14 Renee Reina: Self-Reflection and Authenticity in Motherhood and Beyond

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today I’m joined by Renee Reina, podcaster, TikToker, mom, and truth-teller. Renee finished her PhD in psychology in March 2020, just days before the COVID-19 quarantine started. While in quarantine, she gained a large following on TikTok and launched</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The Mom Room Podcast</span></em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">. Renee and I discuss marriage, self-care, communication, mom rage, mom guilt, “mom-poster syndrome,” the “#blessed” moms, and Renee’s experience with anxiety that persists to this day. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I hope that I am more so an influencer of changing how people think of themselves and think about motherhood and inspire people to have conversations with their partners that they wouldn’t otherwise have.”  - Renee Reina</span></p> <p><strong>Links:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Christie’s Website:</span> <a href="https://www.sasssays.com"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.sasssays.com</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Christie’s Instagram: @sasssays</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Renee’s Website: https://reneereina.com/</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Renee’s Instagram: @reneereina_</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Renee’s Podcast:</span> <a href= "https://themomroompodcast.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://themomroompodcast.com/</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Renee’s Podcast Instagram:</span> <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/themomroompodcast/?lang=en"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.instagram.com/themomroompodcast/?lang=en</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Renee’s TikTok:</span> <a href= "https://www.tiktok.com/@reneereina_"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.tiktok.com/@reneereina_</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rage in Motherhood: Wha
