Married Couple plays Agree to Disagree *unhinged*

Amy Duggar King — known to many from her time on 19 Kids and Counting — joins Matt & Abby for an honest conversation about her childhood, her relationship with the Duggar family, and the personal choices that shaped her adult life. She talks through the contract that pulled her into reality TV, the influence of IBLP, and what it was really like to grow up adjacent to such a household. Amy also reflects on her complicated relationship with her father, the moment she knew things had to change, and the peace she found in setting boundaries. Her new book ties these experiences together, and she shares what she hopes readers take away from it.
