Acerca de esta escucha

 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.Jo Piazza Ciencias Sociales Crianza y Familias Relaciones

    Sunday Nice Things: The Messy Parts with Katie Sturino
    Jul 13 2025
    While social media feeds overflow with‬‭ polished success stories, a new‬ ‭ podcast is asking: what if the biggest career breakthroughs come from the moments we’re least‬‭ likely to share? The Messy Parts cuts through the highlight reel to explore‬‭ the raw, unfiltered reality behind achievement.‬ Host Maryam Banikarim, a powerhouse executive with 20+ years in the C-Suite at Nextdoor,‬‭ Hyatt, NBC Universal, and Univision, created the show after growing tired of the facade. “I’ve‬ ‭been 'successful’ by most measures, and it’s messy as hell,” says Banikarim. “There are days‬ ‭even the people who 'have it all’ can barely get out of bed. We want listeners to know they’re not‬‭ losing their minds alone.” ‭The premiere episode features Katie Sturino, founder of Megababe, discussing building a‬ ‭self-funded brand, the real struggles behind Instagram gloss, and how “letting the messy parts‬ ‭hang out” became her superpower.‬ ‭ Listen to more episodes of The Messy Parts here.
