Welcome to De-Influenced, the podcast where I peel back the shiny facade of the influencer world to expose their true colours. I'm your host, Sasha, and I'm here to call out the fakes and reveal the real stories behind the carefully crafted images. In a world where social media influencers hold so much power and influence, it's time to deconstruct the illusion and uncover the truth. Get ready for some no-holds-barred discussions as we dive deep into the dark side of the influencer industry. This is De-Influenced, the podcast that exposes the fakes to inspire a more authentic online community.
Hey Guys! Heres one for ya, DCP exposes Daugherty Dozen 2023 spendature.... Its INSANE and it sparked a converstation about this whole, "restock with me" trend going on.
This trend isnt fundamentally bad, or a problem. But we need to be aware of the potential dangers that come with consuming this content. We need to be aware of how it can affect our mental health in ways we don't even realize. Especially when we look at the people who do actually consume this kind of content. Its hard not to compare, when your pantry is a hot mess and someone elses is instaperfect. Just remember the difference between real life working a 9-5 and someones highlight reel, which is curated for this content.
What do you think? Do you think DD's kids will hate her as they age? Realizing they were completely exposed and exploited online and nothing to show for it? I think that raising our children in todays day and age. Teaching them only materialistc values is VERY dangerous for our future, their futures... And since we have yet to be able to see the problems that are going to come from children being exploited, taken for granted, used for content ect, we don't know what the future will hold. We can only hope that these kids have a rational sense when they grow and get the help and love that they need and deserve!

Sephora Kids - The Dangers of this Viral Grift
Hey guys!
Welcome back.. This week I have a heated one for you guys. Its intense. Have you heard of the Sephora Kids Debacle? Its willlddd!
I looked into it and the dangers behind this grift and honestly, I'm so scared for these kids. So so scared. If this doesn't end these poor children are going to suffer consequences that we cannot even predict right now! It'll be bad guys, and parents NEED to wake up and DO BETTER! Its time to rein in on this commercialism stuff and teach our kids the true value of life. Not only physical, but the mental and emotional damage this will do to the daughters being raised today is not okay, it is dangerous.
The "Sephora Kids" trend may seem harmless on the surface, but it represents a troubling intersection of commercial exploitation, parental negligence, and social media obsession. As we shine a light on this disturbing trend, let's remember to prioritize the well-being of children and advocate for responsible behavior both online and offline.

Episode 2 - The Dangers of Putting Kids Online
Hey everyone!
Let me open by saying.... This was a FRUSTRATING week! It truly was a test in patience. The technical issues I faced were numerous. The setup, shuffle, re-setup, move around of the studio, AND on top of that the technical issues.... lets just say it was rough. BUT I made it and can finally get this second episode posted! Which means there will likely be two this week!
This episode we chat about the dangers of putting your kids online and exposing them to predators, or frankly even just strangers, on the internet. I go in a little bit of detail about the huge dangers of Parasocial relationships that are being formed with children as well as their parents.
I also talk about 4 different vloggers that I want to keep an eye on to see the trends they follow and what comes of it. The goal is to see if the clicks, likes, views that come along with pregnancy and babies is enough to influence them to keep their child online and expose them to the harsh crewel world that is the internet.
I hope you enjoy this episode and as always let me know what you would enjoy seeing!

Episode 1 - A Long Winded Rant
Hello Everyone and welcome to De-Influenced episode 1! I'm soooo stoked to finally be posting! I've been talking about it for so long it feels great to finally hit post!
That being said, this is my first ever attempt at a podcast sooooo it's a little rough! I'm figuring out audio and set up since half my house is under renovation! I welcome all tips and tricks for improvement, especially audio!
This first episode is actually recorded in two parts. I was testing out my new mic for the "bulk" and then recorded the intro after! So its a little backwards! It is basically a long winded rant about influencers! I touch a little bit on some big breaking stories of 2023 and the dangers that come with blindly idolizing influencers. We touch on Colleen Ballinger a little bit, Ruby Franke and others who made poor decisions last year, and the dangers behind their actions.
Let me know what you think! Who do you want me to look into?
