069 – S3 E6 – “’You lift your shirt, I’ll lift my shirt, too.’ That's what makes a good relationship—getting vulnerable and sharing your sh**.” - Reena

homeroom is an international podcast bridging the education gap between the classroom and the living room by starting conversations impacting the next generation. In this episode, I speak with Reena, a TV producer, podcast host, and mompreneur, about her earliest memories of experiencing both social connection and disconnection in schools, as well as both shock and ultimately the push she needed to find her own voice. We talk about her career in TV and entertainment including working as a producer on the Jerry Springer show, and her journey toward starting her own podcast, Better Call Daddy. We also discuss what it means to raise children who aren’t afraid to assert themselves, while not harming relationships and friendships along the way. This is a vulnerable conversation packed with lots of hidden gems about finding your way…that you definitely don’t want to miss.
