    Baby Watch: Will Jill Have to Escape Florida?

    13/03/2026 | 1h 5 mins.
    The moms are officially on baby watch! Jill is balancing wedding plans in Florida while keeping a close eye on Riley’s fast-approaching due date—but will she have to leave early if the baby decides to come sooner than expected? Could this new grandbaby mean Jill might move … and would she actually consider selling her house?
    Meanwhile, Kelly shares that she may also be thinking about a move, possibly selling her Florida place to be closer to her girls.

    Melissa catches the moms up on her recent vacation, but it’s not all relaxation—she’s dealing with ongoing HOA drama after both her dog and a neighbor’s dog were attacked in their neighborhood. Now Melissa admits she’s become a full-on helicopter dog mom to her newest pup.

    Plus, with the mall not being as convenient anymore, Jill is trying to embrace online shopping. The moms break down what they love (and hate) about e-commerce.

    Brookie Is a Mrs! 💍 The Wedding Recap You’ve Been Waiting For

    06/03/2026 | 1h 10 mins.
    Melissa, Jill, and Kelly are back together and this time it’s not about pyramids — it’s about wedding bells!
    They recap Brooke’s unforgettable wedding day — and yes, Brookie is officially a Mrs.!

    They’re sharing everything:
    How Kelly pulled off a dress at the VERY last minute (you truly won’t believe how close this was 😅) What went wrong, what went perfectly right, and the behind-the-scenes moments no one saw. Who cried? And why Brooke choosing to handle everything herself actually lowered Kelly’s stress and allowed her to experience the wedding like every other proud mom in the room

    Brooke did it completely her way — from the planning to the details — including making one thing very clear: not a single rhinestone anywhere near that dress. Just timeless, elegant, and perfectly her.

    The moms talk about how beautifully Brooke handled every detail and how the whole weekend turned into one of those core-memory moments they’ll never forget. Honestly… could wedding planning be Brooke’s hidden talent? Does she have a future in the industry?

    Fasnachts, Facials and First-Class Dreams

    27/02/2026 | 58 mins.
    This week, Jill and Melissa are holding down the fort while Kelly is missing in action — already in Florida and fully in wedding mode for Brooke’s big day!

    The moms recap their Valentine’s Day, self-care rituals, and everything in between. Jill shares about getting a much-needed massage and opens up about the emotional process of writing a eulogy for her aunt who recently passed — reflecting on family, love, and honoring someone special.

    Melissa brings a little Pennsylvania tradition to the conversation, explaining Fasnachts and Fasnacht Day, what they mean, and how she grew up celebrating. The conversation flows into skincare routines, nail appointments, and how self-care looks these days. Even Melissa’s new puppy Winnie is heading to her very first grooming (spa!) appointment.

    And in a fun twist, Jill and Melissa reveal who they would want to sit next to on a 16-hour flight if they had a choice of anyone living or dead.

    Melissa’s a Brat, Kelly’s Dress Is Missing & Jill’s Watching Pair Skating

    20/02/2026 | 1h
    This week, Melissa, Jill and Kelly are in full wedding prep mode — except there’s just one tiny problem: Kelly still doesn’t have a dress and Brooke’s wedding is NEXT WEEK. Panic levels? High. Alteration options? Questionable.

    As the glam plans roll in (nails, hair, makeup schedules — the works), they reveal that Brooke may be the most prepared bride of all time… complete with a full PowerPoint presentation for the bridal party. Yes, really. From timelines to seating charts, she’s running this wedding like a board meeting and we’re honestly impressed.

    Meanwhile, the moms are counting down the days until they can escape the freezing weather, binge-watching the Olympic Games, and obsessively tracking Team USA’s medal count. Jill, in particular, has entered her professional commentator era thanks to her full-blown pair skating obsession.

    And of course, we get into the Dance Moms tea. A listener asks the big question:
    Were Maddie — or any of the kids — actually brats in Season 1 of Dance Moms… or was it all editing?
    Plus, Melissa addresses the viral clip where she says she “doesn’t know what it feels like to lose.” Was that real brat energy… or producer manipulation?

    Florida Bound With Full Hearts: A Wedding Countdown!

    13/02/2026 | 1h 4 mins.
    Jill, Melissa, and Kelly are back together for a heartfelt catch-up that feels like sitting at the kitchen table with old friends. The episode kicks off with Melissa gushing about her new puppy and sharing how this little bundle of joy has unexpectedly helped her heal in the best way.

    As they chat, excitement builds around Brooke’s upcoming wedding. Brooke is already in Florida getting settled, Kelly is deep wedding mode and can’t believe the day is finally here after months of preparation, and Jill is counting down the days until everyone’s together. Paige, meanwhile, is living her best life in Milan for the Olympics, which sparks a bigger conversation about how surreal and grateful they all feel for the opportunities that came their way because of Dance Moms.

    Kelly shares some behind-the-scenes wedding details—including the shocking moment she found out Brooke’s venue required outdoor bathrooms… with a $15,000 price tag 😳—and what it’s like opening up her Florida home to family and friends for such a special weekend.

    The conversation turns reflective as the women look back on the Dance Moms years: juggling intense schedules and somehow holding their families together through chaos, pressure, and cameras. How did they manage it all?
