Mom Group Chat

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 we’re joined by Suzy Welch—3x New York Times bestselling author and expert on clarity and decision-making—and we take everything she teaches and run it through the lens of motherhood. Because let’s be honest… becoming a mom can completely shake your sense of identity.
We dive into values—what they actually are, how to define them, and why so many moms feel off when they’re not living in alignment with them. This conversation is for anyone who feels like they’ve lost a piece of themselves and wants a way to reconnect, make more aligned decisions, and create a life that actually feels good.
💬 In this episode:
What values are and why they matter
Why motherhood can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself
How to define your own values
Using your values to guide decisions and daily life
Creating alignment in a full, busy season

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.

This week on Mom Group Chat, we’re sitting down with the incredibly talented and refreshingly honest Kathleen Ashmore — the creator behind Kat Can Cook. From working for Martha Stewart to building her own food platform and navigating motherhood in real time, Kathleen shares the evolution of her career, her identity, and her relationship with cooking.
This episode is for the moms who have ever wondered:
Who am I now?
What does ambition look like in this season?
And how do I get dinner on the table without losing my mind?
We talk about all of it.
In this episode, we cover:
Kathleen’s transition into motherhood and how it reshaped her identity
Her experience as a stay-at-home mom and what that season taught her
How her relationship with cooking has evolved over the years
Behind-the-scenes stories from her time working for Martha Stewart
Feeding kids without making 47 separate meals
Easy, realistic recipes for busy families
Letting go of perfection in the kitchen
What it looks like to build something of your own while raising kids
Kathleen brings such a grounded, calming perspective to the conversation. She reminds us that cooking doesn’t have to be complicated to be meaningful — and that feeding our families can feel nourishing for us, too.

If you’ve been listening for a while, you know Whitney.
But do you really know Whitney?
In this episode, we’re flipping the mic and diving deeper into the woman behind the one-liners, the calm presence, and the steady wisdom on Mom Group Chat.
We talk about:
How motherhood has changed her 10+ year marriage (the good, the hard, and the unexpected)
What’s shifted in her identity since becoming a mom
The real dynamic of balancing partnership while raising kids
Her favorite place to shop for home decor and the vibe she’s always going for at home
The parts of her personality that don’t always show up on the podcast
How she wants to be remembered here at Mom Group Chat
It’s reflective. It’s honest. It’s a little nostalgic. And it might surprise you.
If you’re new here, this is the perfect episode to get to know Whitney on a deeper level. And if you’ve been around for a while, we think you’ll love seeing another layer of her heart.
We hope this one feels like you’re right here in the room with us. 💛
