Summary
EP500. Can you believe it?! 500 episodes of The Mom Room! In this very special milestone episode, host Renee takes a heartfelt (and hilarious) trip down memory lane—back to July 2020 when The Mom Room was born in the thick of pandemic parenting chaos. She shares the how, why, and what was I thinking? behind starting the show, the major shifts that have happened both in her personal life and the podcast, and where she stands today in her motherhood journey.
It’s raw, reflective, and packed with gratitude. Whether you’ve been here since day one or just hopped on board, this episode is for YOU.
Here’s to the next 500—let’s see where the next five years takes us!

| 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. |
| 0:44.8 | This podcast is brought to you by Podcast Nation. |
| 0:49.8 | Welcome to the 500th episode of The Mom Room. This is wild. I've been thinking all day, like, |
| 0:58.4 | what am I going to say? What is this podcast going to be? And I was putting so much pressure on |
| 1:02.3 | myself for this episode to be like some amazing monumental, like life-changing thing. And it started |
| 1:09.0 | to stress me out. And I was I was like Renee let's just be honest |
| 1:12.3 | let's be ourselves like you have been for 499 episodes and just do the damn thing so here we are |
| 1:20.3 | I did stop at the party store after CrossFit today and picked up balloons as you can see behind me |
| 1:26.9 | if you're watching on YouTube if not just, just no, there are big pink balloons behind my head that say 5-0-0. And it's funny because when I put them on the counter at the party store, the lady was like, oh, it can't be 500. Like, she thought I made a mistake. Like, it was supposed to be 50 and I accidentally had two zeros. |
| 1:46.0 | And I was like, no, it's 500. And she's like, oh, like for what? And I had to explain. And then we got |
| 1:51.3 | into a big conversation. It was a whole thing. But yes, 5-0. Initially, I will say my plan for this |
| 2:00.6 | episode last year, like last year when I was looking forward |
| 2:05.0 | with everything going on with the mom room and I was like, oh my God, the 500th episode will happen |
| 2:10.3 | in May next year. We had all these grand plans. It was like we should do a big event in Toronto |
| 2:16.2 | and have all my favorite guests come on. |
| 2:19.3 | Anyways, obviously it never ended up happening. I have been through a little bit of a roller coaster |
| 2:24.7 | when it comes to the last like six-ish months, maybe more. So I'm just happy that I made it here and that the mom room is still thriving. |
