Episode Description from the Publisher

This week we're catching up after a busy weekend! Candace recaps Marin's bachelorette trip (yes, there are stories), and then the conversation takes a turn into something that's been weighing on both of our hearts: comparison in motherhood. With back-to-school season in full swing, social media can make it feel like everyone else is doing more, celebrating bigger, and somehow crushing every part of motherhood. But is that actually true? We talk about the pressure to keep up, how easy it is to compare yourself to someone else's highlight reel, and the reminder Whitney shares that we both needed to hear: no one is excelling in every area of life. Every mom has her strengths, every family has their struggles, and what you're seeing online is only one carefully curated piece of the picture. If you've been feeling like you're falling behind or wondering if you're doing enough, this episode is your reminder that you don't have to be everything to everyone. You're allowed to do motherhood your way. We hope this conversation leaves you feeling a little lighter, a little less alone, and a lot more confident in the mom you already are. ❤️ Keep up with the Moms and join the conversation on our socials: 📸 Instagram: @‌momgroupchat [https://www.instagram.com/momgroupchat/] 🎵 TikTok: @‌momgroupchat [https://www.tiktok.com/@momgroupchat] Questions/comments/need to vent?
