At 34, stepping into a strip club for the first time to work as a waitress, I was catapulted into a world where the lines between safety, shame, and empowerment were blurred. Transitioning from waitressing to stripping, and eventually to private escorting, I found myself navigating through layers of personal and societal judgments.

Welcome to Sex, Love, and Soul, where we delve into the less-traveled paths of relationships and personal growth. I’m your host, Mary Knight, and in today’s episode, I share my personal journey from the vibrant punk rock scenes of Houston to the more secluded life of a high-end escort.

Today, I’ll discuss how my perceptions of safety and control influenced my choices, reflecting on how environments that seem risky can sometimes feel safer due to the control they offer over personal interactions. I’ll explore how independence and financial motivations were critical in my decision-making process, and why I ultimately felt more secure in private settings despite the apparent dangers.

This episode is a candid reflection on the complexities of self-discovery and empowerment within the sex industry. It’s a story about finding one’s sense of security and self-worth under unconventional circumstances.
