Summary
EP455. This week, Renee is joined by Libby Ward, creator of the wildly popular Diary of an Honest Mom TikTok and Instagram account. The two cover everything from keeping up with trends on TikTok to dealing with nagging feelings of imposter syndrome to the best reality TV. With her kids now 8 and 10, Libby reflects on how much things have changed for her since she was in the ‘trenches’ in the early days of motherhood, especially during the pandemic years. She’s channeling all those lessons learned into a new book she’s in the process of writing, due out sometime in 2026! Tune in for candid and relatable insights on navigating life as a creator, mother, and business owner, all while balancing mental health and the pursuit of personal passions.

| 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 |

| 1:04.3 | It's like that. Uh-'t even know what to say. The last week has been an absolute roller coaster. I just spent basically all morning responding to emails being like, sorry for the delay, sorry for the delay, |

| 1:57.4 | what the hell is her problem? And I felt like saying, I'm going to see Taylor Swift. It was so wild. So anyways, that happened Thursday. So my day was just completely |
| 2:05.6 | like turned upside down. And then Friday, I don't know, like, I think my husband had a cold |
