I Touched Shawn Mendes and Also Learned About Finances
In this solo episode, Renee kicks things off with a full recap of her unforgettable night at the Shawn Mendes concert... yes, she actually touched him! Then, she pivots to something a little more practical: money talk. After sitting down with her cousin Jett (a.k.a. “a Finance Guy”), Renee breaks down what she learned in the most relatable, non-boring way possible. Think budgeting, investing, and financial mindset... but explained like you’re chatting with a friend over coffee.It’s part fangirl, part finance, and 100% real life talk.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Esther Hallam on Starting an Organic Baby Formula Company
Ep541. Renee sits down with Esther Hallam, founder of Nara Organics, to talk about what inspired her to launch a baby formula company from the ground up in a space usually dominated by big pharma. Esther shares the challenges she faced after her daughter was born, when breastfeeding became painful, and how that experience led her to create a cleaner, whole-milk–based formula. They also dive into the postpartum phase of new mom life — from the guilt that so often surrounds feeding decisions to the reality of balancing motherhood while starting a business (no small feat!).

Gaining 15 lbs and Wanting to Lose Weight: An Honest Chat
EP540. In this vulnerable solo episode, I open up about my history with weight and body fluctuations, and how it’s showing up for me right now. After seeing a photo of myself recently and not even recognizing the person in it, I did something I’ve never done before: I bought a scale. I’ve gained about 15 pounds in the past year, and I’m sharing honestly about my decision to make some changes!
I talk about how it feels almost taboo to admit that you want to lose weight these days (am I going to be cancelled?), and the mindset shifts I’m working through as I focus on my health and wanting to feel my best. I also break down the simple dietary changes I’m making and yes, I get specific with numbers, including how much I used to weigh, what I weight now, and what my goals are.
If you’ve ever felt conflicted about your relationship with your body or guilty for wanting to make a change, this conversation is for you!
