When Influencers Make Us Feel Bad About Ourselves

from Under the Influence with Jo Piazza · host Jo Piazza

It's way too easy for social media to make us feel like crap. But the things that shame us or guilt us, or make us want to throw our phones across the room often say more about our own demons and trauma than they do about the influencers themselves. Today we're joined by journalist Fortesa Latifi who went down a rabbit hole of jealousy looking at one influencer's birth pics. We're also diving into the exquisite stupidity of push presents and whether or not you should feel guilty about wanting to go right back to work after giving birth. Follow Fortesa's Substack here. This is her article about Pookie's birth. Join our newsletter community here. Pre-order EVERYONE IS LYING TO YOU here. Visit our lovely sponsors here. Learn more about your ad choices.
