098: Paid Companionship as a Therapeutic Modality with Adele Bardot

In this episode, Elle and Vee chat with paid companion Adele Bardot in a conversation which went somewhere they didn't necessarily expect it to go.  And that's what this theme of going deep is all about: relinquishing control and sometimes talking about really intense stuff like the authentic self.  

Elle and Vee invite you to think of this convo as an insight into how sex work and companionship can be truly great opportunities to dive deeper and seek answers to those questions of, "Who am I?" and "What is my purpose?" and "What brings me joy and lights me up?" and "How can I seek more of that?"
