Amy and Amanda are talking all things Valentine’s Day — and the pressure moms put on themselves to make it perfect. The gifts. The parties. The class Valentines. The expectations. The comparison. All of it.

We’re breaking down why Valentine’s Day can feel like chaos disguised as love, and why it’s time to lower the bar and take the pressure all the way off. From the surprisingly dark history of Valentine’s Day, to gas-station candy, crab leg traditions, and the infamous year Amy made her daughter handwrite every Valentine (spoiler: it took 800 years), this episode is full of laughter, real talk, and permission to do less.

Whether Valentine’s Day for you is a card, a drive-thru, crab legs at home, Galentine’s snacks with friends, or just everyone being quiet after 8 p.m. — it all counts.

If you’ve ever felt like you were doing Valentine’s Day wrong, this episode is your reminder: you’re not. Bronze still shines. 💛

Amy and Amanda dive into a topic that hit a nerve with a lot of moms: mean mom energy, exclusion, and why motherhood can sometimes feel like high school all over again.

Sparked by the viral Ashley Tisdale mom-group story, this conversation goes way beyond celebrity headlines and into real life — the group texts you’re not on, the invitations that don’t come, the assumptions we make, and the quiet hurt that can come with feeling left out. But this episode isn’t about piling on or mom-shaming. It’s about nuance, grace, and telling the difference between actual mean behavior and miscommunication fueled by busy, overloaded lives.

Amy and Amanda share personal stories (including a very telling bathroom conversation at a massive theater festival), talk through how easily misunderstandings escalate, and unpack why assuming bad intent often creates drama that never needed to exist in the first place. They also get honest about when behavior is mean — gossip, judgment disguised as concern, and intentional exclusion — and how to respond without escalating or losing yourself.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Is it me?” or felt that quiet sting of not belonging, this episode is a reminder: you’re not alone — and you’re not doing it wrong. Lead with grace, communicate directly, and remember: bronze still shines. 💛

It’s Coffee Talk — our fan-favorite episode where we show up with coffee, opinions, and zero plan. ☕️

Amy is fresh off the Junior Theater Festival in Atlanta (6,000 musical theatre kids, a “pony circle” that sounds like a mosh pit, and yes… they came home with a trophy and a virus). Meanwhile Amanda’s recovering from regular-life chaos and sharing the kind of mom truths we all need to hear: dads can parent too, and moms are allowed to have their own lives.

Then we get into the important January questions:
🎄 Is your Christmas tree still up… and should we stop stripping joy from our houses in the dead of winter?
🍷 Are you doing Dry January, “dry-ish,” or absolutely not? (No judgment either way.)
📺 And what are we binge-watching right now — from Heated Rivalry to documentaries that will either relax you or completely stress you out (hello, Free Solo + Everest).

If January feels weird, slow, and a little bare… you’re not alone. You’re doing it perfectly. 💛
