## Resource

This week on Mom Group Chat, we're diving into the celebrity mom-group drama that has been everywhere — and unpacking why it hit such a nerve. We break down what actually happened with Ashley Tisdale, Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore, and the now-viral conversation around "toxic" mom groups, exclusion, and evolving friendships in adulthood. From subtle social media moves to public reactions (including when partners get involved 👀), we talk through what's fact, what's speculation, and why this story feels so familiar to so many moms. Because let's be honest — you don't have to be famous to know what it's like to outgrow a friend group, feel left out, or realize a dynamic just isn't serving you anymore. We also shift gears and recap some of our favorite moments from the Golden Globe Awards — from standout looks to pop-culture moments that had everyone talking, plus our totally unqualified but very passionate opinions. ✨ In this episode, we chat about: * What makes a mom group feel supportive vs. draining * Whether "toxic" is the right word — or just a reflection of misalignment * How adult friendships change after kids * The role of social media in amplifying private experiences * Why this drama resonated with so many women * Our Golden Globes highlights, fashion moments, and pop culture takes As always, this is a judgment-free, sides-not-taken conversation — just real talk about motherhood, friendships, and navigating relationships in this season of life. Grab your coffee (or wine), and let's chat. 💬 Keep up with the Moms and join the conversation on our socials: 📸 Instagram: @‌momgroupchat [https://www.instagram.com/momgroupchat/] 🎵 TikTok: @‌momgroupchat [https://www.tiktok.com/@momgroupchat] Questions/comments/need to vent?
