How Social Media Fuels Parenting Perfectionism with Faye

Comparison culture affects parents deeply. This episode explores how social media shapes expectations — and how to protect your mental health.


In this episode, child psychologist Faye Poole joins Eva to unpack how social media shapes the modern idea of “perfect parenting.” From picture-perfect feeds to parenting influencers, we explore why so many parents feel they’re not doing enough — and how comparison culture can quietly impact both parental wellbeing and children’s sense of security.

Faye shares practical ways to step back from the pressure, build self-compassion, and model healthy digital habits at home. Whether you’re a new parent scrolling for advice or just trying to keep it real online, this conversation will help you see past the filters and reconnect with what really matters.

Listen for insights on:

  • The link between social media and parenting perfectionism

  • Why comparison undermines confidence

  • How to talk to kids about online “perfection”

  • Simple mindset shifts for calmer, more authentic parenting
