Bible Belt to Big Apple: Mattie Jo Cowsert's Journey Through God, Sex, and Rich People


Listen Later

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!
