Social media influencers started becoming a rage in the early 2010s. There are many reasons why they have rose to fame. For starters, they share authentic content with a tinge of aspirational value. We’ve now also seen a rise in momfluencers or mommy influencers on social media. Why? The reason is simple. They showcase to women out there what motherhood is really about. Some break the expectations of being a super mom while others show how they really balance their lives and motherhood. Relatability is what we, humans, strive for after all.
This Mother’s Day, we put together a list of 5 Indian social media influencer moms you need to follow right now, whether it is for parenting advice or seeking inspiration.
Madhurima aka Maddy is a social media influencer who is also a full-time working mom. What we love about her content is that it looks like peeking into a mother’s mind – her worries, balancing work, personal life and motherhood, and some everyday thoughts of a working mother. Some of her posts about mom guilt, teaching the child the importance of saying “no”, and the negative impact of imposing unrealistic expectations on kids, just stole our hearts.
You don’t have to be an Indian mom to follow Poonam Sapra and her brilliantly-put life advice. She brings a perspective of life’s complexities with a simpler lens and a tinge of humour. She even gives a few tips on how to make your mom happy, which might come in handy for you this Mother’s Day. Don’t miss some fun content Poonam posts with her son, it’ll surely remind you of your own mom!
