• Overconsumption: It's Destroying Our Focus, Attention Span, and Productivity

  EP524. In this solo episode, Renee is diving headfirst into something that’s been messing with all of us lately—overconsumption. From TikToks to podcasts to endless Instagram scrolling, Renee shares how one eye-opening TikTok slapped her across the face (figuratively, of course) and made her realize just how much content she's consuming—and how it’s slowly eroding her focus, attention span, and overall productivity. She breaks down the key points from that viral TikTok, reflects on her own habits, and explores why moms especially are drowning in digital noise while struggling to feel present, creative, or motivated. If you’ve ever picked up your phone to check one thing and found yourself in a 45-minute scroll hole… this one’s for you. Let’s talk about it, call ourselves out, and start reclaiming our attention.

• Testosterone Replacement Therapy: What You Need To Know

  EP522. In this episode, I speak with my husband, a board-certified urologist, to unpack the growing trend of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) being promoted to young men. We discuss what TRT is, when it’s medically appropriate, and the potential risks of using it without a clinical need. This discussion came about after I came across a Scary Mommy post about the concerns parents are having because big podcasters like Dax Shepherd & Joe Rogan are open about their TRT. We also discuss what parents should be aware of when it comes to their teens and young adult children. Whether your son has mentioned “low T” or you're simply curious about the impact of this trend, this episode offers expert insight and practical advice to help you stay informed and proactive.
