Bronze Medal Moms

Amy & Amanda

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

    Episode 42: 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!

    Episode 41: 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!

    Episode 40: 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!

    Episode 39: 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.

    Episode 38: 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!

    Episode 37: Chasing Sunshine with Jennifer Haas: Gratitude, Dreams & Starting Again

    “Chasing Sunshine with Jennifer Haas: Gratitude, Dreams & Starting Again” We are kicking off our very first episode of 2026 with a conversation that feels exactly right for a fresh new year. If you’ve been craving a reset that doesn’t involve resolutions, perfection, or starting over by February… this one’s for you. This week on Bronze Medal Moms, Amy and Amanda sit down with someone who embodies the heart of this podcast: giving yourself grace, finding purpose in the chaos, and celebrating the small wins that make motherhood feel a little lighter. Our guest, Jennifer Haas, is a former teacher turned nonprofit founder, yoga instructor, speaker, and now author of the brand-new gratitude journal Chasing Sunshine. Born from her own journey navigating a physical disability and learning to “do what you can, with what you have, in the moment you're in,” Jennifer has turned gratitude into her superpower — and a daily practice that carried her through some of her darkest seasons. In this grounding and inspiring New Year episode, we talk about:  ✨ Why moms naturally slip into “lack thinking” — and how gratitude pulls us out  ✨ How gratitude is NOT toxic positivity (you can be grateful and overwhelmed) ✨ Why it’s never too late to pivot — whether you're 25, 35, 45, or 65 ✨ The simple structure of her 90-day journal that even busy moms can actually stick to Jennifer’s story is the perfect way to open the year — a reminder that beautiful things grow when we slow down, take inventory of the good, and give ourselves a little room to breathe. Grab your coffee, gut health drink, or something stronger if you’re listening after bedtime, and settle in for an episode that sets the tone for a grounded, intentional, joy-chasing 2026.

    Episode 36: RE-RELEASE: Dinnertime

    This week, Amy and Amanda are taking a holiday break, so we are re-releasing a fan favorite episode - Dinnertime.  🍽 Episode 2: Dinnertime – Is This Even a Thing Anymore? Remember family dinners around the table? Yeah… we barely do too. In this episode, Amy and Amanda tackle the chaotic reality of modern mealtime—from kids who graze like wild animals to husbands asking, “What’s for dinner?” as if we had a plan. We’re talking cereal as a backup, dinner at 4 p.m. (or 9p), the death of the traditional meal, and why no one in our house seems to like the same thing. Spoiler: we’re not gourmet chefs—we’re survivalists with air fryers. So grab your cold coffee, your reheated leftovers, or whatever’s in the pantry, and pull up a seat. Because if dinner feels like a daily disaster at your house... you're not alone. This is Bronze Medal Moms—and we’re serving up honesty, humor, and maybe a side of dino nuggets. 👉 Connect with us!
