Martha Stewart: The Domestic Goddess Who Went to Prison! Martha Stewart isn’t just the queen of centerpieces and perfectly folded napkins — she’s a woman whose life has spanned modeling contracts, Wall Street, billion-dollar empires, federal indictments, and yes… prison at “Camp Cupcake.”

This week, we’re joined by our friends Tess & Claire from Right Answers Mostly to dig into Martha’s remarkable (and scandal-filled) life. From kissing strangers on her honeymoon, to becoming America’s first female self-made billionaire, to her unlikely friendship with Snoop Dogg — Martha’s story is proof that perfectionism and ambition can build an empire… but they can also land you in hot water with the feds.
