Spice Up Your Life Revisit, with Vanessa & Xander Marin Aug 20, 2024

EP428. Vanessa Marin, LMFT and her husband, Xander are the authors of Sex Talks: The Five Conversations That Will Transform Your Love Life. One common issue that comes up in marriage post-baby is a lack of intimacy and a loss of connection. We think sex should happen spontaneously and naturally, and that we shouldn't need to do anything to feel desire. It often does feel that way in the beginning of relationships, meaning that couples never have meaningful conversations about sex, what turns them on, what they need to feel connected, or learn how to navigate sexual conflict effectively. So when the honeymoon phase wears off, and the spark dims, couples are left feeling lost if their sex life doesn't live up to what it used to be. In this Episode, Vanessa and Xander help us discover what type of sex drive, sex personality type, and initiation style you have, and then they get into the five essential conversations that every romantic couple should have.

Tiffani Thiessen on motherhood, advice for her younger self, and her new cookbook, Here We Go Again! Sep 19, 2023

EP331. We all grew up watching Tiffani Thiessen on the cult classic television series, Saved By The Bell. Now, Tiffani is in The Mom Room talking motherhood, advice she would give her younger self, feeding kids, meal prep vs. meal planning, and her new cookbook Here We Go Again!

HERE WE GO AGAIN is Tiffani’s second cookbook and is a love letter to her childhood. The theme — "recipes and inspiration to level up your leftovers" — is a topic that Tiffani has been well versed in growing up. "I think it's about really approaching leftovers differently and showing that you don't have to make the same thing or eat the same thing as a traditional leftover. It's really the pieces from your leftovers that you can actually make into something completely different," says Thiessen.

EP296. After a week of epic bedtime battles, Renee is finally ready to talk honestly about it! Why does no one talk about the absolute nightmare that can be bedtime battles?

What does the current research on attachment tell us about how attachment patterns develop? And, how we can understand the 70%/30% mismatch/match ratio that everyone is talking about.

EP283. Talking Sex with Vanessa & Xander Marin Apr 04, 2023

EP283. Vanessa Marin, LMFT and her husband, Xander are the authors of Sex Talks: The Five Conversations That Will Transform Your Love Life. One common issue that comes up in marriage post-baby is a lack of intimacy and a loss of connection. We think sex should happen spontaneously and naturally, and that we shouldn't need to do anything to feel desire. It often does feel that way in the beginning of relationships, meaning that couples never have meaningful conversations about sex, what turns them on, what they need to feel connected, or learn how to navigate sexual conflict effectively. So when the honeymoon phase wears off, and the spark dims, couples are left feeling lost if their sex life doesn't live up to what it used to be. In this Episode, Vanessa and Xander help us discover what type of sex drive, sex personality type, and initiation style you have, and then they get into the five essential conversations that every romantic couple should have.

Being a surgeon is tough but, you get all the respect in the world and no one would ever call you angry or question you if you complained about the difficulties of your job. From the health care system to society in general, from our own family and friends to our employers, mothers are not respected and yes, we're angry about it.

Renee also gives a review of The Woman Across the Street.... it's a hilarious review because she literally watched it thinking it was an actual psychological thriller.

EP129. Relationship Compassion Sep 30, 2021

EP129. Wehear a lot about self-compassion but, we hear nothing about "relationship compassion". Having compassion for the relationship you have with your significant other. Having children is a major life transition and many couples find that their relationship changes drastically post-baby. We compare our relationship to other couples we see on social media. We question ourselves because our relationship isn't what it used to be. It's time to practice relationship compassion!

EP107. The Modern Day "Village" Jul 15, 2021

EP107. We've all heard the proverb "it takes a village to raise a child." Back in the day this made sense. Extended families lived near-by and neighbours were considered family. Today, many of us live far away from our family. We don't have close relationships with our neighbours. For the most part, we are raising our children on our own. In this episode, Renee breaks down what a modern day "village" looks like and why you should be considering teachers, nannies, trainers, and the UberEats guy, members of your village.
