Mother’s Influence (2025)

Mother’s Influence explores womanhood and aging in relation to social media and family relationships.

Growing up with an unconventional single mother - an influencer navigating aging and body dysmorphia - Meg admires her but questions how it shaped her own self-image. Through laughter and vulnerability, they unpack identity, influence, and the complexities of their evolving relationship.
