It’s our February catch-up episode, which means we’re covering a little bit of everything — real life updates, mom chaos, and the random obsessions that are getting us through winter.

Whitney kicks things off with a recap of the wild Nashville ice storm that left them without power for days. Freezing temps, no electricity, kids stuck inside, and parents doing the absolute most to keep everyone fed, warm, and entertained. The cabin fever was real, routines were gone, and survival mode was fully activated.

Candace recaps Gasparilla season — the chaos, the fun, the exhaustion, and the classic post-event realization that “this was amazing” and “I need three business days to recover” can both be true.

Then we get into our latest fixation: Heated Rivalry. We’re recapping it, talking about why we’re so obsessed, and yes… the obsession spiraled far enough that Candace signed Alice up for hockey. (Influenced by TV? Maybe. Regrets? TBD.)

Candace also shares what’s been weighing on her with applying to private schools — the process, the pressure, and the deeper layer underneath it all: re-evaluating why they want to go that route in the first place, and what actually feels aligned for their family versus what just sounds like the “right” move.

If you’re feeling maxed out, stuck in winter chaos, and using a TV obsession as a personality trait right now… welcome. You’re in good company.

This week’s Mom Group Chat is a little chaotic… which feels fitting, because so is parenting toddlers right now.

Candace and Whitney get real about this season of motherhood where the toddlers are testing everything, patience is thin, tempers are short, and it feels like you’re one spilled snack away from losing it. Candace shares a real-time realization she’s having about how she wants to show up differently, even when it’s hard, loud, and overstimulating.

In true Mom Group Chat fashion, the conversation takes a HARD detour into Bravo land (because sometimes Housewives drama feels easier than our own). But we bring it back to what’s actually underneath it all: we love our kids, we want to be better, and we’re trying to lean more into positive reinforcement instead of constant correction and snapping.

If you’ve felt like parenting your toddler lately is really freaking hard, and you’re not always proud of how you’re handling it, this episode is your reminder that you are not alone. We’re in it with you.

We talk about:

• Why this stage with toddlers can feel so overstimulating and relentless
• That moment you realize you don’t actually like how you’re reacting
• The guilt spiral after losing your cool
• A very necessary Bravo tangent
• Shifting from constant “no” to more positive reinforcement
• Wanting to be better moms without expecting ourselves to be perfect

This week on Mom Group Chat, we’re diving into the celebrity mom-group drama that has been everywhere — and unpacking why it hit such a nerve.

We break down what actually happened with Ashley Tisdale, Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore, and the now-viral conversation around “toxic” mom groups, exclusion, and evolving friendships in adulthood. From subtle social media moves to public reactions (including when partners get involved 👀), we talk through what’s fact, what’s speculation, and why this story feels so familiar to so many moms.

Because let’s be honest — you don’t have to be famous to know what it’s like to outgrow a friend group, feel left out, or realize a dynamic just isn’t serving you anymore.

We also shift gears and recap some of our favorite moments from the Golden Globe Awards — from standout looks to pop-culture moments that had everyone talking, plus our totally unqualified but very passionate opinions.

✨ In this episode, we chat about:

• What makes a mom group feel supportive vs. draining
• Whether “toxic” is the right word — or just a reflection of misalignment
• How adult friendships change after kids
• The role of social media in amplifying private experiences
• Why this drama resonated with so many women
• Our Golden Globes highlights, fashion moments, and pop culture takes

As always, this is a judgment-free, sides-not-taken conversation — just real talk about motherhood, friendships, and navigating relationships in this season of life.

Grab your coffee (or wine), and let’s chat. 💬
