Summary
EP570. This week, Renee is joined by Tyler Champagne (@Heated_Seats) for a candid conversation about balancing parenting with content creation. Tyler shares his journey from making car content to becoming a widely followed parenting creator after becoming a dad, and how one exhausted, sleep-deprived rant after his son’s birth shifted everything. Together, they talk openly about labor and delivery trauma, unrealistic expectations around new parenthood, and the shock of bringing a newborn home without truly knowing what’s ahead.
The conversation dives deep into postpartum, mental load, and default parenting — including Tyler’s viral Understanding Postpartum for Dads series and the unexpected response from moms who felt seen for the first time. Renee and Tyler explore why postpartum is still so misunderstood, how partners can better support new moms, and why small, intentional actions from dads can make a huge difference.
