I talk to actress, blogger, and babysitter Mattie Jo Cowsert about her new book "God, Sex, and Rich People: A Recovering Evangelical Testimony." We dive into Mattie Jo's wild ride from growing up in a super-strict evangelical household in Missouri to her eye-opening experiences in NYC that totally flipped her views on faith, sex, and money. Mattie Jo gets real about leaving her religious community, figuring out sex and relationships in NYC, and her gig babysitting for mega-rich families. We talk about all the messy stuff - purity culture, rethinking your beliefs, and the crazy differences between how the rich and the rest of us live. We don't shy away from tough topics like sexual assault, religious hypocrisy, and how having big bucks affects everything from your daily life to politics. Mattie Jo shares some deep thoughts on growing as a person, learning to accept yourself, and why it's so important to question what you've always been taught. This episode is a no-holds-barred look at one woman's journey to figure herself out and what she's learned along the way. If you're into exploring faith, society, or just want to hear an honest conversation about life's big questions, this chat's for you!

In this episode, I chat with the one and only Joe Kenda - yep, that homicide detective you've seen on Investigation Discovery. We get into the nitty-gritty of true crime and why we're all so obsessed with it. Joe's got some wild stories from his 21 years on the job, including how he solved a mind-blowing 92% of his cases. But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom - this guy's got a wicked sense of humor. We talk about everything from his lie-detector-like instincts to why confessions are rarer than you'd think. Joe also gives us his take on how crime has changed over the years and even shares some thoughts on gun control that might surprise you. So, if you're into true crime, or just want to hear from a real-life detective who tells it like it is, this episode's for you. It's a wild ride through the dark side of human nature, with plenty of laughs along the way.
