Compassionate. Meticulous. Dedicated. Genuine. Those are some of the words used by patients to describe Dr. Nneamaka Nwubah - who goes by "Dr. Amaka" - a board-certified plastic surgeon at Nashville Plastic Surgery Institute at Maxwell Aesthetics. Not all plastic surgeons complete an aesthetic fellowship, and fewer are trained by recognized giants in the specialty; Dr. Amaka has done both. In one of the most revealing episodes of Out of Bounds to date, Jaimie and Abby lean into the "nothing is off limits or out of bounds" mantra and ask Dr. Amaka everything you're dying to know about being a plastic surgeon. Mommy Restorations, collagen, post breast-cancer reconstruction, and more: It's time to axe the taboo around plastic surgery and consult the pro.

Taylin Lewan jokes that her Instagram page might get a lot of traffic from people actually looking for her husband Taylor... but WE are looking for HER. Join Jaimie and Abby for the epic season 2 premiere of Out of Bounds presented by Ashley: where they get an exclusive with the typically private but ever-captivating Taylin Lewan. Taylin is a mom of two and philanthropist who has spearheaded charitable initiatives across Nashville fighting homelessness and hunger. Breaking all stereotypes of the "NFL wife," she cofounded Feeding Nashville with Hayley Hubbard to provide daily meals to individuals and families in middle Tennessee. Tune in to hear her wild romance story with Taylor, her take on motherhood, and the physical, spiritual, and mental obstacles her family faced during her husband's injury.

Intentionality, purpose, and mental toughness: the daily drivers behind the Tennessee Titans' Chief Financial Officer, Shannon Myers. Shannon leads the Finance, Accounting, and Human Resources teams for the Titans front office, but still finds time to prioritize mentorship for fellow women in professional sports, and her busy family at home.

For all working moms out there: tune-in to hear Shannon's outlook on overcoming unanticipated career roadblocks, advice on imposter syndrome, and being truly present for all those key moments in your kid's lives.
