Mom Group Chat

Mom Group Chat is a podcast for moms who are not perfect, but trying their best. We’re three best friends who have spent the past two years blowing up each other's phones for honest conversation around how our lives took a full 180 in the blink of an eye. We’re tired, we’re covered in yogurt, we’re obsessed with our baby’s chubby cheeks, we’re happiest alone in the car, and we’re trying to make sense of it all in our group chat. Join us as we take the conversation from the phone to the mic and dive into topics like mom guilt, family dynamics, pregnancy and fertility, healthy coping mechanisms 🧘🏻‍♀️, not so healthy coping mechanisms 🍷, female friendships 💞, trying to find one *single* pair of jeans that work for your postpartum body, and so much more. We’ll have guests, experts, and hear from our community because it takes a village, ya’ll. Bring your sense of humor because if you’re not laughing through motherhood, you’re probably crying. The only people that understand what it’s really like to be a mom, are other moms. So, hand the kids to dad for a few and welcome to our Mom Group Chat.

    EP 157: Postpartum Mental Health

    This week’s episode is a heavier one, but an important one. We’re talking about the heartbreaking news of Hayden Panettiere’s passing and reflecting on her very public experience with postpartum depression, anxiety, addiction, and the complicated reality of becoming a mother when motherhood doesn’t feel the way you were told it would. We also touch lightly on the Lindsay Clancy trial and the larger conversation it has brought back to the forefront around postpartum mental health, including the important distinction between postpartum depression, anxiety, and postpartum psychosis. But more than anything, this episode is about the part of postpartum that so many women struggle to say out loud. We spend our entire lives hearing that motherhood is magical. That meeting your baby will be the happiest moment of your life. That you’ll soak up every second. So what happens when you have your baby and you don’t feel that way? Candace and Whitney both share their own experiences with postpartum mental health, the shame that can come with struggling during a season you’re “supposed” to love, and why it can feel so incredibly hard to admit that you’re not okay. In this episode, we talk about: Hayden Panettiere’s openness about postpartum depression and anxiety The Lindsay Clancy trial and the conversation surrounding postpartum mental health The difference between postpartum depression/anxiety and postpartum psychosis Our own experiences with mental health after becoming mothers The pressure to experience motherhood as magical and joyful Why shame keeps so many moms from talking about what they’re actually experiencing Why postpartum care needs to include so much more care for the motherThis conversation includes discussion of postpartum depression, anxiety, psychosis, addiction, suicide, and the deaths of children. Please take care while listening. If you are struggling during pregnancy or postpartum, please know that what you’re experiencing deserves to be taken seriously. Reach out to your healthcare provider or someone you trust for support.

    EP 156: The Mindf*ck of Motherhood with Lindsey Mango

    What does a life coach actually do? And do you really need one if you already listen to podcasts, read the books, and consume all the self-development content?This week, we’re joined by life coach and mom of two Lindsey Mango for a conversation about coaching, motherhood, and the massive identity shift that happens when you become a mom. Lindsey breaks down what life coaching really looks like, how it differs from therapy, and the difference between consuming inspirational content and actually being coached. We also get into the stuff so many moms are quietly navigating: feeling like you’ve lost yourself, tying your worth to productivity, mom guilt, perfectionism, self-trust, and figuring out who you are on the other side of becoming a mother. Plus, Lindsey shares some of the coaching she finds herself giving moms over and over again, what she’s learning in her own season of motherhood, and why small, consistent mindset shifts can make such a big difference. Whether you’ve worked with a coach before, have always been curious about coaching, or have secretly wondered “isn’t that basically just therapy?” this episode is for you.
