190 Renee Reina: Navigating the Intersection: Where Your Passions and Niche Content Meet on Social Media

<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Today With Renee Reina:</strong></span></p> <p>Today on The Inner Edit I am with Renee Reina, who joined me in Episode 14 of Sass Says, where we discussed self-reflection and authenticity in motherhood and beyond. You might know Renee from the internet, where she is the mom friend you always wanted. In March of 2020, just days before the Covid lockdowns, Renee finished her PhD in Psychology. Like many of us, she went online, only she was really good at it. Since then, she has gained a huge following on both TikTok and Instagram, and launched the Mom Room podcast, where she hopes to change how people see themselves and motherhood, in her own hilarious way. While Renee is not a clinician, her PhD, training and research all impact the content she creates.<br />  <br /> Today, Renee and I are digging into what content creation means to her, whether or not being true to a niche is important, the crazy amount of work that actually comes with these mediums, how she handles negative comments, and why it’s important to actually enjoy the content you are creating. </p> <p>Spoiler alert: it’s super important. <br />  <br /> Keep listening, because this is a good one.</p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Pick It Apart</span></strong></p> <p>[4:09] Renee talks about her struggle with niching down.</p> <p>[12:20] Christie asks Renee about being part of a podcast network and what that means for her.</p> <p>[17:00] Renee shares her experience with hiring out different tasks.</p> <p>[22:09] Christie and Renee discuss publically responding to negative comments.</p> <p>[32:45] Renee shares how her work online impacts her real-life relationships.</p> <p>[39:00] Christie talks about the gray area that comes with working online and the difference between online community and in-person community.</p> <p>[52:52] Renee reflects on why she can’t put out content just to be performative and why.</p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Christie Rocha's and Renee Reina's Ah-Ha Moments</
