92: Is Influencer Culture Dead?

92: Is Influencer Culture Dead?

Why does influencer culture feel so exhausting—for everyone?

In this episode, Amanda and Sam get honest about what influencer culture has turned into, why both creators and consumers are burned out, and how algorithms quietly shape our mental health.

We get into:

  • How influencer culture shifted from “fun side hustle” to full-blown pressure cooker.
  • Consumer fatigue: when everything starts to feel like an ad and nothing feels real.
  • How constant luxury content messes with expectations, especially during the holidays.
  • The pressure to perform happiness, success, and productivity online—even when real life looks nothing like that.
  • The underrated power of boredom in a world addicted to stimulation.
  • What it looks like to create real boundaries with social media instead of pretending “just logging off” is simple.
This isn’t a “delete your apps” episode. It’s a real conversation about balance, authenticity, and how to live a meaningful life in a digital world that’s constantly asking for more of your attention.
