It's been a couple of weeks since we've been behind the mic thanks to summer schedules and the Fourth of July, so this week is exactly what it sounds like: a long overdue bestie catch-up.

We're filling you in on what's been going on in our lives, sharing a few summer updates, and of course... taking a very important detour into the internet's favorite topic: Taylor Swift's wedding. Because obviously we have thoughts.

No agenda, no deep dive, just two friends catching up and inviting you into the conversation. Grab your coffee, throw us on during your errands, and come hang out with us.

As always, thanks for being here. We missed you. 🤍

EP 153: Bestie Catch Up + Taylor Swift's Wedding

Summer has a way of bringing body image to the forefront, doesn't it? In this episode, we're having an honest conversation about where we're both at with our bodies this summer and how our mindset has shifted over the years.

We talk about why body image isn't something you "fix" once and for all, but more like a wave that comes and goes. We share the things that help us feel good mentally and physically, how we've learned to detach our worth from what our bodies look like, and the little mindset shifts that help us stop the comparison spiral before it takes over.

If you've ever dreaded putting on a swimsuit, found yourself comparing your body to someone else's, or just needed the reminder that you're not alone, this conversation is for you.

EP 152: Summer Bodies

We're kicking off July with a good old-fashioned catch-up episode!

This week, we're sharing all the life updates, including:

✨ Whitney recaps her magical due date trip and why those friendships continue to mean so much.

🎆 We're talking Fourth of July plans, our favorite childhood holiday memories, and what summer celebrations look like now as moms.

🩷 Candace gives an update on how taking Evie's pacifier away is really going (the highs, the lows, and everything in between).

🎶 Plus, Candace shares all about the Noah Kahan concert and why it was such a fun night out.

No big topic this week, just two friends catching up on life, motherhood, summer memories, and everything in between. Grab your coffee, take a walk, or fold some laundry with us. We're so happy you're here.

EP 151: July Catch Up

This week, we're diving deep into one of the most unexpected and meaningful parts of modern motherhood: due date groups.

Whether you found yours on Facebook, Reddit, BabyCenter, or somewhere else entirely, there's something magical about navigating pregnancy, newborn life, toddlerhood, and beyond alongside thousands of moms who are in the exact same season as you.

In this episode, we're sharing how due date groups have shaped our motherhood journeys, the friendships we've made, the support we've received during some of the hardest moments, and why these communities can feel like a true village in a world where so many moms feel isolated.

Of course, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. We also talk about the challenges that can come with these groups, including comparison, differing parenting opinions, and navigating relationships online.

If you've ever wondered whether joining a due date group is worth it, or if you've found yourself leaning on yours more than you ever expected, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What a due date group actually is and where to find one

• Why being surrounded by moms in the exact same season is so powerful

• The friendships and support systems that have come from our groups

• How due date groups evolve from pregnancy through the preschool years

• The challenges of comparison and differing parenting styles

• Why these communities have made motherhood feel less lonely

• Our favorite memories and biggest takeaways from being part of these groups

As always, thanks for hanging out with us this week. If you're part of a due date group, we'd love to hear about your experience!

EP 148: Summer Travel with Uncle Rob Rob

It's time for our June catch-up episode, and as usual, we're covering a little bit of everything.

This week we share updates on life lately, including taking the kids to the dentist, the ongoing process of helping Evie say goodbye to her pacifier, and how Greydon is settling into his new big boy room. Whitney also gives us the latest on their house renovations, and we have a very relatable (and highly unqualified) conversation about all things cortisol and the many ways moms are apparently supposed to be managing it.

Of course, we couldn't end the episode without diving into Part 1 of the Summer House reunion. We break down our biggest takeaways, thoughts on the cast dynamics, and all the moments that had us yelling at our TVs.

In this episode, we cover:

 * Taking young kids to the dentist
 * Our thoughts on the internet's obsession with cortisol
 * The latest on Evie's pacifier weaning journey
 * Greydon's new big boy room
 * House renovation updates
 * Our recap of Summer House Reunion Part 1

EP 147: June Catch Up

This week on Mom Group Chat, we’re celebrating THREE YEARS of the podcast 🥹

In this episode, we’re taking a trip down memory lane and talking about how Mom Group Chat actually began, the chaotic weekend where it all came together, and laughing about how incredibly novice we were when we first started. Truly… we had no idea what we were doing 😂

We also reflect on everything we’ve lived through together over the past three years. The beautiful moments, the hard seasons, the grief, the growth, the motherhood chaos, and all the life that’s happened in between. We talk about how special it feels to have this space to walk through it all together, not just with each other, but with all of you listening too.

We also share some of our favorite guests and favorite moments from the history of the show, plus a few behind-the-scenes memories along the way.

Mostly, this episode is just one big thank you. Thank you for listening, supporting, sharing, laughing, crying, and growing with us over these last three years. We truly could not do this without you, and we’re so grateful you’re here. 💛

EP 146: 3 YEARS OF MOM GROUP CHAT

This week on Mom Group Chat, we’re catching up on all things summer mindset shifts, marriage, and making it through the hard seasons together. ☀️We start with a little life catch-up:

 * how we’re both trying to “lock in” heading into summer and get our minds/bodies feeling better 
 * our upcoming long weekend plans 
 * the small habits and resets helping us feel more like ourselves again


Then we get into the heart of the episode: marriage.

We talk honestly about:

 * how normal it is for marriage to have ups and downs
 * the reality of feeling disconnected or stuck in the trenches of parenting/life
 * how getting outside of your normal routine (like a girls trip, solo time, or simply stepping away for perspective) can help you see your relationship differently
 * the pressure to feel “good” in your marriage all the time
 * reminding yourself that the sum of your marriage is bigger than one hard season
 * how important it is to remember you’re on the same team, even when life feels heavy

If you’ve been in a season where you’re questioning everything, feeling distant from your partner, or wondering when things will feel easier again… this episode is for you. 💛

EP 145: We're on the Same Team 

This week on the Mom Group Chat podcast, we’re doing a little rapid fire life catch-up. From sick kids and Mother’s Day moments to the mental load moms carry that nobody really talks about… this episode feels like sitting on the couch with your friends catching up on real life.

Candace recaps Alice’s adorable Mother’s Day event at school, we talk about the sweet little gifts our kids made for us, and have an honest conversation about the difference between moms having hobbies/goals versus dads having them (because… why does it somehow feel different?).

Then we move into a rapid fire check-in with prompts like:

 * Something that’s been hard
 * Something that’s been easy
 * Something we’re over
 * Something we’re loving
 * Something we’ve been avoiding

It’s honest, funny, slightly chaotic, and very much a real-time life update episode.

EP 144: Rapid Fire

Mom Group Chat is a podcast for moms who are not perfect, but trying their best. We’re three best friends who have spent the past two years blowing up each other's phones for honest conversation around how our lives took a full 180 in the blink of an eye. We’re tired, we’re covered in yogurt, we’re obsessed with our baby’s chubby cheeks, we’re happiest alone in the car, and we’re trying to make sense of it all in our group chat.

Join us as we take the conversation from the phone to the mic and dive into topics like mom guilt, family dynamics, pregnancy and fertility, healthy coping mechanisms 🧘🏻‍♀️, not so healthy coping mechanisms 🍷, female friendships 💞, trying to find one *single* pair of jeans that work for your postpartum body, and so much more.

We’ll have guests, experts, and hear from our community because it takes a village, ya’ll. Bring your sense of humor because if you’re not laughing through motherhood, you’re probably crying. The only people that understand what it’s really like to be a mom, are other moms. So, hand the kids to dad for a few and welcome to our Mom Group Chat.
