Are you sure the advice shaping your pregnancy and motherhood journey is truly trustworthy—or could your next scroll be quietly rewriting your reality?
In this eye-opening episode, clinical psychologist Dr. Ileana Hatton joins us to examine the hidden forces shaping women’s experiences from conception through early motherhood.
Together, we unravel how social media algorithms, influencer culture, and the pursuit of perfection can distort reality, heighten anxiety, and influence decision-making during one of life’s most sensitive transitions.
We discuss the psychological factors that leave women especially open to unqualified advice, highlight the risks illustrated by high-profile cases like Belle Gibson and Ruby Franke, and explain how dopamine-driven platform design can foster addictive patterns and emotional disconnection.
Most importantly, you’ll gain practical frameworks and critical thinking tools to help you create a healthier online space, rebuild self-trust, and nurture authentic connections in the digital world.
Whether you’re planning to conceive, currently pregnant, or navigating the early days of motherhood, this episode delivers essential guidance and actionable strategies to help you filter out the noise, recognize red flags, and reclaim your sense of agency online
