Summary
EP490. This week on The Mom Room, Renee gets real about the strange paradox of being completely exhausted but somehow still unable to relax. She chats about her Easter weekend plans and shares the wild way the date for Easter is actually decided (spoiler: it’s more complicated than you'd think). Hear about her recent physio appointment where Milo had a front-row seat to some intense dry needling in her hips—yes, he watched the whole thing. Renee also gives a peek into her jam-packed week ahead!

| 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. Welcome to the mom room. It is late for me. |
| 0:53.4 | It's 8.30. I should be in bed in about a half hour |
| 0:56.9 | reading my book. But here I am recording. It has been a crazy day. It's actually been a really |
| 1:02.6 | crazy few weeks. And if you saw my Instagram post the other day, it was like that I crashed. |
| 1:10.0 | It was like rest is productive. Don't feel |
| 1:12.4 | guilty about it. I swear to God, when I feel guilty about resting, I post something about it because |

| 1:23.5 | put the laundry in the dryer. One second. Okay, I'm back. Anyways, what I was saying is that it's really |
| 1:29.8 | frustrating and I'm sure many people feel this way, especially when you are constantly thinking about |
| 1:36.8 | things that you could be doing or that you have to do and you don't necessarily have like a set |
| 1:42.2 | schedule. So that's how I've always been. Like in grad school, |
| 1:45.5 | it was the same way. It was like I did work independently on my own time. Like, yeah, there were |
| 1:51.3 | deadlines here and there and I had classes and whatnot. But other than that, like you're basically |
| 1:57.5 | working 24-7. And I started to notice that about myself in grad school that I found it very |
| 2:03.7 | difficult to relax. And if I wasn't doing something productive with regard to school, I would feel |
| 2:10.4 | guilty or like it would nag in my brain and I couldn't just fully be in the moment of relaxation. So fast forward and I am no longer in grad school, |
