On Instagram, mommy influencers abound, offering recipe inspiration, parenting hacks…and advice on which non-stick pan or organic snackbar will definitely, finally make you feel like the mother you always thought you would be! On this episode, Jane and Liz talk to Sara Petersen, the author of the new book “Momfluenced: Inside the Maddening, Picture-Perfect World of Mommy Influencer Culture” about the multi-billion dollar business of momfluencing, and why we’re so drawn to watching performances of motherhood online.

Feeding children is among the most basic of human responsibilities. So why do we so often feel like we’re failing at it? Pressure Cooker examines the history--and contradictions--of America’s Advice Industrial Complex, and brings intimate, funny and emotionally resonant stories from parents locked in the daily struggle to navigate manipulative marketing messages, impossible cultural expectations, and little people with big personalities as they try to set their kids on a healthy path for life.
