The Mom Room

EP571. In this solo episode, Renee dives into a surprisingly heated topic: why some moms cannot accept that other women have equal partners. After a Reddit comment accused her of being “lazy” because her husband does school drop-off, Renee unpacks the bigger cultural issues behind reactions like this.She discusses why an involved dad is still seen as a threat to traditional motherhood roles, how internalized misogyny leads women to attack other women instead of the actual problem, and why cognitive dissonance and jealousy play a huge role in mom-to-mom judgment.This episode explores mom-martyr culture, equal partnership, mental load, and the emotional triggers that arise when women see support they themselves haven’t received. If you’ve ever felt judged for having help, or wished your partner showed up more, this is a validating, honest, and deeply relatable listen.Topics include:• Mom martyrdom and outdated expectations• Why equal partnership challenges people• Internalized misogyny and mom-to-mom policing• Jealousy disguised as moral judgment• What it actually means to have support in motherhood• The real story behind Renee’s “drop-off drama”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

EP570. This week, Renee is joined by Tyler Champagne (@Heated_Seats) for a candid conversation about balancing parenting with content creation. Tyler shares his journey from making car content to becoming a widely followed parenting creator after becoming a dad, and how one exhausted, sleep-deprived rant after his son’s birth shifted everything. Together, they talk openly about labor and delivery trauma, unrealistic expectations around new parenthood, and the shock of bringing a newborn home without truly knowing what’s ahead.The conversation dives deep into postpartum, mental load, and default parenting — including Tyler’s viral Understanding Postpartum for Dads series and the unexpected response from moms who felt seen for the first time. Renee and Tyler explore why postpartum is still so misunderstood, how partners can better support new moms, and why small, intentional actions from dads can make a huge difference.Find Tyler:IG: @heated_seatsTikTok: @champagnetylerFacebook: Tyler ChampagneSponsors:Quince - Refresh your wardrobe with Quince.

Ep568. Welcome back, Mom Roomers! This week, Renee sits down with Pam Stepnick, mother of Logan and Jake Paul, to talk candidly about what it’s really like raising kids whose lives unfold in front of millions. Pam opens up about navigating fame without a parenting handbook, balancing fear and faith, and learning when to guide, when to step back, and when to simply hold steady. They cover everything from mental health and sibling rivalry under a public microscope to the realities of social media for families — and why presence matters more than perfection. It’s an honest, grounded conversation about motherhood, resilience, and trusting your kids while protecting your own peace along the way.
