In this episode of the Bigger Sister Channel Community Podcast, Tilly chats with Nova Hawthorn, a trailblazer in the sex industry and the owner of Australia's first cam studio. Nova shares her inspiring journey from the isolating and ‘learn-as-you-go’ beginnings in the industry to achieving remarkable success.

We dive deep into the challenges and triumphs she has faced, exploring how she navigated the complexities of the industry to become a powerful entrepreneur. Nova opens up about the isolation often experienced by sex workers and the resilience required to build a thriving business in a stigmatized field.

In this episode Bigger Sister Channel explore the possibility of sex worker cooperatives with Mama B and our managing director Estelle Lucas. We explore the idea of alternative, innovative business model of co-operatives within the sex work industry, now made available with the decriminalisation of sex work.
Discussions range from ‘finding your niche’ within a heavily saturated industry, to challenging capitalism as a system through the formation of sex worker co-ops. Mama B shares her insights into this rarely discussed business model, and we imagine the possibilities of combining forces for mutual benefit. In an already isolating industry co-ops could solve a number of problems sex workers face; including safety, financial stability and loneliness.

Welcome back to another episode of the Bigger Sister Channel community podcast. Today’s episode features our host Tilly interviewing Naarm (Melbourne) based worker Chloe Dixon. Chloe shares her journey in the sex industry and financial attitudes, revealing her alignment with "chaotic Katie" and her challenges in managing fast money. They discuss financial empowerment, industry stigma, and navigating relationships with differing financial attitudes. Chloe shares her lessons and steps, including using the envelope method for budgeting and increasing super contributions. Key advice includes prioritizing financial transparency, setting up manual systems like the envelope method, and prioritizing long-term financial stability like super contributions, especially in industries like sex work with irregular income.
