It's Mother's Day - AND our one-year podcast anniversary!!

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the pressure, expectations, and quiet disappointments that can come with Mother’s Day—and giving you full permission to do it differently this year. From the history of how this holiday started (and how it went off the rails), to real-life stories of first Mother’s Days, unmet expectations, and learning to actually ask for what you want… we’re saying the quiet parts out loud.

We’re also celebrating a huge milestone—one full year of Bronze Medal Moms—and sharing what this past year has taught us about motherhood, community, and why “bronze medal energy” might just be the secret to surviving (and even enjoying) it all.

We talk about:

• Why Mother’s Day can feel more exhausting than relaxing
• The myth of the “perfect” day (and how to let it go)
• Why your partner probably needs instructions (yes, really)
• How to actually get what you want on Mother’s Day
• Showing up for single moms in a meaningful way
• What a year of real conversations with moms has taught us

If you’ve ever ended Mother’s Day thinking “wait… was that it?”—this one’s for you.

Because around here, we’re not aiming for perfect… we’re aiming for real.
