Episode 16: Pregnancy scares + Perimenopause with Renee Reina
In this episode, Aliya sits down for a candid chat with Renee Reina - Podcaster, Writer, Content Creator, Doctor of Psychology, Busy Body, Mom, and Self-Proclaimed Over-Sharer.
Renee shares all about:
her "pregnancy scare" at 16 and how her own mom handled it with grace + compassion
how she hadn't heard of perimenopause until last year
what she is doing to manage fluctuations in her hormones that are messing with her sleep, mood and more
her desire to be more active + build muscle at this point in her life
Interesting resources we mentioned:
I mentioned the North American Menopause Society website as a great resource for up-to-date information and treatment guidelines for menopause.
Renee mentioned Miranda Popen from The Period Lab and The Huberman Lab podcast episode on sleep.
About Renee:
Renee is an academic turned podcasting content-creator! She loves writing, talking, and sharing the honest truths about motherhood, relationships post-baby, toxic mom culture, and how to navigate it all without losing yourself. She won’t tell you how to parent but, she will tell you how to put yourself first, set boundaries, and live life to the fullest as a mom.
