Why You're EXHAUSTED When You Finally Get To Relax
EP532. Have you ever noticed that the second you finally get a break, on vacation, or even just a quiet afternoon... you crash? That’s the let-down effect: when your body finally feels safe enough to relax, all the exhaustion you’ve been holding back shows up.
In this solo episode, Renee talks about what the let-down effect really is, why so many moms experience it, and three simple practices she is looking into that can help regulate your nervous system day-to-day:
1. Breath work to calm your body in the moment2. Journaling to process emotions and release mental clutter3. Cutting back on social media/phone use to give your brain real rest
If you feel like you’re constantly running on fumes, stuck in fight-or-flight, or crashing the second you get a break... this one’s for you.

Vanessa Bennett on Telling Ourselves the Truth
Ep531. This week, Renee is joined by psychotherapist and author Vanessa Bennett to unpack her new book The Motherhood Myth and push back against the pressure to be a “perfect” parent. They dive into breaking generational patterns, why honesty is the antidote to mom guilt, and how to give yourself permission to parent differently than the models you grew up with. This conversation is raw, validating, and a powerful reminder that you’re not doing it wrong — it’s the myth that is.
Vanessa’s new book “The Motherhood Myth” is available wherever books are sold.
