Bronze Medal Moms
Bronze Medal Moms is the podcast for women who are done chasing perfection and ready to embrace the beautifully messy reality of motherhood.
Hosted by Amy Welch and Amanda Grubb, two longtime friends and moms who are just trying to keep the wheels on the bus (literally and figuratively), this show is a celebration of the parents who show up late, forget picture day, serve cereal for dinner—and still love their kids like crazy.
Through honest conversations, hilarious confessions, and the occasional “oops,” Bronze Medal Moms reminds you that you don’t have to win gold to be doing a great job.
If you’ve ever felt like the only mom not crushing a Pinterest-worthy routine, this space is for you.
Because good enough is good enough. And bronze? Still a medal.

Episode 15: No New Things with author Ashlee Piper
Episode 15 – No New Things with Ashlee Piper
This week, Amy and Amanda welcome sustainability expert, political strategist, and author Ashlee Piper to the show — and she’s bringing some much-needed permission to stop the overspending and clutter spiral.
Ashlee’s new book, No New Things: A Radically Simple 30-Day Guide to Saving Money, the Planet, and Your Sanity, isn’t just about minimalism — it’s about mindfulness, money habits, and learning how less can actually feel like more.
Together, they dive into:
- Why “no new things” isn’t about deprivation — it’s about freedom
- The link between mental clutter, emotional spending, and motherhood
- Why we crave buying stuff when we’re overwhelmed, tired, or trying to self-soothe
- Ashlee’s refreshingly honest take on guilt, grace, and living with intention (not shame)
- How to raise kids without turning every moment into a shopping opportunity
- Small, realistic shifts you can make today that actually stick
Also covered: the Amazon trap, making “nothing” feel exciting again, and what Ashlee calls conscious laziness (spoiler: it’s genius). This episode is equal parts empowering, hilarious, and freeing — and no, you don’t have to throw away all or your stuff or stop shopping all together!
If you're craving more space and time — mentally, physically, and financially — this one’s for you.
