Summary
This week, Erica and Milah are joined by bestselling author Elizabeth Oveson (AKA Karrine Steffans) to reflect on the 20-year anniversary of her groundbreaking memoir, Confessions of a Video Vixen.
Elizabeth was one of the first women in the public eye to live unapologetically in her truth refusing to censor her experiences, her sexuality, or her voice. Two decades later, she returns to Good Moms Bad Choices to chat about what it means to reclaim her body, her story, and her peace.
In Part 1 of this two-part ep covers:
- The reaction to Confessions 20 years ago, and how telling her story reshaped the industry and even cost her safety
- Why she’s not interested in protecting men and upholding the wrong icons, and why you should stop also!
- What it means to “self-rescue” and why self care goes beyond massages and skin care
- & A fun game of Trigger!
