#09 - Entrepreneurialism & Overcoming Sexual Assault w/ Jessica Lyn of AVA Fitness

It's going to be another threesome on the show this week. Rico and Chloe reached out to me wanting to speak about their unique proposition: offering their services as a complete unit. Both FSSWers, Rico and Chloe met on a whim and were curious about entertaining the idea of perhaps combining their services for a stellar offering: themselves. It's not something you always hear about. The dynamics and true chemistry that comes from a real-life couple brought to life in the bedroom, is something that you just can't mimic. I was curious to hear how they were able to operate together on incalls and outcalls and how they were able to still remain independent within their own lives and work. The concept of compartmentalization and having strong values is something that is instilled within their relationship. We also discuss the importance of role playing and the question of how much of yourself do you might give up in sex work, or, how much of your own personal self is embedded within your work? It's a loaded question and a loaded episode and I had just SO much fun chatting with them. Be sure to listen to the entire episode for some great insight within your own work, duo work or wanting to get into the industry.

Very excited to bring on my friend, fellow pole athlete and stripper, Jenna Elissa. Jenna and I have known each other for sometime and she was supposed to come on before the pandemic hit but she's finally here joining me on the show for a completely different topic: pregnancy. Jenna (at the time of recording) was 38 weeks pregnant, awaiting her first child. As a SWer, it can be both an exciting time in peoples' lives. Exciting to bring life to a little human but terrifying, because planning for income loss, FOMO, and the segregation can be completely isolating and a burden. Jenna opens up to us about managing her own expectations when it comes to her pregnancy journey, what methods she's had to partake in order to not feel anxious or have FOMO, and what she's looking forward to post-pregnancy. It's an intimate, raw and honest conversation that anyone who plans to have a child and go through pregnancy might need to hear.

There has been so much interest in cryptocurrency, blockchain and decentralized systems and with our payments methods constantly being threatened by big financial processors, people have been seeking out alternative methods on how to get paid and other platforms that we can thrive on. Lorilee Fedler, the founder of Fantasy Digital, reached out to me to speak about her new company, a creator-specific platform powered by blockchain. We speak about what we can expect from the platform both as a client and as a creator, how it is structured to "give back" to its creators, and the incentives for all parties. We also discuss and explain in entry-level terms what a non-fungible token is and how Fantasy Digital is injecting more value behind their NFTs. A brief, yet needed discussion on ownership, anonymity and why this might be a viable option for SWers. Lastly, we discuss the monthly NFTease contest that Fantasy Digital is putting on and what that might entail. Of course, I'm no expert at this so I continually would encourage everyone to do their due diligence and conduct proper research before getting into this.

We're in full swing for Season 5! This week, I am bringing on Princess Snow Angel, or Snowy as I like to call her. She is a cam model who shares her story of growing up in a small town, discovering the freedom of cam and the adult industry and how it got her out of there. Throughout her story, Snowy tells us how she was doxxed by a fellow family member, the borders and walls she's had to build up around her family and goes into some other toxic relationships she's had with friends and those around her. These situations, sadly, are not unique to those of us in the adult industry and can be quite commonplace. Although it's a sad reality that happens to many of us, it doesn't mean we should have to go through it alone. Snowy shares with us how she was able to cope, divulges in the support she had during that time, and, like an anthem, comforts us in the fact that life goes on and that we, as SWers, are a resilient bunch. Listen to this powerful episode with Snowy. Watch the video exclusive only on Patreon: patreon.com/strippedbysia I will also be hosting a STRIKE YOUR POSE, a free webinar with PS: Group on Thursday, October 7th at 2pm PST / 5pm EST to elevate your marketing game!

Welcome to Season 5 of Stripped by SIA! Thank you so much for all of your support over the past 3 years - such an honour to be able to share the stories of so many sex workers. To kick off Season 5, I bring on writer, journalist, and sex worker, Cathy Reisenwitz, onto the show! Cathy is an esteemed writer and has written for TechCrunch, VICE, and the Daily Beast and the author of the newsletter, Sex and the State. Cathy joins me in speaking about how politics has shaped sex work and in turn, discusses the role that sex work has in the political sphere. Things like SESTA/FOSTA, as we know, largely affect sex workers and our wellbeing, and is something that came about due to political administration. We also discuss the the roley of journalists when reporting on sex work. Who is responsible here? Should we and how do we include more sex workers' voices so that they are more accurately represented? Such a riveting conversation from such a well-spoken guest! Listen in.

It's been a long time coming but I finally have Bryan Knight's episode out! We waited a long 5 months to finally release this and I am so stoked for you to all join me on my learning journey when it comes to hypnosis and sex work. Bryan is a self-taught hypnotist who incorporates hypnosis into his sex work. Is it all a manipulative tactic? A get rich scheme? Does it have any healing benefits? Bryan and I divulge into these questions and he speaks about it in his own personal experience and is something that is now well-known for. We speak bout cults, clinical hypnotherapy and different hypnotic techniques that may be used with your own potential clients to to help with your own healing. It's such fascinating conversation and it really leans into my curiosity in all facets of sex work so I hope you all enjoy the Season 4 finale! Stay tuned for Season 5 next week!!!

Here's an additional episode for Season 4 before we head into Season 5! I get to interview Oliver Wong of Delphine Films. Oliver is a director and producer of pornography behind US-based company, Delphine Films. They focus on narrative-forward pornography, a perspective which is found in a lot of Asian pornography. We speak about the differences between North Americans and Asians in how they view sex, how they view porn and how it is consumed and perceived. We mention the illegalities of the consumption of producing and consuming porn across the ocean. Oliver also just recently started performing in front of the camera and started an OnlyFans and we speak about the liberation he receives as an artist. We also speak about "ideal" gay bodies in the community, what's perceived as attractive and so much more!

I am absolutely thrilled to bring on Lula Blue of SHIFT Calgary this week onto the show. Lula is a FSSWer based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada who is also a strong advocate for all things sex work-related and who volunteers at SHIFT Calgary, a harm reduction support group for former and current SWers. Lula shares her own story of alcohol addiction early on and the struggles that accompanied that and how it impacted her personal life and even her sex work. On her own road to recovery, she found that support groups were especially helpful in getting her sober. Lula details about her treatment process and stresses the importance of her support groups to enable her to fully heal. She goes on to speak about her volunteer work and the good things she’s doing in her community in regards to advocacy for supporting SWers in Calgary.
