Candace and Whitney are back with another cozy October catch-up! This week, they’re recapping Greydon’s 4th birthday party (complete with all the chaos and cuteness) and Candace’s family weekend on Anna Maria Island — beach vibes, toddler meltdowns, and all.

Between birthday madness, travel stories, and the usual mom-life chaos, this episode feels like a chat with your best friends while you fold laundry or sip your iced coffee. Expect laughs, honesty, and a healthy dose of “yep, been there.”

EP 116: October Catch Up Pt. 2

This week’s episode kicks off with absolute chaos—Candace vs. a cockroach on the ceiling. (Spoiler: she won. But it wasn’t pretty.) From there, we settle in for a cozy October catch-up filled with laughs, real-life updates, and some mom-life mayhem.

We’re chatting:
🎉 Party prepping for Greydon’s birthday
🐝 Evie’s wild hive breakout (and the saga that followed)
📺 Our current TV obsessions and what’s on our must-watch list

It’s messy, it’s funny, and it’s everything you’d expect from an October catch-up with your favorite mom group chat.

EP 114: Fall Favorites

This week on Mom Group Chat, we’re diving into what our daily lives really look like as moms. From juggling work to managing childcare to squeezing in family time, the way we structure our days couldn’t be more different. Whitney and I each have unique work situations and childcare setups, which means our weekdays run on totally different rhythms. But no matter how different our weeks look, we all crash into the same reality once the weekend rolls around — and that’s where the real challenge begins.

We get real about:

 * How we plan (or don’t plan) our weekdays
 * The different ways our work and childcare situations shape our routines
 * Why weekends can feel extra stressful (hint: everyone’s on the same playing field!)
 * Our go-to time fillers and mindset shifts that help make weekends smoother

Whether you’re a mom who thrives on structure or one who takes it day by day, you’ll feel seen in this one.

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).

 * 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

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

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.
