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. 💛
