We're kicking off July with a good old-fashioned catch-up episode!

This week, we're sharing all the life updates, including:

✨ Whitney recaps her magical due date trip and why those friendships continue to mean so much.

🎆 We're talking Fourth of July plans, our favorite childhood holiday memories, and what summer celebrations look like now as moms.

🩷 Candace gives an update on how taking Evie's pacifier away is really going (the highs, the lows, and everything in between).

🎶 Plus, Candace shares all about the Noah Kahan concert and why it was such a fun night out.

No big topic this week, just two friends catching up on life, motherhood, summer memories, and everything in between. Grab your coffee, take a walk, or fold some laundry with us. We're so happy you're here.

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!

It's time for our June catch-up episode, and as usual, we're covering a little bit of everything.

This week we share updates on life lately, including taking the kids to the dentist, the ongoing process of helping Evie say goodbye to her pacifier, and how Greydon is settling into his new big boy room. Whitney also gives us the latest on their house renovations, and we have a very relatable (and highly unqualified) conversation about all things cortisol and the many ways moms are apparently supposed to be managing it.

Of course, we couldn't end the episode without diving into Part 1 of the Summer House reunion. We break down our biggest takeaways, thoughts on the cast dynamics, and all the moments that had us yelling at our TVs.

In this episode, we cover:

• Taking young kids to the dentist
• Our thoughts on the internet's obsession with cortisol
• The latest on Evie's pacifier weaning journey
• Greydon's new big boy room
• House renovation updates
• Our recap of Summer House Reunion Part 1
• The random motherhood moments keeping us entertained lately

Whether you're folding laundry, sitting in school pickup, or hiding in your pantry for five minutes of peace, we're glad you're here.

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 truly could not do this without you, and we’re so grateful you’re here. 💛

This week on Mom Group Chat, we’re catching up on all things summer mindset shifts, marriage, and making it through the hard seasons together. ☀️We start with a little life catch-up:

• how we’re both trying to “lock in” heading into summer and get our minds/bodies feeling better
• our upcoming long weekend plans
• the small habits and resets helping us feel more like ourselves again

Then we get into the heart of the episode: marriage.

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. 💛

This week on the Mom Group Chat podcast, we’re doing a little rapid fire life catch-up. From sick kids and Mother’s Day moments to the mental load moms carry that nobody really talks about… this episode feels like sitting on the couch with your friends catching up on real life.

Candace recaps Alice’s adorable Mother’s Day event at school, we talk about the sweet little gifts our kids made for us, and have an honest conversation about the difference between moms having hobbies/goals versus dads having them (because… why does it somehow feel different?).

Then we move into a rapid fire check-in with prompts like:

• Something that’s been hard
• Something that’s been easy
• Something we’re over
• Something we’re loving
• Something we’ve been avoiding

It’s honest, funny, slightly chaotic, and very much a real-time life update episode.
