The Mom Room

530
Parenting #105

Warning: This is NOT a typical parenting podcast! Renee Reina is the mom friend you’ve always wanted and The Mom Room is the podcast you've always needed! Renee is not afraid to challenge parenting practices, ask the hard (and sometimes awkward) questions, tackle taboo topics and say what we're all thinking. From setting boundaries and refusing visitors after giving birth to breaking down why being the default parent is so hard, Renee is exploring and exposing the good, the bad, and the sh*tty parts of parenting. Holding a PhD in psychology in one hand and a diaper bag brimming with snacks in the other, Renee is not trying to “balance” it all and is on a mission to validate, educate, and entertain moms everywhere. So grab the cold cup of coffee you’ve reheated three times, push aside the mom guilt and enter The Mom Room, the #1 podcast for moms! New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday.

    Out of touch
    I use to LOVE this podcast. As a new mom during the height of the pandemic Renee felt like my friend. Lately she has just been whiny and so out of touch. Renee, please listen to this criticism because the podcast has great potential.

    Can I skip the solos please??
    I stay subscribed for the episodes that are interviewing professionals. The solos are so cringy and whiny. Please stop.

    Love/Hate
    I love when she points out differences in Canada versus the U.S. From medicines, to practices, and expectations. I also love her no tolerance policy towards people who have different opinions - “… like okay. And that’s good for you.” I hate how privileged she sounds. From money to food. Not saying she’s rich, but the struggle to buy either groceries or a facial isn’t there. And food scarcity was seemingly not an issue in her upbringing.

    Negative energy
    I agree with others, I used to love this podcast but am now unsubscribing due to the constant complaining and negative/abrasive attitude towards everything.

    Just Thank You
    I have been a follower on Instagram for a long time, just recently started the podcast. You really are the mom friend that everyone wants ❤️
  • Karinaalv
    Sorry but no. Soooo negative
    I started following her a while back and she had an interesting take on motherhood. But for a while, it has been extremely negative. People should be able to complain and expressed criticism for anything that they want but her vibe and energy is just too sour for me. It doesn’t make me feel good. Everything just seems really gloomy. There are so many other women that are doing this differently, and can shed a light on the bad and all the negatives while remaining a sense of positivity and provide an uplifting vibe.

    Negativity..
    I heard the ad for this podcast on BMND… thought I’d love it… First episode I listen to is just completely bashing breast feeding. I had to turn it off because the vibe was overall negative and as a mom trying to avoid that mindset… I couldn’t exit fast enough. Wanted to love it.

    A shift…
    I started listening to your podcast and sent it to literally every mother I know…and husband! Everything you talked about resonated with me and felt true and relatable. Your solo episodes were truly my favorite and felt like a funny conversation with a friend (something much needed during the middle of my day as a default parent). Recently I just can’t stand listening, and it makes me sad. I honestly feel like there has been a shift in your content. You have just been very abrasive and negative, more so than usual. Super negative about literally everything. I understand wanting to be authentic to your feelings, but all you do is complain and it’s hard to relate to.

    Love this podcast!
  • NLGilliland
    Slightly disappointed
    I started listening and following because I’m a stay at home mom and a lot of what you said really resonated with me. Then you started this formula vs breastfeeding debate 🙄 where all you did was bash breastfeeding. And I get it, formula feeding has been bashed for the longest time so it’s “our turn”. But man, it’s 2023. Why can’t women just choose what’s best for their families without having other people weigh in on it. You included. You have this platform and instead of calling for peace on this topic you’re in-sighting it. It’s just really disappointing to watch you pitting women against each other.

    Episode 266
    I am listening to this episode about embracing our anger, and my hands couldn’t be farther in the air with support 🙌🏻 Thank you for shining a light on this unheard of topic! I’ve been bringing up how I want to love and embrace the anger within me with my mom friends and all they do is stare back at me blankly. I’m so unsure of myself and if this feeling I have is correct or not and i’m finally getting the reassurance that my instincts are dead on. Thanks again for digging deep and speaking the truth. debbie.

    Most relatable podcast ever
    I love Renee and her podcast. As a new mom, I feel that Renee is able to enunciate exactly what I think on so many occasions. Her humor is so on point and makes me laugh out loud regularly. Not only is she a relatable mom, she is extensively educated on many topics mom-related, so she really knows her stuff. I would recommend this podcast to any new mom who needs help processing new thoughts and lifestyle changes as well as seasoned moms who can laugh at the “fun parts” of motherhood.

    Love this
    So happy I found this podcast, something to look forward to on my commute to work during the week, she’s hilarious, relatable and has great guests on. Solo episodes are super entertaining also, has me laughing out loud on the reg.

    The first podcast I ever wanted to listen to
    I never had a desire to listen to any podcasts until after I had been following Renee on Instagram for a few months. I decided to try it as I drive my daughter to and from school and now I try to listen every day. There are episodes with so much good information for parenting but I think I like even more just listening to Renee on her solo episodes discussing her day to day parenting challenges. It definitely helps to not feel so alone in all of the myriad emotions and situations you have as a parent. I love how she’s always advocating for moms and trying to make it so they can feel confident in their parenting decisions. Thank you, Renee!

    Eh
    I wanted to like this but it’s just boring. Why are all parenting podcasts so boring? I want to laugh!
  • ciaragholzer
    It’s all I listen to!
    I love this podcast. If there isn’t anything recent posted I dig into the archives. If Apple Podcasts had a “ wrapped “ it would just be this.

    Feels like I’m catching up with a friend
    Renee is so easy to listen to. Love hearing about her toddler stories, relationship and just life things. I’m a toddler mom as well and everything is so relatable. She doesn’t try to come off as perfect and I love it. Cuz being a mom is far from being perfect!
  • FureMcC
    So Relatable!
    I just listened to the episode with Renee's mom, and I LOVED it. It was such an interesting perspective talking to someone who patented our generation and respects and supports how we are trying to parent now.

    She’s My New Best Friend
    I can’t thank you enough Renee. I started listening to your show when I started the new school year, I teach Pre-K in a public school and our son is 9 months old. *insert little people overload!* Instead of listening to my old playlists and music from my 20s on repeat it was time to fill my cup with sisterhood, motherhood, and fun. Your show makes me laugh, cry, and love being a mom. *Side note, I talk about your episodes with my husband and it has uplifted our relationship so much. Love you girl, Thank you :)

    We need more podcasts like this!
    It is so great to hear someone say all the things I think to myself as a Mom of 2 young kids and a wife. I am relating SO hard to the episode about your spouse being your roommate. Makes me feel so much better that it’s not just me.

    How I keep my sanity
    Found on TikTok. Followed on insta. HOOKED onto the podcast. The only podcast I follow or listen to. Makes me laugh, makes me cry(in a good way), makes me feel all the feels and the most important makes me feel less alone.
  • scootinaride
    Love the mom room!!
    I started following Renee on tik tok in 2020 when the pandemic broke out- it was the “it’s not About the pasta tik tok video,” that hooked me- and I’ve been following her ever since. It’s been wonderful watching her grow her business and expand her profession. I trust what she says, and I value that she gives honest opinions- regardless if it upsets people. She is educated, communicates well and is funny., I really enjoy listening to her talk. I just got in to the podcast- because I am not usually a podcast person- but I love this one!!!
  • RenNicDoz
    A must listen
    Just do yourself a favor and listen to this podcast!

    I can literally relate to every topic! The best mom podcast I have listened to-and there have been a lot! Love the honest discussion about motherhood and really value the interviews with professionals!

    The Mom Room is Rocking!
    What a great podcast! I feel like Renee is the friend I've been looking for. Not only is she super cool and relatable, but brings up the amazing parts of motherhood and the not so fun parts too. And she does it with perspective, intellect and fun! Can't wait to dive into more episodes!
  • IzzieComoze
    Keeping it Real!
    I love that Renee speaks with full transparency. She is not sugar coating motherhood and she is offering valuable information to help parents on their parentlife journey. She shares joyful and the not so joyful moments. I appreciate you, Renee. Keep being so awesome!
  • Messy Merz
    My new obsession
    Immediate order to work from home in March 2020, and being a mom of 2 kids under 6, can make mom life really lonely. A swirl of “second guessing” and thinking I’m failing at being a mom started to really set in. However, after starting to listen to The Mom Room in the beginning of 2022 has changed my perspective and mental health in a positive way! I swear by this podcast! A must listen for sure!
  • Korrii01
    🙌🏼
    This is my first time listening to her podcast and honestly I cried. I could relate to her so much! This last month and half have been rough with work, S/O business, family, my dog with chemo and having 4 teacher conferences 😩. I felt like I was the only mom that had those “moments” and felt like I was falling as a mother to my 4 yr old. Thank you so much for been so honest and raw with this podcast ❤️

    In one episode or another she is relatable to almost any aspect of a stay at home moms daily life.
  • JRosey67
    Every adult that interacts with children… NEEDS THIS!
    Do you know a child? Have a child? Spend any part of your life around children? You at least should do yourself a favor and listen to “Momposter”! In today’s society it’s hard to keep yourself “healthy & happy” in every sense of those words. So keeping yourself & a completely dependent human happy & healthy is INSANE! “Momposter” episode validated all those things NO ONE seems to want to talk about! If every human could empathize those feelings, pretty sure only our future generations can benefit!! Thanks Renee, incredible!!

    Authentic Discussions About Motherhood
    I love how real Renee is! These podcasts are relatable, informative, and help me feel so much more secure in the way I parent.

    Love Renees podcast!
    As a soon to be mom listening to her podcast has really helped me get a little bit more prepared for being a first time mother. Love all the info she gives with her guests and how she makes every mother’s feelings valid. Also love following her on Instagram to watch her stories! 😊

    My fav mom podcast 💕
  • ryhubs
    Love this podcast!
    Found her through Instagram. She is so relatable and authentic. Took me a minute to listen to the podcast and I wish I had started sooner!! Love that she uses her education as well as life experience to back up her opinions and beliefs. Her episode on defense mechanisms was *chefs kiss*. Everyone, not just moms, can benefit from a lot of what she talks about.
  • KelseyRob
    Currently listening! Really enjoying your show!
    I’ve been listening for awhile actually but every now & then, an episode is soooo informative and I can’t sing your praises enough! I’m listening to the ep about defense mechanisms. So interesting! I’m 100% guilty of the one you said most of us Moms do. We say the opposite of something we’ve just “confessed” so we don’t appear ungrateful or heartless…when actually our feelings deserve to be validated. Thanks for making this show.
  • aliciaszczapa
    Amazing podcast!
    I am so in love with this podcast. Renee is so relatable and I love how she is so open to exposing her struggles. Mom life is hard, and listening to this makes it easier. :)

    Renee = A Refreshing Voice for Real Moms
    I started listening to The Mom Room early on I the pandemic and it has never disappointed! Renee talks about real issues and shows the good, bad, and ugly along with the beautiful, memorable and heartwarming, because let’s face it- motherhood is both! She brings in experts, has started a hot topics series and talks about it all looping in some of her psychology background to help process the experiences- any mom or new mom I meet, I tell them this is a must listen! Thanks for creating this space and being so awesome!
  • Taylor A 🌵
    Waiting for episodes each week!
    This is one of my new favorites! I love the conversational style, the guest experts, mom realness, and Dr. Reina’s expertise in psych all mixed into one! Such a great listen!

  • Drianna!!
    Soooo good !
    I recently started this podcast and I love it so much! She makes me feel better about being a mom. Motherhood is tough in many ways but listening to her life with Milo, makes me feel normal! She is awesome, funny and always herself no matter what 👍🏽
