This week, we are talking all things momfluencers with author Sara Petersen whose new book Momfluenced comes
out this month. We reminisce with Sara about some of our favourite
momfluencers, and why they also irritate us. We discuss the weight
mothers carry to perform a certain kind of motherhood online, and some
examples of mom culture getting it really right that you'll want to
check out.
Sara has written about motherhood and feminism for The
New York Times, Harper's Bazaar, The Washington Post, and elsewhere.
She also writes the newsletter In Pursuit of Clean Countertops, where she explores the cult of ideal motherhood. She lives in New Hampshire.
