Hi there :) My name is Renee Amberg and I’ve been vlogging here for the last 5+ years on TH-cam. All stemming from my beginning Law of Attraction days, to the big NYC, & then finding myself settling into this new journey of life as a mom to two and living out my dream life with my beautiful family & partner focusing on all things health, wellness, & a happy lifestyle! Thank you for being here with us. We love you xx

I’m 62 and I’ve been following you since your early New York days and I genuinely think you are a lovely openly honest human. BUT I think you do yourself no favours by setting yourself some unrealistic goals of even-mooded perfectionism! Life is up and down! You need to ride the wave not scurry away from it. That said, I think so much of this at the moment is connected to pregnancy anxiety and hormones! Keep going Renee - you have a sweet kind soul and a lovely story to tell. ❤
I will be back but taking a mini break before baby gets here .. thanks for understanding 💕
Makes sense
Have a good break
❤ girl! You are making a human. Take all the breaks you need. Hang in there! ❤
You have every right to complain in your third trimester! I loved being pregnant but it wasn't always fun. You get so uncomfortable towards the end and when you have other children you need to care for, it is tough. I wish you wouldn't be so hard on yourself. I generally like your vlogs, whether it is planning/organizing, book reviews, DIY or just daily life type stuff. I like the mix of it all. I think you do a good job at giving us peeks at family life without making it all about your family life. I hope the last few weeks go as smoothly as possible and if you feel like making a video, make one, if not, then don't. Best wishes on the rest of your pregnancy journey and can't wait to see the new little one. I bet Bryson will be a great big brother :)
I love your videos and truly wish you the best, all of your subscribers care for you and want you to live a full life!
With that being said, you’ve made so many of these videos where you essentially say that you feel like if you can’t show up as your best self than you have to step back, but in reality your subscribers just want to see YOU.
When you’re in a good place, when you’re struggling, etc.
I think that you making decisions in private would help relieve that pressure. When you announce that you’re going to post x amount times, on x days, etc and then you don’t, people forget you’re human and get ugly online. If you just posted when you could, and kept your goals for posting private, I think it would be a lot easier on you.
No one is happy or their best self all of the time - that will never be reality! You are a mom, pregnant, and have a LOT on your plate. I think sometimes the pressure to be happy makes it harder to be happy. Allow yourself to feel and just be.
Thanks for this. I know you made this comment with love .. and I thank you for that. To be honest, that's the pressure I am feeling though lol. If you've been a follower of mine for a while, you know I share it ALL .. the good and the bad.
Right now though, I feel like I'm *not* myself and it's very confusing which makes it hard to even post exactly what I am feeling .. bc I'm trying to figure that out myself. I know it prob doesn't make sense lol but that's why I need to step away for a sec. I want to be myself and fully there when I am filming.
have you ever thought about maybe not doing TH-cam for a living? It seems that it has a direct effect on your mental health involving perfectionism and being affected by negative comments. You seem to have a knack for interior design and organization so maybe you just help clients with that and live a more off-line life? Whatever you decide, wishing you the best!
I had this same thought watching this video. Wishing her the best.
I think youtube is her happy place. I have noticed she gets unhappier, more stressed and anxious the more responsibilities she has and that just increases everytime she is pregnant.
She was happier when she only had to take care of herself.
I love what I do so no. But I would love to dabble in some new hobbies for sure once my kids are a bit more grown. A lot of my happiness right now comes from my job & community so I couldn't imagine my life without it.
I enjoy that you aren’t always happy and bubbly, that you show us the down times too. That’s a main reason I watch your content. Whenever I see people that are always up and happy, I don’t enjoy it as much. Even if they tell us they don’t have the perfect life, they don’t show it. I understand it is up to them what they share, but it just makes them not relatable for me.
love your videos no matter what you talk about - just shows you're human and makes you more relatable! sending lots of love 💕
I think you should focus on your real life behind the camera and just post whenever you feel like it. Maybe find a different job or source of income? You can always go back to school and just do something completely different. But also, speak to a psychiatrist (not a therapist but one with a medical degree) you may find SSRIs helpful. Wish you all the best, enjoy all the baby cuddles you can get!
Literally EXACTLY how my 3rd trimester was😂 i complained EVERY DAY. I would joke with my husband all the time how annoying i was for always being negative but 3rd timester is so freaking hard. I feel so validated when other people can relate to this!! 🎉
I had the same. First and third trimester I slept all the time. Loved it… so cozy 😅
I think you have to let go of the pressure to be perfect. With children it is just not possible. You just can not plan everything. Just because more people are involved in the plan. It is you and Xander and soon two kids.
I wish you happiness and fun in all the things you do.
For me I think it's the perfectionism for sure. My OCD is def coming out more this last trimester which I am trying my best to cope with.
Thank you for the comment
Love your vids and love you Renee. Take the time you need ❣
Until you surrender, you’ll never be “happy.” True joy, through good and bad, is only found in One place. It totally makes sense you’re all over the place when you’re searching all over place for happiness. Hoping you only look upwards to the One who made you for your help one day. He doesn’t ever tell us to expect zero hardship or valleys in life, but he does promise peace through it all. With love ❤️
I am also really struggling in my third trimester. Also have a 2 year old boy. I feel you. I love your honestly. It’s not easy
Pregnant hormones made my OCD really bad … I empathize with you 🫶
You are so hard on yourself. I am the same way at times. You are doing the best you can for the season of life that you are in. Focus on one day at a time, breathe, pray, and enjoy every moment. You got this!
First off, it's normal to not be happy all the time, life is just a series of ups and downs, you will be happy and motivated sometimes, and the opposite other times and that is OKAY. It's okay to not be happy and motivated and your best self at all times, no one can be. As a mom, I really feel you, I have 2 kids, ages 5 and 18 months. Pregnancy, postpartum, balancing life and motherhood and all the things is hard on another level. As a mom it's pretty much impossible to be 100% in all of your roles, all the time, especially once you have multiple children. Some days you just have to do what you can to get by and be okay with that. Letting go of control is something I have had to learn ever since becoming a mom, and I can tell it's hard for you, it's hard for me too. Sometimes ya just gotta say "it is what is" and if you are only able to give 40% one day, that's OKAY. Please try to give yourself grace and not force yourself to feel a way you aren't feeling, take care of yourself, and know what you are going through is HARD so I it's okay and normal that you aren't feeling your best. It takes me like 2+ years to feel fully myself after having my kids, so give yourself time, give yourself grace, do the best you can and let that be enough. Sending you love.
Thank you for this ♥️♥️
I am so happy to see that you are carrying your baby full term.
me too thank you 🥰🥰
I bet Bryson is excited for his little brother to get here.
I used to work at a Pilates studio where they had a "mums and bubba's" class, and it was open to both pre and post natal mums. is that something that is offered where you live? that way you could still engage in a form of exercise that's safe for you, while feeling connected with other mums (or mum's-to-be) as well. it might not be exactly the same as your previous work-outs (trust me I can totally relate to the rush of endorphins and feeling mentally so much better after moving my body!), but it could be something that could help in the interium. wishing you all the best xxx
I love that idea but I’m not cleared to workout 😞 that’s sounds wonderful though!
I resonate with this 100 percent! First of all, that third trimester is TOUGH: physically, mentally, and emotionally. I also struggle with OCD tendencies, being a perfectionist, and consider myself a highly sensitive person at times. It’s amplified SO MUCH in pregnancy especially in your third trimester. Sending hugs your way and letting you know that what you’re feeling is completely valid. You have a toddler, a pup, and a little babe growing! You’ve gotta do life in a way that is best for you and your fam while protecting your peace at all costs. Haters will always be haters, that’s a reflection on their insecurities, not yours. Love your REAL content. Thank you for being an unfiltered representation for us moms so we can have a safe place to relate! Congratulations on reaching 32 weeks! You’ve got this, mama! ☀️
Pregnancy and baby are my favorite 🫶 I do miss your home renovation because you were so good at it ! I honestly don’t know how you do apartment living with a family … I would need some outdoor space
For the negative comments, think about how you would react if some random person shouted it to you across the street while walking past you... would you take their opinion in? Or would you shrug it off?
You are allowed to show up as who you are in this world and this work. Unapologetically. People that have issues with that aren't your people.
Wishing all the best ❤
I have 3 children all grown and I will say I didn’t like being pregnant especially the last one but I love my children but my body and all the feels I hated.
So to those who loved it cheers and for those who didn’t cheers we are different. Renee be you and feel your feelings authenticity is the greatest gift to have. ❤
Same ol same ol
It seems like you’re never happy!
lol to be fair you are correct .. honest feel good to hear. My body and mind have been affected for 3 years with some trauma I still am trying to process and all the ups and downs in relation to my hormones with the three pregnancies. I know this is temporary and I will eventually come back to my happy bubbly self but its hard in the moment to deal with :/
You have a great husband and son another on the way you have a job others dream of. You should be so happy! People wish for all the things you have. @ReneeAmberg
Sending lot's of love to you and your family! Hormones can really be difficult and you probably have a bit of anxiety with the birth coming up and past experiences. Take it day by day and try not to put pressure on yourself. Praying that you lean into God's love for you and that He'll carry you through this. You've got this pretty mama!!😊💛🙏
Where can I find the link to the 3 day potty training method??
I think i know what this is it's because you are feeling safe i.e. with your life as last time you had baby early etc
trauma is stored and it's your body reacting
Doesn't help when huge and tired and can't do much
Good on you taking a break you need it
I experience similar when there no chaos going on xx
You remind me of myself when I was pregnant with baby boy #2. I was always angry in my 3rd trimester. Over literally everything! I just wanted him to be born already! It's ok to take a break. Focus on nesting. We'll still be here when you come back. Maybe wait until after he is born? Just come back when you are ready-no matter when that may be. 💓
You shouldn't have to apologize. Being pregnant IS HARD! Your body is working overtime to build a human being inside of you. And every pregnancy is different, and every woman's body is different. If you get a room full of women together and talk about their pregnancies and birth stories, certain things we can relate to each other on, but then there is other things we can't. Some women soar through pregnancy with no issues, and God bless them! But that is not everyone's experience.
Girl if you are pregnant you can complain all you want! Yes it’s amazing, you get a beautiful baby out of it and you’re growing life but it can be sooo brutal. People who experienced mild/symptom free or easy pregnancies dooooonntttt get it. I had SEVERE HG and SPD and it was miserable.
I think the problem you start to do many things ay once and then you stop and you feel guilty and then once again take a break. I suggest you need therapy to work on past issues that happened and as all of us we need help
Surrender your thoughts & your ways to the lord and He'll manifest Himself to and through you. I wish you all the best in life.
No disrespect but I don’t need to watch the whole video to know are going to tell us you are going to take a break. Take care of you and your family mental health. I will be back in 2 months.😂😂😂😂 All love ❤
💖💞
You’ve had so much loss in the last few years, including the loss of the person you were before u were a mom. You had a whole independent life before and quickly that changed and now you’re a mom to 2, have a partner and dog. That’s a biiiiiig life change! Go easy on yourself.🤍
I am also really struggling in my third trimester. Also have a 2 year old boy. I feel you. I love your honestly. It’s not easy
