The biggest news is my son's new Netflix show!

My son Phoenix Reich plays the recurring lead in Netflix’s newest show, “Sex/Life”. Don’t worry.. I know.. I know what you are thinking.. No worries cause he is in all the adorable family scenes that juxtapose Billie (Sarah Shahi’s) longings for her younger wilder days. His IG account is blowing up too!

Very fun #sexlifenetflix fact. The set that was built to be the Connelly house in studio had “family” photos throughout. The details that go into productions are mind blowing!! Production asked me for family pictures. This is one I provid
When I (Phoenix’s mom) was a child actor I remember the best times for me on set were when we would break free and run around. Bring on set is intense for anyone, not to mention a kid, and there is nothing like that sweet joy that comes in betw

Hanging on set with @adam_demos .. This is a great cast…. caring, professional people who are serious about their work and always treated their youngest recurring lead with care and respect. Actors work hard and it feels vulnerable to always h

I got this chair on set. Did you know it had pockets!? I liked to put my water bottle there and trucks. I had toys to play with on set! Legos and dinosaurs! I even got to keep some when we wrapped! #onset #onsetlife #actorslife @sexlife #childactor #

@sarahshahi is really nice. I can’t believe she got me a chocolate cake for my birthday. . If you want to bond with your fellow #actor (especially a #kidactor ) this is how. Sarah was mindful to build an authentic connection with Phoenix. She
Being in another country has its ups and downs. Lately I’ve been feeling a little lost, lonely and maybe even homesick. I’ve also been weaning my toddler somewhat and that causes hormone crashes. It’s also so hard to process what #c
The details that go into creating a set are astounding. All throughout the Connelly house are photos. Some were taken (with permission of course) from my Facebook page of our family and some were staged. Our first days on set were photoshoot days to
Best thing about working with @realmikevogel is how much be threw my boy up into the air to make him laugh, maintain the bond, and relieve tension from being on set, which (as I’m sure you can imagine) can be a lot for a little kid. Thanks for
Ode to #wardrobe ! Thank goodness @averyplewes is used to children. Looks like a lot of smiles here but my son is not the biggest fan of any transition and changing clothes is one of his pet peeves… especially about a year ago when we shot @se
First day on set was rehearsal for @phoenix.reich … and @sarahshahi and @realmikevogel knew exactly how to break the ice and bond with my very young son. It’s perfect they are both parents themselves and knew how to connect with a kid wh
When I tried this on my mom got really excited and took lots of pictures. She said I reminded her of @theellenshow but I just like climbing things and running fast so… whatever! #showkids #childactor @netflix @sexlife @sexlifenetfliix @sexlife
Posted @withregram • @athenareich I am so grateful Phoenix’s first experience on set was a warm nurturing one. @sarahshahi refused to do anything but authentically connect with my son (as acting should be) and appreciate his authentic int

What I'm doing now that my industries are totally shut down...

As some of you know, I was set to fly to London UK to perform Lady Gaga: #artbirth for a 4 week run. Then we were going to San Francisco for 3 weeks. Also, Phoenix was busy working as a child actor on a huge TV show (not at liberty to discuss yet)… and as you can imagine it’s all on pause.

Also, some of you know I earn some steady income with short term rentals (a house near Disney, where it’s legal). Well that’s all kaput for the moment, too!

So what am I doing?

Diving back into TEACHING.

Also, accepting new clients as a LIFE COACH.

And some of you know that I have published some articles. I am also looking for more writing work. (creative, articles). I’m even seeing if there’s any on air hosting work I can get back into (remember when I hosted The Curious Cook, Under the Pink Carpet (PBS) and had a gig with Jerry Springer on Air America Radio?).

And, I am creating videos for clients as Lady Gaga (and other characters). Do you want to hire me to create a customized video for your company, or virtual event? Or, for only $100 you can hire me as Gaga (or Celine, Madonna, Alanis, Cher or Marilyn) to appear at your next zoom meeting. How fabulous is that!?

CONTACT me with questions.

As you can see.. I am hustling, like all artists at the moment. Unfortunately, our industries are hit hard, but I’m genuinely excited to see what new projects evolve from this. Necessity is the mother of invention!

If you have an idea for collaboration, hit me up! I’m also working on some online performances.

STAY HEALTHY. KEEP DISTANCE. FIND NATURE. FIND FUN. GO EASY ON YOURSELF. (this advice is as much for me as for anyone!)
