Under the Influence with Jo Piazza

By: Jo Piazza
  • Summary

  • Under the Influence is a deep dive into social media, a place haunted by aspirational marketing where it feels like every other person is a social media influencer trying to sell you something, all while posed in perfect houses that never seem to get messy. And behind this airbrushed perfection is money, so much money. Billions and billions of dollars. Journalist and mom Jo Piazza looks at how we got here, what it all means and how the commodification of every single aspect of our lives is driving everyone (but mostly women and mothers) a little insane.

    Coming at you live from Iceland to encourage you to book that friend vacation in 2025. Or better yet ask your husband to give it to you as a Christmas gift. We spend so much time planning our kids play dates and their activities that we forget to do these things for ourselves. No more. We cannot be our best selves without taking time for ourselves. Let's talk about the joys of me time, of friend vacations and doing absolutely nothing in a new place while I soak in a hot spring on a black lava beach. Learn more about your ad choices.
