I explained to my kid that some people will treat her badly because of the work that I have chosen and I am sorry and it is not unique to sex workers. Some kids are shamed because their parents work in trash collection or food preparation. There's a lot of classism that comes up for a lot of people. It's not unique to sex workers.
Parenting is tough, but imagine juggling it with the demands of sex work. In this Mother's Day special of 'A Stripper's Guide', hosts Leilah Feinstein and Erica Sosa sit down with two remarkable women who do just that. Elle Stanger, a certified sex educator and host of 'They Talk Sex Podcast', and Kristen Thomas, a breathwork facilitator and founder of 'Bad Bitches Do Breath Work', share their journeys as sex working moms.
They dive into the nitty-gritty of parenting under society's judgmental gaze, revealing how they navigate these dual roles with grace and grit. The conversation touches on everything from the unique challenges they face to the positive impacts of their work on their children. Elle and Kristen also discuss the crucial need for community support and the push for decriminalizing sex work.
If you're curious about how these moms handle age-appropriate conversations about sex with their kids or simply want to hear stories of resilience, this episode is a must-listen. It's an eye-opening look at the strength and wisdom that come from living life on your own terms.
