The Paleo View

What happens when a book about sex work, patriarchy, and motherhood collides with our own messy stories of choice, pregnancy, and parenting? Pure Real Talk and the reality: Motherhood is never simple. In this episode, Stacy and Daynah dive into *spoiler alert* Margo’s Got Money Trouble and end up everywhere from pottery-as-therapy and day drinking confessions to abortion stigma, single mom survival, and postpartum euphoria (yes, it’s real). They unpack the way beauty is currency, the patriarchy still shapes every decision, and how women just keep holding it all together. And because it’s us, we also detour through tramp stamps, 90s nostalgia, and the pop culture comfort food of Netflix binges.
