Mom Group Chat

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.

EP 162: October Catch Up
We’re finally BACK! After a few weeks away from the microphones, Candace and Whitney have a lot of life to catch up on. Whitney is recapping her trip to Nantucket, while Candace shares all about her trip to Los Angeles for Create & Cultivate, including traveling without the kids, getting away from normal mom life for a few days, and coming home ready to get back into a routine. Back at home, Whitney is officially planning Greydon’s 5th birthday (which truly feels impossible), and Candace is entering what she’s calling her “lock in” era. With 90 days until her 36th birthday, Candace decided she’s ready to stop feeling like she’s constantly playing catch-up and start being more intentional about how she’s spending her time. She’s locking in on her health and fitness, business and finances, marriage and friendships, motherhood, home projects, routines, self-care, and actually making time for the things that make her feel like herself. It’s not about becoming a completely different person in 90 days or following some impossible wellness routine. It’s about getting her life in order, building better habits, creating more balance as a working mom, and going into 36 feeling stronger, happier, more organized, and more present. We’re talking travel, motherhood, birthday party planning, productivity, wellness, work-life balance, getting back into routines, and the never-ending attempt to somehow keep all the different parts of life moving at the same time. Basically, it’s the ultimate Mom Group Chat catch-up episode. We missed you guys. 🤍 Want to follow along with Candace’s 90-day lock in? She’s sharing more of the behind-the-scenes, life updates, motherhood, business, and everything in between over on Substack.

EP 161: Keeping Score in Marriage
Candace almost didn’t make it to this recording because she got completely sucked into a 9/11 documentary. So naturally, we start by talking about why so many of us millennials are still fascinated by 9/11 and can lose hours watching documentaries about it. Then we get into something that might feel a little too familiar if you’re married with kids: keeping score. The “I did bedtime last night, so you should do it tonight” conversations. The mental tally of who got a break, who’s been up with the kids, and who’s done more around the house. We talk about how easy it is to fall into that tit-for-tat mentality when you’re both exhausted. And let’s be real, tit does not always equal tat, if you know what we mean. 😂 Come hang out with us this week. Love you, mean it. 🤍 Keep up with the Moms and join the conversation on our socials: 📸 Instagram: @‌momgroupchat 🎵 TikTok: @‌momgroupchat Questions/comments/need to vent?

EP 160: Letting ChatGPT Interview Us
This week, we’re handing over the mics to… ChatGPT. 😆 We asked ChatGPT to interview us based on everything it knows about Mom Group Chat, our friendship, motherhood, and the MANY things we’ve shared over the years, and honestly? The questions got a little deeper than we expected. We’re talking about the things we swore we’d never do as moms, what we think the other person worries about too much, how motherhood has changed us, what we’ve learned from each other, and what we hope our kids remember about us someday. Plus, a little rapid fire, a few podcast confessions, and some questions that had us thinking way harder than we planned to. Basically, ChatGPT knows us a little too well. 😂 Keep up with the Moms and join the conversation on our socials: 📸 Instagram: @‌momgroupchat 🎵 TikTok: @‌momgroupchat Questions/comments/need to vent?

EP 157: Postpartum Mental Health
This week’s episode is a heavier one, but an important one. We’re talking about the heartbreaking news of Hayden Panettiere’s passing and reflecting on her very public experience with postpartum depression, anxiety, addiction, and the complicated reality of becoming a mother when motherhood doesn’t feel the way you were told it would. We also touch lightly on the Lindsay Clancy trial and the larger conversation it has brought back to the forefront around postpartum mental health, including the important distinction between postpartum depression, anxiety, and postpartum psychosis. But more than anything, this episode is about the part of postpartum that so many women struggle to say out loud. We spend our entire lives hearing that motherhood is magical. That meeting your baby will be the happiest moment of your life. That you’ll soak up every second. So what happens when you have your baby and you don’t feel that way? Candace and Whitney both share their own experiences with postpartum mental health, the shame that can come with struggling during a season you’re “supposed” to love, and why it can feel so incredibly hard to admit that you’re not okay. In this episode, we talk about: Hayden Panettiere’s openness about postpartum depression and anxiety The Lindsay Clancy trial and the conversation surrounding postpartum mental health The difference between postpartum depression/anxiety and postpartum psychosis Our own experiences with mental health after becoming mothers The pressure to experience motherhood as magical and joyful Why shame keeps so many moms from talking about what they’re actually experiencing Why postpartum care needs to include so much more care for the mother This conversation includes discussion of postpartum depression, anxiety, psychosis, addiction, suicide, and the deaths of children. Please take care while listening. If you are struggling during pregnancy or postpartum, please know that what you’re experiencing deserves to be taken seriously. Reach out to your healthcare provider or someone you trust for support.

EP 156: The Mindf*ck of Motherhood with Lindsey Mango
What does a life coach actually do? And do you really need one if you already listen to podcasts, read the books, and consume all the self-development content? This week, we’re joined by life coach and mom of two Lindsey Mango for a conversation about coaching, motherhood, and the massive identity shift that happens when you become a mom. Lindsey breaks down what life coaching really looks like, how it differs from therapy, and the difference between consuming inspirational content and actually being coached. We also get into the stuff so many moms are quietly navigating: feeling like you’ve lost yourself, tying your worth to productivity, mom guilt, perfectionism, self-trust, and figuring out who you are on the other side of becoming a mother. Plus, Lindsey shares some of the coaching she finds herself giving moms over and over again, what she’s learning in her own season of motherhood, and why small, consistent mindset shifts can make such a big difference. Whether you’ve worked with a coach before, have always been curious about coaching, or have secretly wondered “isn’t that basically just therapy?” this episode is for you.

EP 155: Comparison is the Thief of Joy
This week we're catching up after a busy weekend! Candace recaps Marin's bachelorette trip (yes, there are stories), and then the conversation takes a turn into something that's been weighing on both of our hearts: comparison in motherhood. With back-to-school season in full swing, social media can make it feel like everyone else is doing more, celebrating bigger, and somehow crushing every part of motherhood. But is that actually true? We talk about the pressure to keep up, how easy it is to compare yourself to someone else's highlight reel, and the reminder Whitney shares that we both needed to hear: no one is excelling in every area of life. Every mom has her strengths, every family has their struggles, and what you're seeing online is only one carefully curated piece of the picture. If you've been feeling like you're falling behind or wondering if you're doing enough, this episode is your reminder that you don't have to be everything to everyone. You're allowed to do motherhood your way. We hope this conversation leaves you feeling a little lighter, a little less alone, and a lot more confident in the mom you already are. ❤️ Keep up with the Moms and join the conversation on our socials: 📸 Instagram: @‌momgroupchat 🎵 TikTok: @‌momgroupchat Questions/comments/need to vent?

After a little summer break, we're back! This week is a classic Mom Group Chat catch-up. We're chatting about everything that's been going on lately, from getting ready for back-to-school season to Candace's upcoming bachelorette weekend (and all the prep that comes with leaving your family for a few days). As always, it's a little bit of motherhood, a little bit of life, and a lot of catching up with your internet mom friends. Grab a coffee, fold some laundry, or throw us on during your commute—we're so happy to be back with you. Thanks for hanging out with us this week!

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

EP 152: Summer Bodies
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 150: Due Date Groups
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!

Rob shares his best travel tips, Disney advice, destination recommendations, and the biggest mistakes families make when planning trips.

EP 146: 3 YEARS OF MOM GROUP CHAT
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 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. 💛 Keep up with the Moms and join the conversation on our socials: 📸 Instagram: @‌momgroupchat 🎵 TikTok: @‌momgroupchat Questions/comments/need to vent?
