Description
Drink More Water isn’t a self-help podcast.
It’s a conversation you wish you were in.
Hosted by Amanda Adams, this show is where culture, controversy, career plot twists, big feelings, and bold opinions collide — with a side of life advice (served in 3 words or less).
Each week, Amanda sits down with founders, creatives, executives, activists, artists, and people who’ve lived a little — and aren’t afraid to talk about it. From locker room culture to layoffs, reinventions to relationships, community to calling people out (lovingly… or not), nothing is off limits.
It’s smart.
It’s fiery.
It’s funny.
It’s unfiltered.
You’ll laugh.
You might get uncomfortable.
You’ll definitely think.
And at the end of every episode, we distill it all down to one simple ritual:
Life advice in 3 words or less.
Because sometimes the most powerful truths don’t need a TED Talk.
Pull up a chair.
Pour something sparkling.
Join the conversation.
This isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about being awake, aware, and fully in it.
Drink more water. 💧

A conversation on burnout, reinvention, confidence, community, and the brave decisions that build the life you actually want. What if asking one powerful question could change your entire life? In this deeply inspiring and wildly honest episode, Amanda Adams sits down with her longtime friend — creative powerhouse, coach, and yacht-retreat founder Tiffany Napper — to talk about burnout, reinvention, career pivots, grief, feminine confidence, and what it really means to build a life that feels...
This episode starts with a beard and ends with us going completely unscripted after the podcast ends. And we kept the mics and cameras rolling! Megan Gray is the co-founder of Fable Beard Co. and Fable Beauty, brands she and her husband built after she complained that his beard products smelled terrible. That one moment sparked an idea that turned into a thriving business. And it was clear to me how this idea became a reality because after a few minutes with Megan, our conversation went fro...
Season 2 is here — and we’re coming in hot. In this episode, I sit down with Marcia Masulla — marketing guru, agency owner, activist, political force, and what I lovingly call a “Happy Warrior.” We start with the USA men’s hockey locker room controversy and why it struck such a nerve. Because it wasn’t about hockey. It wasn’t about men vs. women in sports. It was about culture. About what’s normalized. About what women are expected to tolerate. And then we go deeper. We talk about being laid ...
For the final episode of my first season of Drink More Water, I had to go back to what is quite possibly my favorite episode of 2025. I had a lot of favorites, but this is one that I revisit often when I need life advice. Jason Burke built a jerky and meat snacks business from his kitchen counter...and he turned it into a national brand with shelf space in over 10,000 stores nationwide. And he's just getting started. So how did he do it? He tells us in this conversation. He shares his wins, ...
In this re-release of Drink More Water, I sit down with Megan Conner, a running coach and author of "I Am Not a Runner," to talk about what it really means to try something new when you don’t see yourself as “that kind of person.” In honor of Lunar New Year and the Year of the Fire Horse, this conversation feels more relevant than ever. Fire Horse energy is bold, independent, and a little fearless — and Megan’s journey embodies exactly that. She didn’t grow up identifying as a runner. She s...
This one feels like sunshine. Anna Watson Carl grew up around a bright yellow kitchen table where everyone was welcome — neighbors, friends, family, stories, and second helpings. Years later, that same table became a cookbook, a cross-country Kickstarter tour, and eventually The Yellow Table Cafe in East Nashville. But this isn’t just a conversation about crepes and lattes. It’s about chasing a 20-year dream. It’s about hauling props up six flights of stairs because you believe in somethin...
Why are so many women anxious about money? And more importantly, how do we change that? In this powerful episode, I sit down with Lauren Reed Williams, co-founder of Wealth of a Woman, to talk about why the #1 word women use to describe money is anxious — and how we can shift that narrative starting now. For too long, money has been taboo. We weren’t taught how to talk about it, negotiate it, invest it, or define it for ourselves. Lauren, her co-founder Teresa J.W. Bailey, and the tea...
Burnout is everywhere right now. The world feels heavy. Work is demanding. Our nervous systems are tired. And somehow, we’re still expected to “practice mindfulness” like we have unlimited time, energy, and silence. In this episode of Drink More Water, Amanda sits down with meditation, mindfulness, and movement leader Rosa Castaño for some much-needed soft advice for stressful times — and a more realistic approach to self-care: being semi-mindful. Not perfect. Not zen 24/7. Just present enoug...
Megan Barry knows what it means to have your life split into before and after. In 2015, she became the first woman elected Mayor of Nashville — a milestone moment and the realization of a lifelong dream. A few years later, she resigned after an affair with a colleague became public, a scandal that played out on a national stage. But that wasn’t her worst day. Not even close. Megan also endured the unimaginable: losing her son to a drug overdose. Grief, public judgment, shame, and heartbreak c...
Anastasia Brown is one of the most influential women in the Nashville music industry. She discovered Keith Urban and worked with legends like Peter Frampton, Leon Russell, and Sting. She later became a pioneer in Hollywood, serving as a music supervisor on Emmy-winning film and television projects, including Steven Spielberg’s miniseries Taken and the iconic, music-driven film August Rush. But this episode goes far beyond her career. In a heartbreaking period of her life, Anastasia lost her s...
Lauren Ruth Martin thought she would be a radio deejay...not a therapist. But either way, she was clearly sent here to help us all manage burnout, perfectionism, and eldest-daughter energy. And those planners we all buy every year? It's time to stop because they're stressing us out! But don't worry -- Lauren has us covered with the BEST planner on the planet! Lauren comes in with so much real-life advice on this episode! Whether you're tired of being called flaky, trying to figure out how to ...
It takes more than luck to make it in the music business. It’s an industry that will knock you down far more than it will lift you up. But Barrett Baber isn’t one to stay down for long. From surviving a plane crash, to having the courage to leave a job he hated — and then leaving a job he loved to bet on himself on The Voice — Barrett has built a career by doing one thing, over and over again: showing up. Now a certified platinum songwriter, including co-writing “Nothing On You” for Cody John...
Melissa Grace always wanted to be a writer. But for years, she believed writer was a title reserved for extraordinary people — and she thought she was ordinary. So she did what many of us do. She pursued other paths. Tried different things. Kept her dream quietly on the shelf. Then 2020 arrived. Grief, isolation, and the impending loss of her grandmother changed everything. Needing somewhere to put her energy — and her heart — Melissa started writing. Fast forward to today, and Melissa Grace ...
This episode is fashion therapy with a side of champagne. Amanda sits down with Kristen, founder of Ensemble — the resale boutique everyone in Charleston and Nashville is obsessed with (and Austin, you’re next). They talk dressing-room confidence, the magic of letting someone else pull looks for you, and why the best outfits — and the best life decisions — start with “just try it on.” If you’ve ever wished someone would tell you which jeans actually fit, how to wear sequins without fear, or h...
When Ariel Bunch created Tini Baby, she didn't just start another mobile bar business -- she created a brand and an experience that you can't help but notice! When industry advisors told her not to use real glassware, she said, "Thanks for the advice," and found a way to keep her dream of elevated experiences alive! And she isn't shy about how AI tools like ChatGPT have helped her up her game...because she's using every advantage she can to take her business to the next level. This episode i...
Welcome to a brand new season of the newly titled Drink More Water — the advice show for people who don’t really want advice but love a good conversation. To celebrate the launch, Amanda sits down with her podcast producers, Jack and Zach from The Podcast House, and the brilliant cocktail creator Ariel from Tini Baby. Together, they mix up a festive peppermint espresso martini and share some laughs and conversation to kick off a cozy, high-energy season! It’s warm, friendly, and exactly the...
When Amanda took Brad Williams’ leadership astrology assessment, everything clicked: past conflicts, corporate frustrations, creative strengths, and why she’s impulsively moved across the world and around the US multiple times. Amanda and Brad break down Amanda's assessment results, including the growth challenges she never wanted to admit out loud and why this framework could have saved her years of corporate frustration. Brad joins the show to break down why astrology isn’t about “what’s go...
In 2019, my health was a mess. I couldn't figure it out. Doctors couldn't figure it out. I started piecing things together, and with the help of a Facebook group (Breast Implant Illness and Healing by Nicole), I thought my health issues might be due to Breast Implant Illness. Thanks to the other women who had spoken highly of Dr. Tarola, I made an appointment with Tarola Plastic Surgery. This episode is my journey with BII, Dr. Tarola's experience with patient success stories after he remove...
Publix said yes. The farmer’s market said no. Jason Burke said “no” isn’t an option. Before “protein” became the buzzword of 2025, Jason was making beef jerky in his kitchen -- one dehydrator at a time. Today, New Primal is a nationally recognized clean protein brand found in over 10,000 stores. Amanda Adams first found Jason on LinkedIn and became an instant super fan. In this episode, they unpack the story of grit, growth, and the power of saying yes to yourself even when others say no. ...
