EP. 2 - 76 Years of Lessons: Don’t Be Who THEY Told You To Be | Renee Tan

In this episode, I sat down with Renee Tan, one of my closest friends. At 76, she has a perspective on life that I found incredibly refreshing. She doesn’t just talk about being independent; she has lived it, often in ways that went completely against the grain. We talked about her courage to stay true to herself: traveling for nearly 3 weeks shortly after her child was born, and her choice to continue exploring the world solo today while her husband stays home. Renee’s wisdom comes from a place of radical honesty. She’s a mother who chose her children’s joy over academic pressure, and a mother-in-law who prioritizes kindness over being overbearing. Renee's stories made me think about the "scripts" we all follow and what it actually looks like to stay true to your own path for 76 years. In our conversation, we discuss: How to have a lasting happy marriage. Why Renee prioritized her hobby to travel early in her motherhood. Her reason to prioritize her children’s happiness over Singapore’s academic pressure. Her philosophy on being supportive without being overbearing. How to stand by your decisions even when they defy tradition. — (04:10) - Why you shouldn't let "nasty people" ruin your happiness (05:42) - Having the courage to walk away from people who drain you (09:40) - 50 Years of Marriage: Honest wisdom on why marriage is not a "bed of roses" (11:53) - You should never let a conflict last past the next morning (18:03) - Why Renee still travels the world alone at 76 (25:19) - A child’s happiness is more important than perfect scores (34:05) - Mothers shouldn’t be "clingy" when their children find partners (44:35) - How comparing your life to others leads to constant misery (48:52) - How to find true contentment instead of chasing more money (52:48) - The message for parents regarding academic pressure to their child Connect with Tanya Gromenko: Instagram: @tanyagromenko LinkedIn: Tatiana Gromenko #empoweryourself #motherhood #marriageadvice #marriagetips #marriagegoals #lifelesson #lifelessonvideos #wisdomstory #wisdomjourney #wisewords
