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.

What we talk about:

• Candace’s girls’ joint birthday party at home
• A Disney water park trip with little kids
• Whitney sharing the loss of her grandmother
• Navigating grief and opening up emotionally
• Easter recap + honest thoughts on holiday burnout
• The pressure of making holidays “magical”
• Upcoming trips (San Diego + beach getaway)
• The excitement and anxiety of traveling as moms

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.
