Bronze Medal Moms is the podcast for women who are done chasing perfection and ready to embrace the beautifully messy reality of motherhood. Hosted by Amy Welch and Amanda Grubb, two longtime friends and moms who are just trying to keep the wheels on the bus (literally and figuratively), this show is a celebration of the parents who show up late, forget picture day, serve cereal for dinner—and still love their kids like crazy. Through honest conversations, hilarious confessions, and the occasional “oops,” Bronze Medal Moms reminds you that you don’t have to win gold to be doing a great job. If you’ve ever felt like the only mom not crushing a Pinterest-worthy routine, this space is for you. Because good enough is good enough. And bronze? Still a medal.Want to connect with us?  https://bronzemedalmoms.com/ Find us on Instagram at Bronze Medal Moms: https://www.instagram.com/bronzemedalmoms

    Moms Are Sexy Too: Inside Amy’s Boudoir Shoot with Sontera of Lighthouse Boudoir

    What actually happens at a boudoir shoot? And what possesses a grown woman to willingly get half naked in front of stranger with a camera? Amy has done it — with today’s guest, photographer Sontera from Lighthouse Boudoir — so we’re talking about the whole experience. The nerves before the shoot, figuring out what to wear, posing when you have absolutely no idea what you’re doing, and the magic that happens when you have the right person behind the camera. Sontera shares what women are really worried about when they walk into her studio, what she wishes more women knew before booking a session, and why boudoir can become about so much more than the photos. We also talk confidence, getting older, seeing yourself differently, and why you don’t need to lose weight, change your body, or wait for some future “better” version of yourself before getting in front of the camera. It’s fun, honest, a little spicy, and very Bronze Medal Moms.

    Coffee Talk: In Sickness, True Crime & Creepy White Vans

    It’s our first Coffee Talk of Season 2, and we had a list of things to discuss. We barely made it through any of them. Amy is playing nurse after Steve’s major shoulder surgery, which somehow turns into a conversation about marriage, caregiving, and what “in sickness and in health” actually looks like when your spouse can’t even change his own shirt. Then we get to what we REALLY needed to discuss: Netflix’s The Pastor’s Wife. And we have thoughts. A LOT of thoughts. We’re talking coercive control, red flags, church culture, true crime, critical thinking, suspicious deaths, idiot criminals, and somehow even the creepy white van we were all taught to fear in the ’80s. Basically, it’s Coffee Talk exactly as it should be: completely unscripted and wildly off topic. Grab your coffee—or Amanda’s decidedly NOT coffee—and pull up a chair.

    Season 2 - We Are Back!

    WE’RE BACK! Season 2 of Bronze Medal Moms is officially here, and apparently we still haven’t figured out how to be perfect. Thank goodness. In our first episode back, we’re catching up on summer, Amy becoming the mom of a teenager, Amanda discovering that floating the river is apparently NOT entertaining enough for a 12-year-old, and the very different ways our kids handle homework, independence and the after-school emotional dump. We’re also sharing what’s changing for Season 2: a looser format, more guests, Coffee Talks, and more honest conversations about motherhood, marriage, friendships, our bodies, hormones, raising kids and all the things women are actually talking about with their friends. Plus, Bronze Medal Moms got a glow-up! Huge thanks to Erin Miller Photography for our new photos and website look. Check her out here: https://www.erinmillercreative.com There are plenty of places telling moms how to do motherhood better. This isn’t one of them. Pull up a chair. We’re still chasing bronze. 🥉 Connect with us and Join the Bronze Medal Mom Community: 🌐 www.bronzemedalmoms.com 📸 Instagram: @bronzemedalmoms "Mommin' Like a Rockstar" theme music by Jake Lowe.
