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.
