Mom Group Chat

What does a life coach actually do? And do you really need one if you already listen to podcasts, read the books, and consume all the self-development content?This week, we’re joined by life coach and mom of two Lindsey Mango for a conversation about coaching, motherhood, and the massive identity shift that happens when you become a mom. Lindsey breaks down what life coaching really looks like, how it differs from therapy, and the difference between consuming inspirational content and actually being coached.We also get into the stuff so many moms are quietly navigating: feeling like you’ve lost yourself, tying your worth to productivity, mom guilt, perfectionism, self-trust, and figuring out who you are on the other side of becoming a mother.Plus, Lindsey shares some of the coaching she finds herself giving moms over and over again, what she’s learning in her own season of motherhood, and why small, consistent mindset shifts can make such a big difference.Whether you’ve worked with a coach before, have always been curious about coaching, or have secretly wondered “isn’t that basically just therapy?” this episode is for you.Connect with Lindsey:Instagram: @lindseymango_Join Mango Magic Audio Drops: https://lindseymangocoaching.mykajabi.com/a/2148299474/Tw8m4pucKeep up with the Moms and join the conversation on our socials:📸 Instagram: @‌momgroupchat🎵 TikTok: @‌momgroupchatQuestions/comments/need to vent?

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🎵 TikTok: @‌momgroupchatQuestions/comments/need to vent?

Summer has a way of bringing body image to the forefront, doesn't it? In this episode, we're having an honest conversation about where we're both at with our bodies this summer and how our mindset has shifted over the years.We talk about why body image isn't something you "fix" once and for all, but more like a wave that comes and goes. We share the things that help us feel good mentally and physically, how we've learned to detach our worth from what our bodies look like, and the little mindset shifts that help us stop the comparison spiral before it takes over.If you've ever dreaded putting on a swimsuit, found yourself comparing your body to someone else's, or just needed the reminder that you're not alone, this conversation is for you.Keep up with the Moms and join the conversation on our socials:📸 Instagram: @‌momgroupchat🎵 TikTok: @‌momgroupchatQuestions/comments/need to vent?
