Therapist & content creator Alaina Brubaker talks performative posting on It's a Lot podcast

This week, I launched my podcast, It’s a Lot, where I have honest conversations about social media, parenthood, and other things that are a lot. My first guest was therapist and content creator Alaina Brubaker. Five years ago, I interviewed her here on the Serve Me the Sky blog about starting her therapy Instagram, what inspired her to start creating content, how she developed her aesthetic, how she’s grown a following, and more.

In our conversation for the inaugural episode of It’s a Lot, we discuss how much has changed in the world of social media in the past five years, online privacy for kids, performative posting, harmful content going around on mental health Instagram, and lots of other fascinating things. I hope you’ll give it a listen and find something that resonates with you!
