In this first installment of our Influencer series, we talk about the evolution of celebrity culture into influencer culture. Parasocial relationships, and how the Kardashians changed the world. In this episode, Kaela shares her personal journey & relationship with Influencer culture as it evolved from growing up in the Youtuber era & watching personal intimate content turn into another capitalist marketing strategy.

This instalment is based a lot on personal experience and relationships, but we’re quite sure many of you can relate to this as well. 

At the end of the episode, we discuss the impact fashion & micro-influencers have by advertising fast fashion in GRWM and haul videos, and how we as consumers can vote with our attention. 

Next week, we are going to explore the wonderful world of Wellness Influencers.

This week Kaela shares with you their journey of learning to love fiction again, after years of shame-centred obsession with non-fiction and "educational" media.

Takeaways:

•  Pleasure is not going to kill you
•  You don't need to be the smartest person at the table to be valuable
•  Reality TV isn't terrible (in the way you think it is) 
•  It's important to be learning, but it's also important to experience simple joy.

In this week's episode of the Unbound Podcast Kaela shares about their -potentially trauma-related urge to change everything about their life overnight.
Something that is incredibly on-brand for them and also very overwhelming for everyone in their life around them.
This whirlwind of change resulted in finally shaving their head as they've always wanted and stepping fully into their narcissist era. The narcissist era is a period of loud, radical self-love. Something that is very uncomfortable in a world designed to keep femme people small and insecure.

At the end of the episode, Kaela invites you to explore your own narcissist era and what that might look like for you.
