[SWAF-Potluck] World's briefest PCEPA 😊

[Chenoa]

I suggested the idea of creating a blog with a list of go to resources, but the main thing for sexworkers is evaluating our skills, what kind of relationship we have with money and how to blend the two into a career more satisfying than sex work - for some of us that would be a big shoe to fill - and I don't mean moving on to managerial work in sex work, which is great for whom ever wants to chart that water - I am meaning a strong clear process that draws out and validates our strengths and finds key areas that may need twerking  ;)  to shift up the ladder to transition - 

To me it means a solid evaluation of personality, life skills, business skills, talent aptitude, and passions.  For me the question often is - why change when the passion is still here and I have so much luxurious free time?  So a transition has to give me a passionate reason, something that draws me stronger than my present situation- 

I feel like making notes.

I would love a clear picture of the empowered sex worker having served her/ his community with heart and passion being ushered into a new stage of empowered service!

I have been an entrepreneur for so long that this is the only sensible direction for me.  I am currently applying to a private mentorship program I found through that site for just $150.
