THE BURNOUT GENERATION :: PRESSURES OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON THE MILLENNIAL MOM

^{The Burnout Generation :: Pressures of Social Media on the Millennial Mom}S2 EPISODE 011 :: Chatting about all things Motherhood – the good, the bad, and the exhausting. Lacey shares her insight on how the Millennial Mom is torn between the allure of the internet as a source of information, inspiration, community, as well as a creative space to share and connect, and its addictive appeal leading to the inevitable pressures of having to “keep up”. Fostering a culture of perfectionism, it’s no wonder Mamas are left to feel inadequate, resentful, and burnt out.

From online Sisterhood (which brought us two mamas together in the first place), to the toxic nature of comparison, to the testing of boundaries in the latest phenomenon, “Sharenthood”, Lacey and I speak candidly about what a mom really NEEDS to survive and thrive in motherhood. Including, navigating a love-hate relationship with the very tool that feeds our creative souls with a platform to express ourselves creatively. But at what cost?

Does more necessarily mean better?
How do we navigate a barrage of parenting information we are faced with as we scroll through the interwebs?
And would reading the captions before judging an IG Mama on her pretty aesthetics, worth the extra time we don’t have in the first place?

And like clockwork, the cutest little guest makes a surprise appearance at the end – You may want to make your way to our Youtube version of this episode!
