    This week on The Comeback Era, we’re sitting down with OG influencer and Bachelor Nation favorite Amanda Stanton for an honest conversation about love, motherhood, heartbreak, and finding happiness on the other side of life's unexpected turns.

    From getting married and becoming a mom at a young age to leaving a toxic marriage and navigating life as a single mother, Amanda opens up about the experiences that shaped her long before America watched her fall in love on The Bachelor.

    We're getting the behind-the-scenes scoop on her time on The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise, what it's really like to date on national television, and how she navigated co-parenting, raising two daughters, and building a successful career as a content creator in the public eye.

    Amanda also shares how she found unexpected love, welcomed another baby, and created a beautiful new chapter for her family. We dive into parenting styles, setting boundaries, enforcing rules with our children, balancing motherhood with a career, and learning what truly matters along the way.

    From young love and public heartbreak to blended families and second chances, Amanda's story is a reminder that sometimes your happily ever after looks nothing like you originally imagined.

    This episode is full of girl talk, relatable motherhood moments, lessons learned, and a little Bachelor Nation nostalgia. You won't want to miss it!

  • When the Producer Became the Story: Love, Loss & Walking Away - Part 2

    In Part 2 of our conversation with former Bachelor producer Julie LaPlaca, we go where the Bachelor franchise rarely lets us go: behind the emotional curtain.

    Julie opens up about falling in love with a cast member, what that experience taught her about herself, the psychology of producing relationships, and the healing journey that followed.

    We talk about what happens when the person creating everyone else’s love story suddenly finds herself living one, how she navigated the fallout, and why she ultimately made the incredibly difficult decision to walk away from a dream career.

    We ask the questions we know Bachelor Nation has wanted answered—and Julie doesn’t hold back.

    From the highest levels of Bachelor production to heartbreak, self-discovery, healing, and starting over, this is the story of what happens when you stop producing everyone else’s love story and finally start writing your own.

    Her book, The Love Producer, is out now. ❤️‍🩹

  • The Love Producer: What REALLY Happens Behind the Bachelor - Part 1

    Julie LaPlaca spent years behind the scenes of Bachelor Nation—starting at the bottom and eventually becoming the lead producer responsible for shaping the story we watched unfold on screen.

    In Part 1, Julie pulls back the curtain on what it actually means to be a Bachelor producer, the psychology behind producing love stories, how producers work with the lead and contestants, and what audiences never see when the cameras stop rolling.

    She takes us through her journey from getting her start on The Bachelor to becoming one of the show’s main producers—and answers the questions we’ve ALL wondered about what really happens behind the scenes.

    And then… things get personal.

    Julie recently released her book, The Love Producer, and in this two-part conversation, she opens up about falling for one of the cast members while working on the show, the complicated reality of mixing your personal life with a job built around producing romance, and the moment she realized her own love story was changing everything.

    This is the Bachelor conversation you’ve been waiting for. 💘

    The Love Producer is out now.

  • Divorce: Moving On Doesn't Mean Pretending It Didn't Happen | Part 3

    We talk about something so many women struggle with: the difference between moving on and healing.

    We answer more of your questions, talk about why some women stay in marriages far longer than they should because they believe “sacrificial marriage” means sacrificing themselves, and discuss what it looks like to finally choose yourself, rebuild your identity, and move forward without carrying the past into your future.

    We also want to address the people telling us to “move on.”

    We have.

    Moving on doesn’t mean pretending something didn’t happen. It doesn’t mean you can’t talk about what you survived. And healing doesn’t happen on someone else’s timeline.

    Sometimes telling your story is part of letting it go.

    But after this episode, we’re ready to let this chapter stay where it belongs — in the past. We’ve answered the questions, shared our experiences, and said what we needed to say.

    Now we’re looking forward to what’s next… and to our next guests, conversations, and chapters. 🤍

  • The Episode You've Been Waiting For: Why I Chose Divorce | Part 1

    Welcome to the beginning of Kayla's official comeback era.

    This is the episode so many of you have been waiting for.

    We actually filmed this back in November 2025, before so much of our lives continued to unfold. Because of that, there will be an updated Part 2 where I'll share everything that's happened since and answer many of the questions you've been asking.

    In Part 1, I'm sharing the story behind my decision to leave a marriage of nearly 10 years. We talk openly about infidelity, addiction, drug use, the reality of being a stay-at-home mom while your husband pursues his dreams, feeling like a married single mom, and the countless highs and lows that ultimately led me to choose a different future for myself and my children.

    This episode isn't about blaming or tearing anyone down. It's about telling my story honestly, sharing what I experienced, and hopefully helping someone else feel less alone.

    Throughout our marriage, one thing never changed: we both wanted the best for our children. As parents, we make choices we hope will give them the healthiest, happiest future possible. For me, that meant choosing healing, growth, and becoming the best version of myself. It also meant believing that our children deserve to see relationships built on love, respect, honesty, and peace.

    If you're walking through heartbreak, divorce, addiction, betrayal, or wondering whether you're strong enough to start over, I hope this reminds you that you're not alone. There is life on the other side, and there is hope.

    Thank you for trusting me with my story. ❤️
