Mom Group Chat

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. 😂

September is here, the kids are back in school, and obviously we have a LOT to catch up on.

This week, we’re sitting down for a classic bestie catch-up and chatting about everything that’s been happening lately. Whitney recaps Margot’s birthday and birthday party, Candace gives the full back-to-school update, including a little hand, foot & mouth scare 😅, and shares her latest personality trait: learning how to play mahjong.

Plus, Whitney is getting ready for her upcoming trip to Nantucket and is VERY excited about it.

No major agenda this week, just two best friends catching up on life, motherhood, travel, birthday chaos, and all the random things in between. Grab a coffee (or a glass of wine) and come hang with the girlies. 🤍

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.

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.

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. ❤️

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. 🤍

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.
