About this episode

The episode features a conversation with Via about her journey from pick-me culture to empowerment, touching on themes of sex work, motherhood, and personal growth.

This week, the Good Moms sit down with creator and liberated baddie, Via, for a raw, hilarious, and deeply healing convo on pick-me culture, sex work, motherhood, and becoming the main character in your own life.   In this episode, you’ll hear: How Via went from “pick-me” dating advice to empowering women online The connection between trauma, sex work, and calling dissociation “empowerment” Why leaving a mentally abusive relationship unlocked her feminine rage How acupuncture + somatic therapy changed everything!

The ladies get into safety, patriarchy, friendship, pussy power, and why sometimes your whole life changes after one needle and one breakup. Tune in to hear how this…
