Performative Posting, Sensory Overwhelm, & the Pressure to be Present with Alaina Brubaker

from It's a Lot

In our inaugural episode of IT'S A LOT, host Emily Hessney Lynch chats with therapist Alaina Brubaker about the complexities of social media and parenthood. We discuss Alaina's daughter's fake podcast at age 4 and the conversations they had around online privacy and consent, how it feels weird to be called "mom" sometimes, why it's worth discussing the highs and lows of parenting, performative posting, the sensory overwhelm of parenting littles, the pressure of being 100% present for every moment of every day, and more.
