Ep 129EP129. Relationship Compassion

EP129. We hear 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!

Ep 107EP107. The Modern Day "Village"

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.
