In this episode of Kale in My Teeth, Rivki sits down with Meytal for a candid, eye-opening conversation about the influencer industry, authenticity, and the evolving definition of success. From building the Fashion Mom persona to navigating the pressures of content creation, Meytal shares the highs, lows, and everything in between.

Together, they dive into the behind-the-scenes reality of social media, the emotional toll of balancing personal identity with audience expectations, and the business of influencing that most people never see. They also explore the psychology of personal style, the power of reinvention, and how to thrive in an industry built on perception.

This episode is sponsored by Organic Traditions, a family-owned, female-led brand that blends innovation with high-quality organic products. Rivki and Meytal sip on their favorite holiday lattes while discussing the importance of staying true to yourself—even in a world that thrives on trends.
