Former Bachelor Nation fan favorite Amanda Stanton joins Between Us Moms for a candid conversation about motherhood, marriage, and the unexpected path that changed her life.
Amanda opens up about how appearing on The Bachelor shifted her future even though her older daughters barely remember she was ever on the show. She reveals why she hasn’t watched the franchise for years, why she plans to tune in for the upcoming season starring Taylor Frankie Paul, and why she believes the series was “due to switch something up.”
The mom of three also gets refreshingly honest about parenting teenagers, navigating middle school drama, and the emotional challenge of watching your kids go through real-life social struggles. Amanda shares the advice she gives her daughters when they feel left out — and why she sometimes gets more upset than they do.
