Dr. Tanya Cotler: Why Boundaries and Emotional Safety Matter for Kids
Ep509. The Mom Room favourite guest, Dr. Tanya Cotler is back to talk with Renee about raising emotionally resilient kids—especially boys—in a world that often discourages vulnerability. They unpack the impact of media like the Netflix series Adolescence, how to know when something’s “off” with your child, and why kids don’t need us to be perfect—they need us to be present, intuitive, and willing to set loving boundaries.
Renee also opens up about parenting through grief after the loss of her dad and the emotional layers that surfaced in her son’s quiet reaction. Together, they explore nervous system regulation, the role of play and connection, and how to teach kids that emotional expression is a strength that needs mindful nurturing from us parents.

Learning To Relax, Productivity, and Lilo & Stitch
EP504. In this episode of The Mom Room, Renee gets real about how freaking hard it is to just relax. Even on a day with no to-do list, the guilt creeps in, and suddenly you're reorganizing the junk drawer instead of lying on the couch like you promised yourself. She reflects on growing up around women who were always on the go—cleaning, cooking, doing, achieving—and how that hustle mentality is tough to shake. Renee opens up about her mission to get better at doing absolutely nothing on purpose (and not feeling bad about it). Plus, she recounts her emotional meltdown at the movie theatre during the new Lilo & Stitch—yes, she cried, and no, it wasn’t just the nostalgia. Grab a blanket and join Renee as she tries to make peace with rest, tears, and turtle-shell recliners.
