The One About Postpartum Anxiety & Buttholes with Renee Reina

Ep. 116

Renee Reina is the mom friend you've always wanted. She is extremely relatable and finds the humour in everything about being a mom - the good, the bad, and the ugly. She isn't a parenting expert -- she's just a girl with a PhD who had a baby and decided it was time to stir sh*t up in the mom community. Today we sat down and discussed mom stuff, postpartum, sitting with our choices, expectations vs reality, academia vs influencing and what exactly IS a modern day village? Oh, and somehow - we talk about buttholes.


After gaining a huge following on TikTok @ReneeReina_, she now shares on her podcast @TheMomRoomPodcast as well as Instagram @ReneeReina_with her hilarious mom content. With a goal of hoping that nobody ever feels alone in this wild thing called motherhood, ever again.
