282. Amanda Batula: Summer House Star on Her Breakup, Choosing Herself & Finding Happiness!

Author: Audioboom Studios March 9, 2026 Duration: 1:08:46

This week, Jason is joined by Amanda Batula, one of the most recognizable and enduring personalities from Bravo’s Summer House!
After more than a decade on reality television, Amanda opens up about navigating one of the most public transitions of her life — separating from her longtime partner and redefining who she is both on and off camera. Known for her authenticity and relatability, Amanda shares what it’s like to grow up in the public eye, protect your peace while millions are watching, and learn how to choose yourself without losing compassion for the people who were part of your journey.
Amanda breaks down the realities of filming Summer House and the upcoming spinoff In the City, how she’s handled rumors, internet speculation, and the pressure of sharing personal struggles on television. She also reflects on the lessons she’s learned about relationships, financial independence, and why she believes protecting yourself — whether through prenups, boundaries, or simply trusting your instincts — is more important than ever.
She also opens up about the mental health journey that changed her life, the confidence she’s found in her thirties, and the creative future she’s building through fashion, design, and new opportunities outside reality TV. From career reinvention to embracing change, Amanda shares the mindset that helped her move forward and prioritize happiness.
Amanda reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!
