It's been nearly one year since we heard from Savannah. She and her partner, Mountain Man Link, joined us for last years Valentine's Day couples episode. This time, she's returning with a new last name and a new outlook on life. Savannah Hart talks to us about her rebranding and the burnout that preceded it. She discusses the tactics that she used to move forward from that burnout moment and find ways to make the work better suited to what she wants out of life.

This week we talk with Chris Ballbelly, a belly-bloat content creator. He talks to us about the belly-bloat fetish community, the importance of listening to your body while creating this kind of content, and being a content creator with autism. It's an interesting conversation with a charming individual about a niche area of sex work. Enjoy!

This is the second half of my interview with Makeda Joi, an escort based out of Atlanta, GA. Last time, we talked about compassion, toxic masculinity, and privilege. The last half of our discussion is dedicated to all things joy and resilience, something we could all use more of right now. 3

This week, we get to speak with Chad, a Texas-based male escort and friend of mine. He shares with us his perspective on sex work being healing in two directions, both for him and his clients. We also talk extensively about STIs and PrEP. We talk about stigma of various kinds revolving around sex and sex work and how they can crop up in non-profit settings, even when the organizations mission is to serve sex workers.
