105. How to Not Be Influenced By Influencers with Kathryn DeFatta

In today's episode, I am joined by Nashville native Kathryn DeFatta, a therapist, podcast host, and believer of Jesus. Her area of specialty is in anxiety attachment disorders, depression, and emotional eating. Kathryn is on a mission to help people realize you weren't made to be perfect, you were simply made to be you!    During our conversation, Kathryn shares her thoughts on how not to be influenced by influencers. On social media, it can be really easy to take every word they say as gospel truth! Kathryn talks about the grey area of influencers and their impact on their audience, an influx of "coaches" who may not be properly trained, why not all advice is proper for the general public, and the importance of critical thinking.    In this episode, we cover: Not all influencers are created equal nor are they trained properly [1:59] Monetizing misinformation and trying to gain followers - is it ethical?
