The Mom Room

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.RENEE REINAwww.themomroom.comInstagram: @themomroompodcast | @thereneereinaTikTok: @thereneereinaFacebook CommunityYoutube: Renee Reina- The Mom Room PodcastInstagram: @tiffanithiessenSPONSORSLittle Spoon.12 Hour Sound Machines.Delavie Sciences.

EP288. There are always so many topics that I want to discuss/rant about. In this episode I explain what I think the difference is between people-pleasing & just being kind. This discussion comes after someone told me I should be worried that another mom told me her daughter said Milo is the nice boy in the class. I also get into why in the hell everyone feels entitled to a woman's birth/new born baby... the horror story DMs I keep receiving about people's experiences with this blows my mind! I explain what I would tell the sobbing, sleep deprived mom whose TikTok went viral.RENEE REINAwww.themomroom.comInstagram: @themomroompodcast | @themomroomTikTok: @reneereina_Facebook CommunityYoutube: Renee Reina- The Mom Room PodcastSPONSORSSuperGut.

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.RENEE REINAwww.themomroom.comInstagram: @themomroompodcast | @reneereina_TikTok: @reneereina_Facebook CommunityYoutube: Renee Reina- The Mom Room PodcastVanessa & XanderInstagram: @vanessaandxanderSPONSORSAthletic GreensHelloFreshLume Learn more about your ad choices.

EP282. The mental load of motherhood no one talks about: researching nutrition, sleep, parenting strategies, developmental milestones, consuming parenting content, reading product reviews, and then relaying all this information to your partner.
