Often times, our clients like to dump on us. No, not literally (but maybe they do?!) but moreso dumping on us the woes from life, work stressors, home life, depleting marriages and more. Sometimes our services are sought out for that nurturing care, the the support, the embrace...which is why crises counsellor and fellow SWer, Fiona Dawson , is joining me on this week to speak just about that! Fiona share this perspective that sex work is care work. She compares our work with those who are in th...

This week I am speaking with Clover , a FSSWer who is living with fibromyalgia. Clover opens up about how she got into sex work and how she is able to deal with such a painful, chronic illness. As we all know, sex work can be a very viable choice for those who live with a disability, due to its accessibility and flexibility with scheduling. Clover's disease causes a lot of pain to her so she's had to cancel on clients in the past before. She's advertised her illness on her booking site and becau...

I've always wanted to do an episode on arrangements. Yes, I am very touchy when it comes to sugar babying and arrangements because I have thoughts on the topic (one day there'll be an episode this, I promise) so when Emily Monroe popped into my feed, I was like, "it's time". Emily is a FSSWer based in NYC and has had a ton of experience when it comes to both semi-exclusive and exclusive arrangements. While it may be the ultimate goal to exclusive, Emily heeds on how this might not be a realistic...

We've got an interesting take on today's episode. I was inspired by a recent blog post by fellow content creator and FSSWer, McKenna King , on anon accounts. If you're unaware of what anon accounts are, they are anonymous accounts usually on Twitter/X which are used for sharing memes, satire, and overall, lightheartedness. On the flip side, it can be used to share some hard truths and vulnerabilities in the industry. Because our industry is so nuanced, we need a natural release, an outlet of som...

This is Part 2 of my conversation about breast augmentation! As we all know, a lot of us consider or have considered getting breast augmentation surgery. We've spoken about it at length last week on things to consider, doing your research, pre and post-op care and more with the lovely Caitlyn Brooks. But I wouldn't be the podcaster that I am without at least discussing the ugly side of the coin: we're talking about how breast surgeries can go horribly wrong.
