They certainly They attach to the caring, loving God loving folks and reeel them in. Shame on the pair of them Why dont they get someone like groomer ..Colleeen Ballinger on ?
I really love how Joy says that her mom has to CHOOSE to be patient, loving and kind. That's so hard with being a parent, your emotions really get the best of you.
I love Joy. She is so amazing. I'm also glad to see Austin so candid. I always thought he seemed cold, but I think that that was just him remaining guarded from saying or doing the wrong thing. What a nice couple. I am always amazed that the duggar women self reflect so well.
I don’t blame him from the peoples comment’s on their videos. People always bully him, they like Derrick better…blah blah blah. He’s been nothing but loving and supportive of Joy in every video. It’s sad people don’t care that it’s small snippets of peoples lives.
I love how you always let your guests speak. It’s probably easy to feel like you have to talk often to show that you’re listening, but this is soo much better!
Yes I will say this is something they’re really good at! So many podcasters think they need to fill in every second of the episode and they’re constantly saying “mmmh” or just thinking of the next questions and it gets in the way but I’m glad they just listen and then take a moment to follow up the questions!
Me too! They are never talking over their guests. Having two conversations going at the same time,it’s so annoying when they do that because you can’t understand anything they said. So the listeners missed out on all of it. They are excellent at letting them speak until they are done. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone on here and I watch a lot of podcasts that do it as well as Matt and Abby do. It just shows are interested in listening to what their guests have to say so that we know them better.
I love Joy and Austin and really miss them posting on youtube. Thanks for interviewing them and sharing. I really like that they touched on depression and cyber bullying, hopefully it opened a lot of people's eyes.
Excellent interview!! I really appreciate Joy being so open about her postpartum struggles. As hard & painful as it was it is an amazing gift to all of us to benefit from. She not only shared her pain, she gave a roadmap on how to support someone going through it. Thank you Joy & Austin!!
This has to be one of your absolute BEST presentations ever! I know Joy and Austin try not to look at responses to their videos, etc. However, I think you have done so much to present both of them ( and especially Joy) in a positive light. You gave them an opportunity to show who they really are. I am so happy to see this side of both Joy and Austin. Thank you for helping these families to show how they really are and to help them get lut from u derthe negative stigma of being a Duggar! Excellent, excellent, excellent!
Joy I’ve missed your TH-cam channels but I am so happy you have taken time for yourself, your family, and own life. I cannot tell you how much your openness has blessed me at this time in my life. God bless y’all ✝️🩷
This was truly a powerful conversation. I ve known this lovely couple from their vlog, saw their 3 beautiful children come into the world and witness their personalities develop . I love them all and miss them, and wish them all the happiness in the world. Blessings to you all for this wonderful interview. 🙏❤️🙏❤️
This was SUCH a beautiful episode!! So nice to hear the truth out of their own mouths and such grace and humility they have. Thank you for having Joy and Austin on what a sweet family!! 🥰
Oh man, I feel for Joy’s friend when she said she wished her dad cared who she dated. That was me, my dad didn’t talk to guys I dated, he didn’t tell me I was worthy of a good man. That is so important. The Duggar girls are blessed with parents who did try to help their children the best they could.
Matt and Abby, I have seen quite a few of your podcasts so far and I am impressed by how genuine and open you are as interviewers or facilitators. You are naturals, you are welcoming and you have a way a putting everyone at ease. The questions come naturally to you because you are clearly interested in your guests’ life stories. Congratulations! Well done!
This was a GREAT episode! I really love seeing this side of Austin open and talking about these things. This episode really made me reflect on my life as someone who struggles with mental health and has since childhood how lucky I am to have my husband who is so patient with me and never judges me even though it's so foreign to him.
This podcast was the best I have ever seen you do. What amazing people and amazing couple 💖her openness and raw emotion was so humanizing and I think 99%of all moms can relate totally.
I never talked about my childhood life because god has been with me since I was little boy and now thinking on this episode that I just watch it really got me. Thank you joy Duggar for talking about this
Just a reminder to anyone in the comments that mental health medication is NOT just for when it turns into a “life or death situation”. PLEASE do not put off getting medical help, especially if that’s what you and a doctor decide can help you feel better.
I know medications aren’t right for everyone, and there’s many other ways to get help. BUT just remember getting medical help for a medical issue doesn’t need to wait until it’s “life or death”.
Joy is so BEAUTIFUL 😍 Inside ❤️ and Out. I am a 63 yrs old Mama and I have ALWAYS seen her as refreshingly genuine...that speaks VOLUMES, as to how humble she is. Joy...u R Loved by so very many and you have an outstanding HUSBAND❣️ Gorgeous, Lively Children too 😊
Thank you, Joy, for being so open and real about what you have walked through. There are so many women that go through this alone and don't feel they can trust anyone. You are amazing parents, not perfect because there is no such thing. Bless your family. -Tammy
Joy...you are not alone! Just know that you have done everything right with the right hard. God’s got you and your sweet family! Holding you up in prayer.
I’m a FTM and had PPD so badly. Thank you for opening up. It made me feel less alone. It feels like I’m out of it now, but for months it was horrible. Thank you for sharing
Joy has been my favorite Duggar from the start of the Duggar show. I’m an old lady and have really enjoyed both Joy and Austin. I was very sad when they quit TH-cam but totally understand why they did. This has been one of your best episodes ever! Thank you for having them on. Please let them know they are missed and no judgement from this old lady.💕
I really enjoyed listening to Joy and Austin in this light. I didn’t have a very good impression of them, until now. It’s just nice that they finally came out to share their story. I see their genuineness and I hear their good hearts. Thank you for this interview. 💞
I am so grateful for the posture you've had when interviewing the three sets of Dugger daughters with their husbands. When Joy cried, I cried. She is such a sweet soul. I pray she has more peace than ever.
Fantastic interview, joy and austin are so candid, open and honest. Such a loving couple. Joys openess about depression will help so many going through it now. Its nice to hear everything from there perspective.
I love seeing Austin in this setting and relaxed. Several years back when he was first introduced to us on the show, I really wasn't sure what to think of him. He did seem kind of cold and it made me question if he was a good partner for Joy - LOL - which is so silly in retrospect! We can see here how wonderfully supportive he is of Joy. He was brought up well.
All of the Duggar siblings will benefit from Jill and Derricks taking a firm, definitive and open stance for what was good for their family. The first child is the brave one and blazes a trail that makes it easy for the rest. Michelle Duggar had modesty standards as she did not walk around naked and was not promiscuous. She just did not have Gothard standards.
Joy, I think you're very brave. Thank you for sharing your struggles as a mom and more specifically, your recovery. Postpartum depression is so real. God bless you and Austin
This is the most honest ive seen a duggar couple be. Usually they do a PR filtered version when describing how they grew up. Here theyre both admitted that the rules were kind of enforced for girls and not so much for boys, that they had to ask their dad before going to see if their boyfriend is okay after a car wreck , brothers telling tales to their dad about arm linking etc But they were still respectful and saying it wasnt what we will do but were not mad about it .
joy you are so brave for talking about such intimate and painful things. As someone who suffers from depression, taking that first step is so scary, it makes it real. Be kind to yourself, you are strong. Working with a counselor and your doctor is such a great step. And please know, that when you hit rock bottom that you can only go up, and every day can get better, and be kind to yourself if you have sadder days, you are worth being here, you weren't placed on this world by accident. Lots of love to you and your little family.
Ok, I was almost in tears hearing joy talk about how her mom chose not to yell or scream. And then her honesty saying it’s been hard for her. It’s SO hard, but I am inspired now to try my hardest! Parenting is hard!
Wow, so good to hear. I had a very similar upbringing, 12 kids, lots of trauma. I definitely had to find Christ on my own as an adult, putting aside what I was raised with. I had a dark dark period when my 3rd child started exhibiting very severe behavioral issues part of autism. She would hurt herself, smeared her poop everywhere everyday and didn’t speak at all. I was in tears bathing her and cleaning poop from her body after washing the walls and carpet, brushing her teeth since she would lick her hands and I was just broken. I hugged her tight and felt so much love. I felt this thought of “this is how much I love you”. Dirty and covered with sin and I love you so much. I bawled after that, I definitely felt the Holy Spirit talking to me. Since then it changed my viewpoint of my daughter and of myself. He loves me so much, as the perfect Father loving me even though I’m stuck in sin or struggle with various things.
GREAT time of sharing!! There are MANY of us out here that HIGHLY invested in your family emotionally. it is a TRUE BLESSING to know how to pray for you!! It is reality you do not know those that watched you going up, but we feel connected to you!! Joy I'm Soo thankful to hear you are on your healing journey after Sweet Gunners birth!! Soo many women STRUGGLE DEEPLY in silence, GREAT wisdom and LOVE from your BELOVED to help you on this journey!! YOU JOY just helped Many a Mommas out there to NOT have SHAME for "not having it all together"... HONESTLY NO ONE DOES!!! You are BEYOND PRECIOUS!!! 🩷🙏🩷
I love Joy and also she is best friends with my favourite Bates kid too 😂 Carlin Bates now Carlin Stewart and her husband should be on here, they are hilarious!
@@alanaisaiah3693 YES! Carlin and Evan should be on here. They could talk about Carlins health issues, being raised with 18 siblings, and owning a Boutique. I WOULD LOVE THAT EPISODE!!!!!
Joy, you're such a breath of fresh air, and your vulnerability is so powerful because it gives others the encouragement and the power to see that isolation is a tool of the enemy and there is freedom in honesty!
Thank you for being willing to share your struggles Joy Anna! We help others more when we share that life is not perfect, we all go through things, but God will bring you through on the other side of it!
I never heard about Jana getting married till it was said and done. I was so shocked I thought it was a joke or prank. But was so happy for her once I realized it was true. Thank you so much for having Joy and Austin on the podcast. I have been watching and keeping up with them for years. It gives people a more realistic view of who this family really is and what good, genuine people they are.
Jana was smart to keep quiet about it. After it was a done deal, she certainly deserves to profit from her notoriety considering Jim-Bob never gave them much for the episodes they participated in and expected her to remain obedient to him always. She's had her struggles and owes us nothing.
Joy you are so brave! I hope you help a lot of women with this testimony! You are a fighter ❤ and you two love each other so much,and are supportive of each other. ❤
Joy and Austin you are both so brave to talk about your lives and some of the hard things you have been through. You can be guaranteed that someone needed to hear it and you have helped them. Joy you are so sweet, strong and Austin you are an amazing, supportive husband.
Thank You for having unplanned Podcast Thank You Joy and Austin for sharing your story I am sure you have helped someone out there I really enjoyed this podcast
I’m so glad you had Joy and Austin on for such an honest and authentic interview. I really enjoyed listening to their story and having common myths debunked.
I really enjoyed this podcast. Joy and Austin are so genuine and amazing together. I loved watching their TH-cam channel to see what fun activities they were up to with their kids.
I was so freaking excited when i saw Joy and Austin in the thumbnail. When they announced they were taking a break from their youtube channel, i was genuinely sad about it. I dont think I've ever gotten sad about a youtuber not uploading anymore, but them leaving youtube actually sucked, i really enjoyed their videos. I was just excited to see them again.
I am so glad she spoke on post-partum depression, it is so real - and you just seem lost. I had two babies back to back (11 months apart) and I knew that I was deficient in vitamins and minerals. I think my second baby took what little I had left, leaving me with barely anything.
The story about the accident was crazy. Her 1st thought was to call her father instead of just running over there?! Then her dad even entertains what the brother said?! She should have equally have been annoyed with her dad as she was with her brother.
Thank you Joy for sharing your heart ❤️. I’m sure you are helping so many people being honest with your heart. God bless you & your family. You will always have our support!!
Thank you Joy and Austin for sharing such a real part of your lives. I feel you both were so relaxed and relatable as you shared some of your your vulnerabilities. You are both such genuine and likable people!!
Sooo excited for this episode!!! Watching them grow up and being able to see their point of view and everything is amazing. Thank you guys for this interview!
Joy- you don’t read comments…so this is for another woman reading this and thinking postpartum depression/anxiety has anything to do with not taking care of yourself enough during pregnancy..it is not your fault. There’s no reason some women experience this and some don’t, but it’s not your fault! There’s nothing you can do to prevent how your brain is going to respond to after birth. That hurts my heart to hear joy think it’s something she did or could do to prevent…and studies show that it squally increases in intensity after each birth. I had it so bad after my first and was wracked with so much guilt, I don’t want anyone else feeling that way!
We all think that, right? If something happens to us health-wise, we believe that there’s something we did. Maybe we hope that there is because then we can control it.
thank you so much joy for opening up, your words really hit home and it’s comforting knowing other mommas feel this way. i really needed too hear this podcast today, i’ve been praying hard lately. 🫶🏻🥺💕
I just love how you young couples came from wholesome, healthy families and have great marriages. Not all of us did and it's so inspiring for other young people.
Joy, u r truly a gem!!! A pure heart to listen to, watching u pour your ideas of what life should be!!! U r knocking it out with Austin by your side!! Keep it up!!
I definitely can relate to the dug fam. I was in a girls home in Missouri that taught us girls it’s not ok to wear shorts/pants, our dresses had to be to our ankles, we wore bonnets, and never saw tv or the internet, no makeup, we had no sense of the world! Crazy how listening to the stories brings back so many memories
I throughly enjoyed this episode with Joy and Austin and being a fan of them and their family it was interesting to here real talk and I commend Austin for not wanting to mask the depression problem but to find a solution for it. I feel too many people just take the meds only to get worse.
Great episode! I’d love to see some Bates couples on since they grew up like the Duggars and they seem more mainstream so to speak. Or Duggar and Bates girls together. I’d love to see Carlin and Joy on together.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the episode. Joy and Austin are so refreshing. I usually don't listen to podcasts, but this my all-time favorite. God bless you all.
Fun fact - my family has a friend that works at the church Joy and Austin got married at. We didn’t know the wedding was happening and my mom stopped by during set up & rehearsal to see our friend. When she walked in, she was met by security and escorted to the office and then back to the parking lot when she found out our friend was out of the office at the time. She left saying “Something must be going on there, or maybe that church has tight security. They were nice but I’ve never seen that at a church before.” Then photos of their wedding came out and my mom realized that, based on the decorations, the reason she was met by security that day when she stopped by the church was because they were getting ready for Joy and Austin’s wedding 🙈 She’s not a creep! But she probably looked like it that day and we’ve laughed about it ever since 🤦🏻♀️😂
Joy was so young young when she got married. Hardly time to grow up. No formal education. She has come a long way. GOOD for you for not jumping on medication. And working it out.
Great interview. It changed my perspective on the extended Duggar family. I have been influenced by headlines and media. I understand now, why they have suspended their TH-cam videos for a while.
Postpartum is horrible honey I’m 55 but back in the day when I had it no one could understand. It’s literally like going through hell! Joy you have my respect. I’m so grateful my daughters didn’t get it.
I loved this interview. I love Joy and watched their youtube channel. I like Austin more after this. I guess it's getting to know him better. Joy looks great.
I love all the duggars! Amazing girls and boys! Joy was so close to Jill growing up made me sad she did not mention her or her book at all. I hope the girls can just be close like before, all families go through stuff no one is perfect
I’ve watched you all from the beginning of your show, and love you all. No one has the right to judge you since they haven’t walked in your shoes. I’ve stuck up for you and your family when others take you apart by the seams. I can’t imagine going through life especially with your brother’s ordeal, and people need to understand what happened to him is not your fault! I love seeing your family thrive and love seeing your kids enjoying life with you all. Bless you and Austin, and your sweet family.

Matt and Abby out here collecting Duggars like Pokémon. I love seeing their family story from each one’s perspective. Xoxo
Gotta catch em all
They did @@monicaescobedo5461
Jana and Stephen will break the internet!!
They certainly They attach to the caring, loving God loving folks and reeel them in. Shame on the pair of them Why dont they get someone like groomer ..Colleeen Ballinger on ?
How many duggars have the had
Would love to see Jana on here next! Talking about falling in love and her wedding. Who agrees??? 👇🏼👇🏼
Yes!!
YES!!
I really love how Joy says that her mom has to CHOOSE to be patient, loving and kind. That's so hard with being a parent, your emotions really get the best of you.
Yes I agree, it is so hard! That was really powerful and I needed to hear that!
Joy is such an articulate, wise, and brave young woman. I appreciate her candidness here. Great interview.
I really love Austin! He seems very supportive and he doesn’t talk over Joy like some of the others do.
love Austin
Oh, like Jeremy does with jinger
I love Joy. She is so amazing. I'm also glad to see Austin so candid. I always thought he seemed cold, but I think that that was just him remaining guarded from saying or doing the wrong thing. What a nice couple. I am always amazed that the duggar women self reflect so well.
I think they felt like they had to with you know everything
I don’t blame him from the peoples comment’s on their videos. People always bully him, they like Derrick better…blah blah blah. He’s been nothing but loving and supportive of Joy in every video. It’s sad people don’t care that it’s small snippets of peoples lives.
I thought the same at one time. So glad to see him more relaxed
I love how you always let your guests speak. It’s probably easy to feel like you have to talk often to show that you’re listening, but this is soo much better!
Yes I will say this is something they’re really good at! So many podcasters think they need to fill in every second of the episode and they’re constantly saying “mmmh” or just thinking of the next questions and it gets in the way but I’m glad they just listen and then take a moment to follow up the questions!
Plus we get more tea this way lol

Joy is a kind soul. Love listening to her talk, she expresses herself so sweetly. She deserves the best.
Wow Joy’s vulnerability is so needed for so many people. Grateful for her presence on this platform

Joy I’ve missed your TH-cam channels but I am so happy you have taken time for yourself, your family, and own life. I cannot tell you how much your openness has blessed me at this time in my life. God bless y’all ✝️🩷
This was truly a powerful conversation. I ve known this lovely couple from their vlog, saw their 3 beautiful children come into the world and witness their personalities develop . I love them all and miss them, and wish them all the happiness in the world. Blessings to you all for this wonderful interview. 🙏❤️🙏❤️
This was SUCH a beautiful episode!! So nice to hear the truth out of their own mouths and such grace and humility they have. Thank you for having Joy and Austin on what a sweet family!! 🥰
Oh how I love Joy and her spunky barefoot self. I also love how open and honest she is it makes her so much more relatable
Oh man, I feel for Joy’s friend when she said she wished her dad cared who she dated. That was me, my dad didn’t talk to guys I dated, he didn’t tell me I was worthy of a good man. That is so important. The Duggar girls are blessed with parents who did try to help their children the best they could.
Love this!!! Just interview all the Duggars! I am here for it. I love hearing all of their different perspectives.
Except for Josh. But, I would love to see where Ana is at this point in her life.
@@jenjen81285yes oh my gosh. NO JOSH. But would LOVE to hear from Anna. Agree with you 💯

This was a GREAT episode! I really love seeing this side of Austin open and talking about these things. This episode really made me reflect on my life as someone who struggles with mental health and has since childhood how lucky I am to have my husband who is so patient with me and never judges me even though it's so foreign to him.
This podcast was the best I have ever seen you do. What amazing people and amazing couple 💖her openness and raw emotion was so humanizing and I think 99%of all moms can relate totally.
I never talked about my childhood life because god has been with me since I was little boy and now thinking on this episode that I just watch it really got me. Thank you joy Duggar for talking about this
Just a reminder to anyone in the comments that mental health medication is NOT just for when it turns into a “life or death situation”. PLEASE do not put off getting medical help, especially if that’s what you and a doctor decide can help you feel better.
I know medications aren’t right for everyone, and there’s many other ways to get help. BUT just remember getting medical help for a medical issue doesn’t need to wait until it’s “life or death”.
Joy is so BEAUTIFUL 😍 Inside ❤️ and Out.
I am a 63 yrs old Mama and I have ALWAYS seen her as refreshingly genuine...that speaks VOLUMES, as to how humble she is. Joy...u R Loved by so very many and you have an outstanding HUSBAND❣️ Gorgeous, Lively Children too 😊
Thank you, Joy, for being so open and real about what you have walked through. There are so many women that go through this alone and don't feel they can trust anyone. You are amazing parents, not perfect because there is no such thing. Bless your family.

Thank you so much for having Joy and Austin on the podcast. I have been watching and keeping up with them for years. It gives people a more realistic view of who this family really is and what good, genuine people they are.
Jana was smart to keep quiet about it. After it was a done deal, she certainly deserves to profit from her notoriety considering Jim-Bob never gave them much for the episodes they participated in and expected her to remain obedient to him always. She's had her struggles and owes us nothing.
Joy you are so brave! I hope you help a lot of women with this testimony! You are a fighter ❤ and you two love each other so much,and are supportive of each other. ❤
Joy and Austin you are both so brave to talk about your lives and some of the hard things you have been through. You can be guaranteed that someone needed to hear it and you have helped them. Joy you are so sweet, strong and Austin you are an amazing, supportive husband.
Thank You for having unplanned Podcast Thank You Joy and Austin for sharing your story I am sure you have helped someone out there I really enjoyed this podcast
I’m so glad you had Joy and Austin on for such an honest and authentic interview. I really enjoyed listening to their story and having common myths debunked.
I just love Joy and Austin...watching this makes me miss their videos. I could've watched you all talk all day. ❤
I really enjoyed this podcast. Joy and Austin are so genuine and amazing together. I loved watching their TH-cam channel to see what fun activities they were up to with their kids.
I was so freaking excited when i saw Joy and Austin in the thumbnail. When they announced they were taking a break from their youtube channel, i was genuinely sad about it. I dont think I've ever gotten sad about a youtuber not uploading anymore, but them leaving youtube actually sucked, i really enjoyed their videos. I was just excited to see them again.
I am so glad she spoke on post-partum depression, it is so real - and you just seem lost. I had two babies back to back (11 months apart) and I knew that I was deficient in vitamins and minerals. I think my second baby took what little I had left, leaving me with barely anything.
Oh Joy. I knew there was a reason your TH-cam stopped. 😢 I hope you feel better soon and you share you’re life with us again. ❤
The story about the accident was crazy. Her 1st thought was to call her father instead of just running over there?! Then her dad even entertains what the brother said?! She should have equally have been annoyed with her dad as she was with her brother.
37:50 Shocking how even after a car wreck where Austin could died they didn't even let Joy grab his arm
Her parents are legalists. There's no grey or grace in legalism
@@cbpaddingtonbear2606 I know, but looking at it is CRAZY
Ahh the single dad podcast and this one with Joy😢… I’ve been bawling 😭.. great podcast love Joy and Austin.
Were they on another podcast?

cindy was talking about the podcast matt and abby did last week with taylor odlozil and now this one... hope this helps ☺️
Thank you Joy for sharing your heart ❤️. I’m sure you are helping so many people being honest with your heart. God bless you & your family. You will always have our support!!
I feel like I grew up with Joy. We’re about the same age. I’m so glad to see these women coming out and talking about their experiences.
Thank you Joy and Austin for sharing such a real part of your lives. I feel you both were so relaxed and relatable as you shared some of your your vulnerabilities. You are both such genuine and likable people!!
Sooo excited for this episode!!! Watching them grow up and being able to see their point of view and everything is amazing. Thank you guys for this interview!
Joy- you don’t read comments…so this is for another woman reading this and thinking postpartum depression/anxiety has anything to do with not taking care of yourself enough during pregnancy..it is not your fault. There’s no reason some women experience this and some don’t, but it’s not your fault! There’s nothing you can do to prevent how your brain is going to respond to after birth. That hurts my heart to hear joy think it’s something she did or could do to prevent…and studies show that it squally increases in intensity after each birth. I had it so bad after my first and was wracked with so much guilt, I don’t want anyone else feeling that way!
Beautiful ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
It’s also connected to childhood trauma. Not saying that’s always there, but it’s a high correlation.
Actually she's not wrong that it can often manifest from complete depletion including nutritionally.
We all think that, right? If something happens to us health-wise, we believe that there’s something we did. Maybe we hope that there is because then we can control it.
thank you so much joy for opening up, your words really hit home and it’s comforting knowing other mommas feel this way. i really needed too hear this podcast today, i’ve been praying hard lately. 🫶🏻🥺💕
I’ve always seen Joy as genuine and resilient. Love their channel and this interview.
I just love how you young couples came from wholesome, healthy families and have great marriages. Not all of us did and it's so inspiring for other young people.
Wow, Joy. I'm sure your honesty will help other moms. God bless.
❤ Joy and Austin are such great examples of how to work through all things that relationships face. So appreciative of their vulnerability.
Just a few minutes in and this is already one of my favorite episodes!
Joy, u r truly a gem!!! A pure heart to listen to, watching u pour your ideas of what life should be!!! U r knocking it out with Austin by your side!! Keep it up!!
I definitely can relate to the dug fam. I was in a girls home in Missouri that taught us girls it’s not ok to wear shorts/pants, our dresses had to be to our ankles, we wore bonnets, and never saw tv or the internet, no makeup, we had no sense of the world! Crazy how listening to the stories brings back so many memories
I throughly enjoyed this episode with Joy and Austin and being a fan of them and their family it was interesting to here real talk and I commend Austin for not wanting to mask the depression problem but to find a solution for it. I feel too many people just take the meds only to get worse.
I enjoyed hearing from Joy, of course, but I really loved hearing from Austin! I spoke so calmly and freely and you could tell he felt comfortable
Great episode! I’d love to see some Bates couples on since they grew up like the Duggars and they seem more mainstream so to speak. Or Duggar and Bates girls together. I’d love to see Carlin and Joy on together.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the episode. Joy and Austin are so refreshing. I usually don't listen to podcasts, but this my all-time favorite. God bless you all.
Joy & Austin are growing and glowing. Many blessings to your family.
Fun fact - my family has a friend that works at the church Joy and Austin got married at. We didn’t know the wedding was happening and my mom stopped by during set up & rehearsal to see our friend. When she walked in, she was met by security and escorted to the office and then back to the parking lot when she found out our friend was out of the office at the time. She left saying “Something must be going on there, or maybe that church has tight security. They were nice but I’ve never seen that at a church before.” Then photos of their wedding came out and my mom realized that, based on the decorations, the reason she was met by security that day when she stopped by the church was because they were getting ready for Joy and Austin’s wedding 🙈 She’s not a creep! But she probably looked like it that day and we’ve laughed about it ever since 🤦🏻♀️😂
Joy was so young young when she got married. Hardly time to grow up. No formal education. She has come a long way. GOOD for you for not jumping on medication. And working it out.
Great interview. It changed my perspective on the extended Duggar family. I have been influenced by headlines and media. I understand now, why they have suspended their TH-cam videos for a while.
One of the best podcasts you have done! Joy and Austin are legit and beautiful people. Thank God for the Duggers! And the Forsyths!
Postpartum is horrible honey I’m 55 but back in the day when I had it no one could understand. It’s literally like going through hell! Joy you have my respect. I’m so grateful my daughters didn’t get it.
Love them! I’m honestly shocked she didn’t have ppd after Annabelle. I don’t know if I’d survive such a loss. She is so strong! 🤍
I loved this interview. I love Joy and watched their youtube channel. I like Austin more after this. I guess it's getting to know him better. Joy looks great.
Interview Carlin and Evan Stewart! The Stewart Fam on TH-cam. They are my favorite TH-camrs!
Joy you are a wonder. Sending love to a very brave courageous women . Sending love
Joy you are such an amazing person! And so strong, I am sorry for all your suffering and just want to give you a big hug!
It’s so crazy seeing all these super famous people are this podcast. Matt and Abby you’ve come a long way! Great job!
I love all the duggars! Amazing girls and boys! Joy was so close to Jill growing up made me sad she did not mention her or her book at all. I hope the girls can just be close like before, all families go through stuff no one is perfect
I agree!
I suspect a lot of them dont want to go thru what Jill has gone thru so they are very careful not to cross that li e
Man!! Matt just calling me out mid drive for having the TH-cam version on!! 😂
I’ve watched you all from the beginning of your show, and love you all. No one has the right to judge you since they haven’t walked in your shoes. I’ve stuck up for you and your family when others take you apart by the seams. I can’t imagine going through life especially with your brother’s ordeal, and people need to understand what happened to him is not your fault! I love seeing your family thrive and love seeing your kids enjoying life with you all. Bless you and Austin, and your sweet family.
If public scrutiny gave me this much stress, I would get off social media and go silent until people forgot about me. It's not worth it.
I miss Joy so much! I’m really happy to see her here, and wish her and her family the very best ❤
I love how Austin let not talk and didn't try to talk over her
Austin is a very wise man. Joy, thank you for sharing your heart. This was so good!
