We’re back with Part 2 of our potty training chat — and just to be clear: we are not experts. We’re still very much in the middle of it, figuring things out one accident at a time.

In this episode, we’re answering your most common questions about potty training, from how to start, to regressions, to whether you really need a little potty (jury’s still out). Plus, we’re sharing the best tips we got from other moms that made us feel a little more sane.

We also recap Father’s Day — the good, the chaotic, and the emotional — and talk about the summer sickness spiral that seems to be hitting every household right now.

Come for the potty talk, stay for the solidarity. You’re not alone, and you’re doing great. 💛

EP 100: Celebrating 100 Episodes of Mom Group Chat

This week on Mom Group Chat, we're diving into one of our most requested topics ever: potty training. And here's the honest truth—neither of us are experts. We're still very much in it, figuring things out as we go.

In Part 1 of this two-part series, we’re sharing our very relaxed, real-life approach to potty training—what’s worked, what hasn’t, and how we’re managing to keep our expectations low (and our sanity somewhat intact). From how we knew it was time to start, to the accidents, regressions, and general unpredictability… we’re talking about it all.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, behind, or just totally stressed about potty training, this episode is your permission slip to take a deep breath and let your kid lead the way. You are not alone in this!

👉 Stay tuned for Part 2, where we’ll be answering all your burning potty questions and sharing the tips, tricks, and hacks you all sent in!

EP 99: Potty Training Pt. 1

This week we’re joined by the effortlessly cool Amanda Jones Vaughan for a real and refreshing conversation on motherhood, grief, style, and everything in between. Amanda opens up about choosing to have a fourth baby, how this pregnancy feels different, and what life looks like after the loss of her mom. We talk about giving ourselves grace in motherhood, especially during the hard seasons, and how to redefine self-care beyond the surface-level stuff.

We also dive into career pivots, letting go of hustle, and her ever-evolving sense of style—including what she’s loving for summer and how her approach to shopping has changed.

In this episode, we cover:

 * Navigating pregnancy and grief at the same time
 * The “grass is greener” trap and learning to focus on the good
 * What it really looks like to take care of yourself
 * Amanda’s style evolution and favorite places to shop right now

EP 98: Pregnancy, Grief, and Giving Yourself Grace with Amanda Jones Vaughan

It’s time for our June catch-up! This week on Mom Group Chat, we’re talking about all the things—starting with our Memorial Day weekend plans and how we’re navigating the early stages of toddler logic (spoiler: they’re finally starting to understand consequences... kind of?). We chat about the idea of “earning things back,” whether we need to level up our discipline game, and if it’s finally time to break out the ol’ behavior chart.

Candace also gives a full recap of Hannah’s dreamy wedding day (yes, there was a dance floor moment) and shares an update on how TJ and Andrew are doing.

Come hang with us—this one feels like sitting on the porch with your best friends, drink in hand, wondering if your kid just manipulated you or if they’re actually becoming a decent human.

EP 97: June Catch Up

We did it! We braved Disney with a toddler and a baby — and lived to tell the tale. In this episode, I’m recapping our trip to the most magical (and chaotic) place on earth with my 3-year-old and 1-year-old. From what worked and what definitely didn’t, to the moments that made it all worth it, I’m sharing it all.

You’ll hear:

 * What I’d absolutely do again (and what I’ll skip next time)
 * My best tips for navigating Disney with young kids
 * How we handled naps, meals, overstimulation, and meltdowns
 * The gear I was so glad we brought (stroller fans, I owe you my life)
 * Where to cool off and catch a break in Magic Kingdom and EPCOT
 * Why mindset matters more than your park itinerary when you’re traveling with littles

Whether you’re planning your first Disney trip or just want to laugh along at the chaos, this one’s for you.

EP 96: Disney With Littles

This week on Mom Group Chat, we’re talking about something so many moms wonder but rarely say out loud: How do I get my spark back after having babies?

We’re getting real about:

 * Whether there’s a timeline for feeling like yourself again (spoiler: nope)
 * How different it was for each of us after each pregnancy
 * What it actually looked like when the spark started to return — and the small things that helped
 * Why you can’t thrive until you’re done surviving — and how to know when that shift starts to happen

This isn’t about bouncing back. It’s about coming back to yourself — slowly, messily, and on your own terms.

Whether you’re in the thick of the newborn fog or finally feeling the clouds part, this episode is your reminder that the spark does come back — and you’re not alone while you wait for it.

EP 95: Getting Your Spark Back

It’s our May catch-up, and we’re covering everything from disco balls to rogue body washes.

Whitney kicks things off with a full recap of her Disco Cinco bash — she’s officially in her Nat Note era, complete with themed drinks, custom outfits, and a timeline that could rival a wedding. Meanwhile, Candace shares her unexpected UTI journey (spoiler: it all started with a new body wash... what is happening?!), plus a recap of her girls trip for a friend’s birthday — which included a very aggressive attempt to drink around the world at Epcot 🍻🌎

Oh, and she’s also attempting to plan a Disney trip, but mostly just spiraling in excitement without a game plan.

Tune in for laughs, overshares, and the kind of chaos that only happens in the group chat.

EP 94: May Catch Up

This week on Mom Group Chat, we’re flipping the script — and YOU are running the show!
We opened up the floor for questions, and you delivered. From funny toddler moments to real talk about relationships and motherhood, we're answering it all.

In this episode, we chat about:

 * Dealing with milestones and not comparing yourself to others
 * Who is the initiator in the bedroom
 * How to get out of the roommate phase
 * Have we ever kicked anyone out of the Mom Group Chat Facebook group?
 * The craziest things our toddlers have cried about

This episode felt like one big group text with your best friends — no topic was off limits, and you better believe we kept it real.
Thank you for sending in your questions — we had so much fun with this one and definitely want to do it again!

EP 93: Ask Us Anything

In this week’s episode, we’re talking about doing what feels good—just because it feels good. Candace shares that she got lip filler this week, and we use that as a jumping-off point to dive into something way deeper: what it means to do something just for you as a mom.

We unpack the guilt that can come with prioritizing yourself, why so many moms feel the need to justify anything that brings them joy, and how freeing it is to stop asking for permission. Whether it's cosmetic, creative, or simply carving out space for rest—we’re giving a full permission slip to let yourself want things.

We also talk about:

 * Reclaiming agency over your body, time, and energy
 * Why doing what feels good can be healing, not selfish
 * Modeling self-prioritization for your kids
 * The magic of saying, “Because I wanted to”

This episode is your reminder that you’re allowed to be a full person—with desires, with needs, with a little lip plump if you’re into that. 💋

EP 92: Because I Wanted To

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.
