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.
