In this episode, Amanda opens up about her lifelong struggle with anxiety and panic attacks and what it’s like navigating that while juggling motherhood, marriage, and two thriving businesses. TJ shares what it was like stepping into a world of anxiety he’d never experienced before, and how it shaped their relationship and parenting. Together, they get honest about perfectionism, fear of failure, and raising confident kids in an imperfect world. It’s raw, real, and a reminder that even in the chaos, you can still be mostly thriving.
Welcome to the debut episode of the Mostly Thriving Podcast! Amanda from @comestayawhile and her husband TJ, a veterinarian and business owner, share the real story behind their marriage, businesses, and chaos with kids in between.
In this episode, they open up about how Come Stay Awhile started in a one-bedroom rental house, TJ’s path from rejection letters to becoming a vet and owning his own veterinary hospital, and how they built two seven-figure businesses while raising two boys and staying (mostly) sane.
Because while it may look like they’re thriving... they’re just mostly thriving and that’s perfectly normal.
