This week on Mom Group Chat, we’re joined by Chandler Quarles—mom, designer, and co-founder of the wildly successful Peach & Pine Interiors. Chandler pulls back the curtain on what it’s really like to run a thriving interior design business while raising kids, and she shares her best advice for creating a home you actually love living in.

We cover it all—from cozy quick fixes to smart investments, and even the trends that make us laugh looking back. Chandler also talks about the dynamics of working with her husband as her business partner and how they’ve made it work (through both the highs and lows).

In this episode you’ll hear:

 * How Chandler juggles motherhood with running a successful design firm
 * Practical tips for creating a home you love (even with little ones running around)
 * Easy ways to make your space feel instantly cozy
 * What’s worth investing in vs. where to save when it comes to home design
 * A candid conversation on past design trends and how to stay timeless
 * The realities of working with your spouse in business

Whether you’re dreaming up your next big reno or just want to make your home feel a little more like you, this episode is full of ideas, laughs, and inspiration.

EP 112: Designing a Home You Love with Chandler Quarles

After a three-week break, the girls are finally back behind the mics — and let’s just say, there’s a lot to catch up on. From Margot’s birthday celebrations to Candace’s trip out to Lake Tahoe, we’re filling you in on all the life updates you missed. And of course, we couldn’t resist diving into the pop culture moment everyone’s buzzing about: Taylor Swift’s engagement.

Grab your coffee (or wine, no judgment) and come hang out with us as we laugh, vent, and cover it all.

EP 111: September Catch Up

This week on Mom Group Chat we’re diving headfirst into the drama, scandals, and chaos of pop culture. Consider this your group chat debrief on everything everyone’s been talking about (and probably oversharing opinions on).

We get into:

 * Reality TV — our current obsessions and hot takes
 * The Coldplay concert scandal (and why everyone has an opinion about it)
 * Kylie Jenner and her… boobs (yes, we’re going there)
 * What’s really going on with Hayley and Justin Bieber
 * The Blake Lively x Justin Baldoni drama
 * Our thoughts on the latest Love Island season
 * …and so much more pop culture chatter

It’s messy, it’s unfiltered, and it’s exactly what you’d expect from a group chat with your best friends.

🎧 Tune in for our takes, and don’t forget to let us know your own — DM us what side you’re on in these pop culture debates!

EP 110: Pop Culture Takes

This week on Mom Group Chat, we’re joined by the one and only Rebecca Sue Watson — hilarious content creator, teen mom turned powerhouse parent, and the unhinged voice behind the "toot your coot for a cinnamon roll" movement (yes, you read that right).

Rebecca had us cry-laughing and tearing up (sometimes in the same sentence) as she opened up about:

 * Becoming a mom as a teenager and what that season taught her
 * The very unconventional journey of her marriage — and how they've made it work
 * Raising a child with special needs: the raw struggles, the beautiful perspective shifts, and the way it’s changed her entire view on motherhood
 * How she manages to find humor in everyday chaos — from wardrobe malfunctions at school pickup to her kid Hulk-smashing through a pumpkin patch

If you're a mom who's ever felt like a hot mess, this episode will make you feel seen, heard, and maybe slightly more sane. Rebecca is equal parts heart and hilarity — and this is a convo you don’t want to miss.

EP 109: Unhinged & Unfiltered with Rebecca Sue Watson

It’s officially back to school season, which means… new routines, new supplies, and yes—new germs. 🫠

In this episode, we’re talking:

 * The back-to-school traditions we want to start with our kids
 * What we’ve actually bought so far (and what’s still sitting in our carts)
 * The annual brace yourself moment for the inevitable influx of sniffles, coughs, and colds

Plus, at the top of the episode, Candace shares why she’s officially entering her Season of “No” for the rest of the year. We’re talking boundaries, priorities, and saying no to what doesn’t serve us (with a little humor, of course).

Whether your kids are already in class or you’re still labeling supplies, this one’s a mix of real talk, laughs, and mom-life solidarity.

EP 108: Back to School

This week on Mom Group Chat, we’re sitting down with Megan McNamee, MPH, RDN, CLT – co-founder of Feeding Littles – for a conversation every parent needs to hear.

We talk all things feeding littles (pun intended):

 * How Feeding Littles started and what inspired Megan’s mission
 * The pep talk every stressed-out parent needs when it comes to feeding kids
 * Why we all need to take a big, deep breath and chill out around food
 * Simple, real-life ways to foster a healthy relationship with food for your kids (and maybe yourself too)
 * Plus, the scoop on the brand-new Feeding Littles Lunches book that takes alllll the guesswork out of packing school lunches (seriously, total game changer)

If mealtime feels like a battle, or you just need reassurance that you’re not messing it all up, this episode is your permission slip to relax, laugh, and learn.

🎧 Tune in now – your dinnertime sanity (and your lunch-packing routine) might just thank you.

EP 107: Feeding Littles with Megan McNamee

We’re back with a much-needed August catch-up! This week, we’re chatting about all the random things going on in our lives—because sometimes you just need a good mom group vent session.

Candace gave herself an impromptu “makeover” because she had an ugly makeup-free weekend and we’re here for this energy. She’s also on a mission to make her house cozy and cute by Christmas, despite the chaos that comes with, well… life.

We also get into the question of the moment: Is it too soon to be thinking about Halloween? (Spoiler: probably not.)

And then there's the second child convo—are they just universally wild, or is Whitney’s second just a special brand of unhinged? We break it down, mom-to-mom style.

Grab a coffee (or a Halloween-themed wine glass?), tune in, and come hang out with us for some real-talk and laughs.

EP 106: August Catch Up

This week on Mom Group Chat, we’re getting real about burnout — the kind that sneaks in slowly until suddenly everything feels like too much. We’re sharing our personal experiences with burnout, what it looks and feels like for us, and the little “tells” we’ve learned to spot before we hit a full-blown wall. Whether it’s snapping over spilled snacks, fantasizing about solo hotel stays, or just feeling like you’re failing at everything, we see you — and we’ve been there too. We talk about common signs of burnout that working moms often ignore, plus simple shifts and mindset reframes that can help you climb out of the chaos. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or just off, this is your invitation to pause, listen, and remember: you’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep pushing through.

EP 105: Dealing with Burnout

This week on Mom Group Chat, we’re talking about something no one prepares you for — the return of your period after having a baby. Why is it so intense? Why does it feel like a whole new era of womanhood? And why does no one talk about this? We’re sharing our honest experiences with postpartum periods — from the surprising timing of their return, to how hormones, mood swings, and breastfeeding can all play a role.

We also chat about what’s normal, what caught us totally off guard, and some stories from past periods. If you’ve ever felt blindsided by the comeback of Aunt Flo or just want to feel less alone in the chaos of postpartum symptoms, this episode is for you. As always, it’s real, unfiltered, and full of things we probably shouldn’t say out loud… but do anyway.

EP 104: Postpartum Periods

This week on Mom Group Chat, we’re diving into one of our favorite internet trends and putting a motherhood spin on it: What would send a Renaissance-era mom into a coma? Spoiler: pretty much everything.

From baby monitors to dry shampoo, from Starbucks drive-thrus to iPads blasting Cocomelon, we’re imagining what modern mom life would look like through the eyes of a 1500s peasant woman — and the results are unhinged. Think of it as historical fiction… but chaotic and caffeinated.

We also talk about:

 * How Amazon Prime would look like sorcery from the gods
 * The Baby Brezza and how it’s basically a magical milk machine
 * How modern medicine and vaccinations would either save her life… or get her burned at the stake

Plus, a little bit of laughing at ourselves — because when you really step back, our lives do look kind of wild.

EP 103: Things That Would Send a Renaissance Mom Into a Coma

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.
