Under the Influence with Jo Piazza

Default Parenting and the Mental Load with Renee Reina


Listen Later

Renee Reina worked on her PhD in psychology for ten years. Then the pandemic happened and she started making TikToks and podcasts about mom life with her eighteen month old. When that started making money she decided to pursue content creation as a career path instead of what she refers to as a "real job." Why don't we consider what women do online a "real job?" That's just one of the things we are diving into today.

Renee talks about ambition and guilt and shame and mental load and I would argue she is still using her PhD every day to help women and mothers. She simply isn't using it the way white men have used PhDs for the past 200 years. Just a little bit of what we are touching on in this episode:

  • How can we enjoy our lives more?
  • Does being the default parent make it harder to enjoy life?
  • Are a lot of the things that cause us stress self-inflicted?
  • Why do clean houses on social media piss me off the most?
  • Follow Renee on all the things here.
