Episode Synopsis

Hey Weirdos!I'm thrilled to welcome the face and wisdom behind 'With Love Shell', Shell Johnson, the De-influencer we all know and love on Instagram, as she disrupts the scroll with relatable doses of humbling and reassuring reality.Shell is an advocate for authenticity online, risking her own vulnerability to help us all feel more normal. From real skin and lifestyle to real thoughts and feelings, she makes content to help us all feel less alone when we scroll through AI, filters & highlight reels online. She is a mum who has recently quit her job, hoping to make enough of an income from social media to keep her daughter at home with her.In this vulnerable and honest chat, Shell and I discuss the impact of filters and Ai, sharing personal anecdotes and our fears and worries for the future. We also discuss De-influencing and Shell’s incredible mission to balance out the filtered fakery on the gram with real life reminders that we’re all textured humans with visible pores and overflowing laundry baskets! We cover SO many topics in this meaty episode, such as:Body imageOverconsumption The power social media has on usSelf love, self acceptance and self perceptionCompeting with a fake version of yourselfOur responsibility as parents in the Ai worldAll things Ai - Ai bias, Ai content, Ai influencers and even Ai from beyond the grave!This is a truly thought provoking episode and hopefully it’s going to make you think twice about using Chat GPT as your PA, and embracing a wholesome, human life. We would love to hear your thoughts on this very topical topic!Reach out to us on @workitweirdo on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/workitweirdo/CONNECT WITH SHELLInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/withloveshell/MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEAi from beyond the grave - https://www.npr.org/2025/05/07/g-s1-64640/ai-impact-statement-murder-victimShell's scary scream from her Ai self - https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFa7i-VOwiP/Lorde at The Met Gala - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14681379/Lorde-wardrobe-malfunction-stuck-Met-Gala.html Hosted on Acast.
