Summary
In this episode, Jill, Kelly, and Melissa ease into the new year together as they officially say goodbye to Christmas and reflect on what this season of life looks like now. They talk about the pressure of social media, “if you don’t post it, did it even happen?” mentality, and why sometimes living in the moment matters more than sharing it. Even though their kids are grown, the moms laugh about how they’re still very much needed—proved in real time when each of them gets FaceTime calls from their kids during the podcast. Melissa opens up about still struggling with the trauma of losing her dog, the complicated feelings of anger and grief that come with it.... all while debating whether she’s ready to welcome another dog into her life. The conversation also turns reflective as the moms discuss confidence—whether they ever struggled with it themselves, and how it showed up for the girls on Dance Moms.
