EP563. In this solo episode of The Mom Room, I’m sharing realistic advice for moms navigating the holiday season with little ones. We talk about letting routines and rules go, releasing the pressure to make everything perfect, handling unsolicited parenting comments, protecting your energy, and why it’s so important to be present, and in the photos!

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, or like you’re not doing “enough,” this episode is a reminder that you’re doing better than you think, and that this season doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful.

EP562. If you’ve ever cleaned a toilet and thought, how is this even possible, this episode is for you.

This week, I’m flying solo and talking about one of the least glamorous parts of motherhood: living with young boys and the absolute horror show that is the bathroom.

And then… there are the dogs.

I love them. They’re adorable. They are also disgusting. From eating their own poop (why????) to casually dripping urine on furniture like it’s no big deal, our two Pomeranians are truly feral roommates.

This episode is part rant, part therapy, and part reassurance that if your house smells weird and you’re constantly cleaning bodily fluids that aren’t your own... you’re not alone.

EP561. The holiday season seems like a great time to talk about mom burnout! So, please enjoy this throwback to one of my favourite episodes! One of our most popular guests, Dr. Ashurina Ream, is back in The Mom Room to discuss burnout. The conversation naturally leads to this new age of intensive parenting and how that increases the likelihood of burnout. Dr. Ream offers small steps you can take to break the intensive cycle, how to bring it up to your partner, and the pendulum swing from disengaged parenting to millennials trying to heal.  

Be sure to follow Dr. Ashurina Ream @psychedmommy, and check out Episode 261 for her previous appearance!

EP560. A solo episode that feels like a big exhale.

I’m talking about the shift from the Year of the Snake (2025) in to the Year of the Horse (2026), and why it feels wildly accurate in my own life. From starting Vyvanse and finally feeling clarity in my brain, to ending friendships that no longer fit, leaving my management, and yes… taking out my extensions, this year has been full of big, necessary changes.

If you’re in a season of shedding, resetting, or questioning everything, this one’s for you, and for anyone who’s looking ahead to 2026 hoping for a little more calm and a lot more clarity.

EP559. This week in The Mom Room, Renee is surviving on cough drops and sarcasm as she battles a full-on case of bronchitis. Between hacking up a lung and trying to rest, she stumbles across a TikTok about ADHD medication that completely stops her in her tracks and opens up an eye-opening discussion about symptoms, stigma, and why these conversations matter.

Meanwhile, Milo receives an old-school chain letter in the mail, and Renee is torn: she loves the nostalgia… but also, why does everything adorable come with more tasks for moms?

And after seven blissful years of avoiding it, guess who now has their very own Elf on the Shelf? Yep. Renee explains how she was dragged... lovingly but reluctantly... into elf life, and what that means for the holiday season.

Just another week in The Mom Room!

EP558. Welcome to this rewind episode where Renee was a guest on Dear Dr. Tracy with Dr. Tracy Dalgleish. Renee broke the internet back in 2020 when she started a conversation about how annoying it was when her husband would make pancakes on Saturday morning. Dr. Tracy & Renee break this down in this episode. Send this to a mom friend. She'll love it!
