Candace Donnelly
Mom Group Chat

The podcast for moms who are not perfect… just trying their absolute best.

Welcome to the place where motherhood gets honest, hilarious, comforting, and a little unhinged in the best way.

We're Candace and Whitney: best friends, moms, and professional overthinkers who have spent the last four years sending each other countless messages and voice notes about everything from fertility to making mom friends to "please tell me your toddler is doing this too 🥴."

So we took the chaos from the group chat to the mic, yogurt stains and all.

This is the show for moms who:

  • love their kids but also love hiding in the car for 10 minutes

  • feel grateful, exhausted, overstimulated, and obsessed all at once

  • want to hear from women who get it… no, who really do get it

  • laugh so they don't cry (or cry because they're laughing)

Motherhood is beautiful. Motherhood is hard. Motherhood is a LOT. And you don't have to figure it out alone.

Like catching up with your funniest mom friends.
