Mom Group Chat

This week’s episode is a true April catch-up… and it’s one of those conversations that feels like a deep exhale and a group hug at the same time.
Candace shares all about the girls’ joint birthday party at their house—what worked, what didn’t, and the sweet chaos of celebrating both girls together. She also recaps their recent trip to the Disney water park, including the fun, the logistics, and what it’s really like doing a water park with little kids.
Whitney opens up about the passing of her grandmother and shares what this loss has been like for her. It’s a tender moment in the episode, and a really honest look at grief, family, and processing big emotions… especially when you’re not someone who typically shares them out loud.
We also get into our Easter recaps and have a very real conversation about holiday burnout. By the time Easter rolls around, we are… tired. We talk about the pressure, the expectations, and what we’re starting to rethink when it comes to holidays as moms.
To wrap it up, we chat about upcoming trips—Candace heading to San Diego and Whitney going to the beach—and all the mixed emotions that come with getting away. The excitement, the anticipation, and of course… the anxiety of leaving your kids and stepping out of your routine.
It’s a little bit of everything this week—joy, grief, burnout, excitement—and we’re just talking through it like we always do.

Candace’s girls’ joint birthday party at home
A Disney water park trip with little kids

This week’s episode is a warm, cozy one. We’re soaking in this stage of motherhood and talking about how much we’re genuinely loving these ages. There’s something really special about being out of the baby phase and into a season where things feel a little more fun, a little more interactive, and honestly… a little more us again.
Before we get into all of that, Candace shares a very real behind-the-scenes look at prepping for Alice and Evie’s birthday party. From the mental load to the never-ending to-do list, it’s a full vent session on what actually goes into making the magic happen. And of course, major shoutout to Vinny for absolutely showing up and putting in the work to bring it all together.
On this episode:
The reality of party prep as a mom (the invisible load is real)
Appreciating a partner who steps up in big ways
Why this stage of motherhood feels so good
The little moments that are making us slow down and soak it all in
Finding more ease, connection, and fun in everyday mom life
If you’re in this season too or looking forward to it, this one will make you want to hug your kids a little tighter and remind you that some of the sweetest days are happening right now 💛

This week on Mom Group Chat, we’re diving deeper into the Values Bridge Test by Suzy Welch and actually putting it to the test ourselves. After talking about it in last week’s episode, we each took the assessment and…wow. Let’s just say it gave us a lot to think about.
We’re breaking down our results, where we overlap, where we’re totally different, and how it reflects in our lives as moms, partners, and business owners. It sparked some really honest conversations and helped us understand ourselves (and each other) on a whole new level.
If you’ve been feeling a little off, unsure, or just craving more alignment in your life, this episode will hit.
On this episode:
What the Values Bridge Test actually is and why it’s so eye-opening
Whitney’s results vs. Candace’s results
The biggest surprises we had about ourselves
How our values show up in motherhood and everyday decisions
Why understanding your values can make life feel a whole lot clearer
We highly recommend taking the test for yourself. It’s one of those things that just clicks.

This week on Mom Group Chat, Candace and Whitney are back with a classic catch-up episode. With spring in the air, the energy is shifting and the girls are feeling it. From birthday party planning chaos to a serious case of the “shopies,” they’re talking about what life looks like right now in their households and why they both feel that familiar itch to get out and experience life again.
Candace shares an update on planning a joint birthday party for Alice and Evelyn (because planning a kids party is practically a full-time job), while Whitney fills us in on Greydon’s latest T-ball adventures. Candace also gives a sports mom update with Alice starting hockey.
They also get into a fun conversation about the differences they’re noticing between raising girls and boys, and how those dynamics are playing out in everyday life.
Plus, the spring energy is real. The girls talk about their sudden urge to shop, refresh their lives, and maybe even book a vacation.
In this episode, they chat about:
Candace’s birthday party planning for Alice and Evelyn
The current case of the “shopies” (why do we suddenly want to buy everything?)
That spring feeling of wanting to get out, travel, and experience life
Whitney’s update on Greydon’s T-ball season
Candace’s update on Alice starting hockey
The funny and surprising differences between raising girls and boys
It’s a relaxed, honest catch-up filled with mom life updates, laughs, and a little springtime restlessness.
