In this After Party, Emily Foster, Jessie Sage, and Jessiee's mom discuss Ruby Lynne's recent WWNH podcast appearance. They emphasize the importance of humanizing and destigmatizing sex work by introducing and integrating personal relationships into their content. Jessie and Emily reflect on how bringing in friends and family provides a more holistic view of sex workers' lives outside their profession. The conversation also touches on the experiences of Ruby Lynne, a content creator and former social worker who transitioned into sex work later in life, highlighting the challenges and perceptions faced by older sex workers.

The discussion delves into the financial uncertainties of being self-employed, with all speakers acknowledging the ebb and flow of income from running a small business. Jessie shares personal anecdotes about managing cash flow and the unpredictable nature of their earnings. They hope that their dialogue will help listeners understand that financial instability is a common thread among small business owners, not a sign of failure.
