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 30: Holidays on a Budget - Joy, Chaos and Saving Your Sanity
🎧 EP 30: Holidays on a Budget — Joy, Chaos & Saving Your Sanity
The holidays are magical… and also emotionally and financially expensive. In this episode, Amy and Amanda get brutally honest (and hilariously relatable) about creating holiday magic without blowing the budget, losing your mind, or panic-buying toys your kids will ignore by February.
From matching family pajamas and unnecessary “filler gifts,” to grandparents who derail your present strategy, to decorating, meal planning, and the pressure to do all the holiday things — the moms unpack what Christmas really costs us, and what actually matters to our kids (spoiler: it’s not the number of gifts).
They share their best Bronze Medal budgeting tips:
✨ How to avoid panic shopping
✨ Experience gifts vs. stuff
✨ Smart ways to decorate without overspending
✨ Black Friday hacks
✨ Using resale groups like a mom superhero
✨ And why you should absolutely ask your kids what traditions they care about to keep your sanity this holiday season
Plus — the chaos of raising kids ages 3 to 12, the agony of Lego sets, Stranger Things ruining holiday schedules, and the truth about moms carrying the mental load of holiday “magic.”
This episode is your reminder that joy doesn’t have to be expensive — and a Bronze Medal Christmas is still a podium-worthy win.
