Summary

EP519. Renee welcomes back therapist and relationship expert Dr. Tracy Dalgliesh for an honest look at how our partnerships change through every stage of motherhood — from pregnancy to postpartum to school age and beyond. They break down the common relationship struggles that pop up as kids grow and why we often don’t talk about them until it’s too late.

Tracy shares practical ways to stay connected through it all — from “state of the union” meetings and shared calendars to letting go of guilt and learning how to carve out individual time without resentment. This is a must-listen if you’ve ever felt like you’re two ships passing in the night, or wondered how to keep your partnership strong while raising kids and yourself at the same time.

0:00.0	Is drinking raw milk safe like RFK Jr. suggests? Can you reduce a glucose spike if you eat your food in, quote, unquote, the right order? I'm registered dietitian Abby Sharp. I host a nutrition myth-busting podcast called Bite Back with Abby Sharp. And those are just some of the questions I tackle with qualified experts on my show.
0:21.4	There is so much food misinformation and disinformation out there, and it can feel impossible
0:27.9	to know what's real and what's BS.
0:30.7	On Biteback, my goal is to help listeners create a pleasurable relationship with food,
0:35.3	their body, and themselves, which in my opinion is the
0:38.6	fundamental secret to good health. Listen to bite back wherever you get your podcasts.
0:44.9	This podcast is brought to you by Podcast Nation. Dr. Tracy Dalglish, welcome back to the mom room. It's like your second home.
1:03.3	This is my second home, Renee, and I love, I love hanging it with you. I always love our
1:07.2	conversations. So thank you for having me back. What is your background?
1:17.7	This is new. This is new. My husband and I decided to turn one of our basement bedrooms into the podcast studio. So we sourced out the wall. We've got the chairs. It's and it's been so fun.
1:26.1	Yeah. Before I was in my therapy office and because clients were coming in

1:35.5	And I had said to Greg one day, I said, I just need a studio, please. And we made it work.
1:40.7	Yeah, a space. We have the studio in our basement as well. Yes. And it's so nice. First of all,
1:47.9	having all that equipment everywhere is chaos. And especially because it's expensive. So if I had that
1:54.7	set up anywhere else in the house where Milo is frequenting, like there goes your, you know,
1:59.8	$4,000 camera or whatever it is. Totally.
2:02.7	I love having that little space where it's not finished yet, but it works and it's functional.
2:09.9	So that's all I care about. I get it. And it's just away from the family and no one's going to be
2:14.4	touching it and set up and lighting. There's like a lot to go behind it.
2:18.5	It is wild.
2:20.2	People just see the clips on social media.
