The Cultural Danger Of Light-Hearted TV Shows And Influencer Marketing

With how crazy the world is, we sometimes just can’t help but crave anything light-hearted—something that will take our mind away from the things happening right now. One of the things that have been on many people’s mouths lately is the new feel-good Netflix series, Emily in Paris. In this episode, Whitney Lauritsen and Jason Wrobel reflect on the reception of these light-hearted shows, their ripple effect, and to an extent, the cultural danger they pose towards people watching. They talk about how mainstream media reinforces an unrealistic idea of happiness and fulfillment, the dark side of influencer marketing, and how social media puts on pressure to people to fit into gender stereotypes and these hierarchical metrics of success. Celebrating the International Day of the Girl, Jason and Whitney then share the six ways you can empower girls today, recognizing the unique challenges girls face around the world and help in our own ways. Plus, they also give a shout-out to Goddess Provisions, which helps women tap into their inner goddess.Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!Here’s How »Join the This Might Get Uncomfortable community today:wellevatr.comWellevatr FacebookWellevatr TwitterWellevatr Instagram
