  1. The Mom Exhaustion Badge of Honor (And Why We’re Done Wearing It)

    The Mom Exhaustion Badge of Honor (And Why We’re Done Wearing It)

    Everyone’s tired. But why has mom exhaustion become proof that we’re doing it “right”? In this episode, we’re calling BS on the idea that being constantly worn down is just part of motherhood. Somewhere along the way, burnout became a badge of honor — and if you’re not exhausted, you must not be trying hard enough. We talk about: The invisible mental load no one seesWhy rest feels conditional (and almost selfish)How “effort inflation” keeps raising the bar for what counts as a “good mom”The trap of measuring success by how tired you areAnd the expectations we put on ourselves that we never actually agreed toPlus, we introduce something practical: The Bronze Filter — three simple questions to help you stop performing motherhood and start sustaining it. Because you don’t get extra points for running on empty. And exhaustion is not a personality trait. Bronze doesn’t mean settling. It means showing up in a way you can keep showing up. 👉 Join the Bronze Medal Moms Movement.

    February Coffee Talk: Tattoos, Olympic Moms & Love is Blind

    It’s February Coffee Talk — which means no script, no structure, just real life. We’re debuting our brand-new theme song (yes, we’re basically rock stars now), talking about grief and losing Amy’s almost-104-year-old grandma, debating the Olympic mom double standard, spiraling over Love Is Blind, discussing midlife tattoos, and somehow landing on inversion tables. It’s funny. It’s honest. It’s very “we are not getting the gold medal and we’re fine with it.” If you love episodes that feel like a voice memo from your most unfiltered mom friends, this one’s for you. 👉 Join the Bronze Medal Moms Movement.

    Birthday Party Olympics: Going for Bronze

    When did kids’ birthday parties turn into the Olympics of parenting? Between balloon arches, themed backdrops, and $500 venue minimums, it’s easy to feel like love is measured in how much you spend. In this episode, we’re breaking down: • The real cost of “keeping up” • Why kids don’t need over-the-top to feel celebrated • Simple ways to cut costs without killing the fun • And how to ditch the mom guilt that comes with scaling back If your kid smiles, nobody ends up in urgent care, and you don’t cry in the bathroom — you’ve earned your bronze medal.

  4. Valentine's Day Without the Pressure

    Valentine's Day Without the Pressure

    Amy and Amanda are talking all things Valentine’s Day — and the pressure moms put on themselves to make it perfect. The gifts. The parties. The class Valentines. The expectations. The comparison. All of it. We’re breaking down why Valentine’s Day can feel like chaos disguised as love, and why it’s time to lower the bar and take the pressure all the way off. From the surprisingly dark history of Valentine’s Day, to gas-station candy, crab leg traditions, and the infamous year Amy made her daughter handwrite every Valentine (spoiler: it took 800 years), this episode is full of laughter, real talk, and permission to do less. Whether Valentine’s Day for you is a card, a drive-thru, crab legs at home, Galentine’s snacks with friends, or just everyone being quiet after 8 p.m. — it all counts. If you’ve ever felt like you were doing Valentine’s Day wrong, this episode is your reminder: you’re not. Bronze still shines. 💛 👉 Contact Us: We love hearing from you!

    Mean Moms - Making Motherhood Feeling Like High School (Again)

    Amy and Amanda dive into a topic that hit a nerve with a lot of moms: mean mom energy, exclusion, and why motherhood can sometimes feel like high school all over again. Sparked by the viral Ashley Tisdale mom-group story, this conversation goes way beyond celebrity headlines and into real life — the group texts you’re not on, the invitations that don’t come, the assumptions we make, and the quiet hurt that can come with feeling left out. But this episode isn’t about piling on or mom-shaming. It’s about nuance, grace, and telling the difference between actual mean behavior and miscommunication fueled by busy, overloaded lives. Amy and Amanda share personal stories (including a very telling bathroom conversation at a massive theater festival), talk through how easily misunderstandings escalate, and unpack why assuming bad intent often creates drama that never needed to exist in the first place. They also get honest about when behavior is mean — gossip, judgment disguised as concern, and intentional exclusion — and how to respond without escalating or losing yourself. If you’ve ever wondered, “Is it me?” or felt that quiet sting of not belonging, this episode is a reminder: you’re not alone — and you’re not doing it wrong. Lead with grace, communicate directly, and remember: bronze still shines. 💛 Connect With Us 🌐 Website: www.bronzemedalmoms.com 🛍 Merch: https://bronze-medal-moms.printify.me 📸 Instagram: @bronzemedalmoms 📧 Email: bronzemedalmoms@gmail.com 👉 Contact Us: We love hearing from you!

    January Coffee Talk - Tree Down Yet? Dry-ish January & What We’re Watching

    It’s Coffee Talk — our fan-favorite episode where we show up with coffee, opinions, and zero plan. ☕️ Amy is fresh off the Junior Theater Festival in Atlanta (6,000 musical theatre kids, a “pony circle” that sounds like a mosh pit, and yes… they came home with a trophy and a virus). Meanwhile Amanda’s recovering from regular-life chaos and sharing the kind of mom truths we all need to hear: dads can parent too, and moms are allowed to have their own lives. Then we get into the important January questions: 🎄 Is your Christmas tree still up… and should we stop stripping joy from our houses in the dead of winter? 🍷 Are you doing Dry January, “dry-ish,” or absolutely not? (No judgment either way.) 📺 And what are we binge-watching right now — from Heated Rivalry to documentaries that will either relax you or completely stress you out (hello, Free Solo + Everest). If January feels weird, slow, and a little bare… you’re not alone. You’re doing it perfectly. 💛 Connect with us: 🌐 Website: www.bronzemedalmoms.com 🛍 Merch: https://bronze-medal-moms.printify.me 📸 Instagram: @bronzemedalmoms 📧 Email: bronzemedalmoms@gmail.com 👉 Contact Us: We love hearing from you!

    Owning Your Potential with Leigh Gall

    We’re kicking off 2026 Bronze Medal Mom–style with a conversation every mom needs to hear.  Amy and Amanda sit down with life coach and speaker Leigh Gall to talk about that exhausting voice in our heads — the inner critic, imposter syndrome, and the constant feeling that we’re somehow falling short… even when we’re doing everything. Leigh breaks down why moms are especially vulnerable to imposter syndrome, how our upbringing, culture, and social media fuel comparison, and why perfection was never the goal in the first place. From motherhood and work to friendships and family expectations, this episode is a powerful reminder that you are not broken — you’re human. In this episode, we talk about: Why moms second-guess themselves more than anyone elseHow social media quietly makes imposter syndrome louderThe importance of defining your own values (instead of chasing someone else’s version of “doing it right”)Why having your own back is one of the most important skills you can learnHow modeling self-awareness and grace helps raise emotionally healthy kidsThis is an honest, grounding conversation about lowering the bar, letting go of comparison, and remembering that showing up with love — not perfection — is what actually matters. If you’ve ever thought, “Everyone else seems to have this figured out except me,” this episode is for you. 💛 More About Leigh Leigh is an incredible public speaker and life coach who helps adults quiet their inner critic and unlearn the gold-star mindset they’ve carried for years. Once a people-pleaser herself, she’s now a bold coach challenging the voices that hold you back.

    New Year's Resolutions

    Amy and Amanda break down the truth about New Year’s resolutions — why we love them, why they fall apart, and how to approach goals in a way that actually fits real mom life. We talk about:  ✨ The myth of “New Year, New You”  ✨ Why January is the worst time for reinvention ✨ The guilt spiral when resolutions get too extreme ✨ The hilariously unrealistic “mom resolutions” we all make ✨ And our Bronze Medal Mom approach to goals: small habits, lower expectations, more compassion From morning walks to one family dinner a week, putting things away the first time, screen-free pockets, simple travel plans, and even a family stakeholder meeting — this episode is all about realistic rhythms that make life feel lighter, not harder. If you’ve ever set a resolution and abandoned it by mid-January… this one’s for you.  Because bronze still shines. 💛 Connect With Us 🌐 www.bronzemedalmoms.com 🛍 Merch: https://bronze-medal-moms.printify.me/ 📸 IG: @bronzemedalmoms 📧 bronzemedalmoms@gmail.com 👉 Contact Us: We love hearing from you!
