Episode Synopsis

Episode 20: Lice (Yes, We’re Itching Just Saying It)We’re going there: head lice. It’s itchy, emotional, humbling—and it happens to the best of us. Amy and Amanda swap their very real, very cringey stories (including the “heat rash” that… wasn’t, the RV trip, the 9pm rescue by a lice-removal angel, olive-oil home treatments, phantom itches, and why schools don’t always call). Then we bust the biggest myths and walk through what actually helps—without burning your house (or the Squishmallows) to the ground. We cover what lice are and how they spread (spoiler: they crawl, they don’t jump), why clean hair is easier for them to cling to, what to clean (wash bedding hot, bag stuffed animals for a couple days, vacuum the couch), and when to call in the pros vs. DIY with a good metal comb and patience. Most importantly, we ditch the shame—lice don’t mean you’re dirty or a bad parent. They mean you’re a parent… in the trenches.✨ Perfect for: parents staring at the “is that… a nit?” moment, anyone tempted to boil the sheets, and moms who need permission to replace panic with a plan (and a little laughter).👉 If you’re mid-itch spiral: listen in, share this with the friend you’re about to text “HEADS UP,” and leave a quick review so more bronze medal moms find practical help without the shame. 💛🌐 Visit us: www.bronzemedalmoms.com 📸 Instagram: @bronzemedalmoms 🎧 New episodes drop weekly—subscribe, leave a review, and send this one to your mom group!👉 Contact Us: We love hearing from you!
