WHY WE STARTED THE MODERN MAMAS CLUB AND WHY YOU NEED TO BE THERE

 Modern Mommy Doc

CATEGORY: MODERN MAMAS CLUB

Remember all those things we said we’d do or not do as parents? 


  • No screen time on weekdays.
  • Dessert once a week.
  • And definitely no sleeping in our bed.


Before I had kids, I was convinced parenting was going to be easy (I know, I can hear you laughing.) But, I just kept thinking, “I’m a pediatrician! I
know ALL the things!”


Yeeeeeah.  As you can imagine, that’s not exactly how it turned out.


From the moment I became a mom, my world was different. Shockingly so. I had this brand new baby whom I loved with everything inside of me. And I had a job that I
really loved too. I loved saying yes to every commitment that came my way, but I felt like every yes was a bright red NO I was saying to my family.


I was living in a constant state of feeling
conflicted.


When I was heavily needed at work, I was still equally needed at home. I felt guilty at work. I felt guilty at home. I was perpetually feeling like I was doing everything, but doing nothing well.


A few years ago, after a really exhausting day at work, I came home to my daughter in the middle of a huge tantrum and I could not deal anymore. So, I went and did what any normal mom does…


I had a long cry in the shower (if you’ve never shower cried, I’m telling you, they’re ridiculously therapeutic.) 


I knew there had to be a different way to do life that didn’t pull me in 80 different directions at once. And leave me feeling guilty no matter which choice I made.


Through trial and error, I figured out how I could still be an incredible mom to my kids while at the same time being “all-in” at my job. And that’s how Modern Mamas Club got started: I wanted to teach women just like you how to live life, not just surviving from day to day, but actually thriving! In your work life, your parent life, your YOU life.


Modern Mamas Club is a safe, supportive space for like-minded Modern Mamas who dream of having it all, to help them actually achieve that dream, and lift up other Mamas to succeed as well. 


This is where we’ll learn to go from conflicted to centered. Which is a BIG deal. It's a lot of unlearning. All while having the support of other women who are trying to do the exact same thing, which is incredibly powerful.

About the Episode: In this episode of the Modern Mommy Doc Podcast, Dr. Whitney sits down with Miyaeva Renae—full-time creator, business owner, and intentional mom—to talk about the real side of new motherhood. Miyaeva opens up about the anxiety and overwhelm she faced after having her son, Stetson, and the rituals that helped her navigate postpartum life with more calm and self-compassion. From calling on her mom and her village for support to learning the importance of asking her fiancé for breaks, she shares how she learned to prioritize her own mental health while caring for her baby. You’ll also hear: How social media both fuels perfectionism and provides unexpected mom-to-mom support. Why ASMR and organization videos became part of her “calm the chaos” toolkit. Her honest take on breastfeeding, weaning, and the bittersweet milestones of a first year. The behind-the-scenes of life as a creator—and why she’s shifting from picture-perfect posts to more authentic, supportive content for moms. The story behind her new clothing line, Every September, created to fill the gap for boy moms who want neutral, stylish mommy-and-me outfits. This conversation is equal parts refreshing and relatable—a reminder that no mom has it all together, and that sometimes the best gift we can give ourselves is permission to be real. Key Takeaways: Motherhood isn’t perfect—and that’s okay. Miyaeva shares how postpartum anxiety pushed her to let go of perfection and focus more on the present moment with her son. Support systems matter. Leaning on her mom, best friend, and fiancé helped her find calm during stressful moments. Self-care can be simple. From eye masks to slippers to a warm shower, Miyaeva shows that little rituals make a big difference in mental health. Authenticity over perfection. Social media can amplify pressure, but it can also create powerful connections when moms are honest about the highs and lows. New ventures come from lived experience. Her clothing line, Every September, was born from her own frustration as a boy mom looking for stylish, neutral mommy-and-me outfits. About Our Guest Miyaeva Renae is a full-time digital creator, entrepreneur, and mom to her one-year-old son, Stetson. Known for her organizing hacks, “day in the life” videos, and calming ASMR routines, she has built a supportive online community of moms who value honesty and relatability over perfection.  Beyond content creation, Miyaeva is the founder of Every September, a clothing brand designed to make mommy-and-me matching accessible and stylish—especially for boy moms.
