    Florida Bound With Full Hearts: A Wedding Countdown!

    Jill, Melissa, and Kelly are back together for a heartfelt catch-up that feels like sitting at the kitchen table with old friends. The episode kicks off with Melissa gushing about her new puppy and sharing how this little bundle of joy has unexpectedly helped her heal in the best way. As they chat, excitement builds around Brooke’s upcoming wedding. Brooke is already in Florida getting settled, Kelly is deep wedding mode and can’t believe the day is finally here after months of preparation, and Jill is counting down the days until everyone’s together. Paige, meanwhile, is living her best life in Milan for the Olympics, which sparks a bigger conversation about how surreal and grateful they all feel for the opportunities that came their way because of Dance Moms. Kelly shares some behind-the-scenes wedding details—including the shocking moment she found out Brooke’s venue required outdoor bathrooms… with a $15,000 price tag 😳—and what it’s like opening up her Florida home to family and friends for such a special weekend. The conversation turns reflective as the women look back on the Dance Moms years: juggling intense schedules and somehow holding their families together through chaos, pressure, and cameras.

    Cold Weather, Hot Tea & Brooke’s Birthday

    Jill, Melissa, and Kelly are back catching up on everything—starting with the brutal cold weather hitting close to home and the wild Tennessee ice storms where trees were literally exploding. The moms share a sweet update on Riley and how her pregnancy is going, plus Jill’s upcoming trip to visit and help get the nursery ready. They dive into thoughts on paid paternity leave for dads, obsess over how cute (and stylish!) pregnancy clothes are these days, and then shift gears into sports talk—because Pittsburgh is having a moment with the Penguins officially back in the win column. The moms talk about escaping the winter weather and heading to Florida to celebrate Brooke’s wedding. They also attempt—attempt being the key word—to wrap their heads around the Blake Lively and Taylor Swift text message drama… and quickly admit they’re very confused but have plenty of opinions anyway!

    Baby Showers, Bridal Showers & the Reality of Raising Kids on Camera

    This week, Melissa, Jill, and Kelly are catching up on life’s biggest moments—both joyful and challenging. From prepping for Brooke’s bridal shower to getting ready for Riley’s baby shower, the moms share what it’s like celebrating major milestones while juggling everyday responsibilities. Kelly opens up about not feeling her best, and the conversation turns to making healthier choices in the new year, including how they approach nutrition and using supplements to help fill in the gaps when life gets busy. The moms also reflect on their time on Dance Moms and the real struggles of being on the road—how exhausting it was for both them and their kids, and how that lifestyle affected family dynamics. They dive into one of the hardest topics: discipline under pressure. What was it really like trying to parent and correct behavior while cameras were rolling and other kids were watching? They talk about the balancing act of discipline and empathy, especially when a child lashed out or showed attitude because of stress, exhaustion, or what they were going through emotionally.  Join us on Patreon for video, exclusive content, live chats and more! https://www.patreon.com/deardancemom Have a question for the moms?

    Still Moms, Even When They’re Grown

    In this episode, Jill, Kelly, and Melissa ease into the new year together as they officially say goodbye to Christmas and reflect on what this season of life looks like now. They talk about the pressure of social media, “if you don’t post it, did it even happen?” mentality, and why sometimes living in the moment matters more than sharing it. Even though their kids are grown, the moms laugh about how they’re still very much needed—proved in real time when each of them gets FaceTime calls from their kids during the podcast. Melissa opens up about still struggling with the trauma of losing her dog, the complicated feelings of anger and grief that come with it.... all while debating whether she’s ready to welcome another dog into her life. The conversation also turns reflective as the moms discuss confidence—whether they ever struggled with it themselves, and how it showed up for the girls on Dance Moms.  Join us for video, exclusive content, live chats and more! https://www.patreon.com/c/deardancemom Have a question for the moms?
