Incase you need to hear it. If you are an independent SW supporting yourself. You don’t need to feel like you need another job to “prove your worth”. You are literally a SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEUR. That’s enough 👏
It’s me, I need to hear this. It is exhausting when you tell someone what you do and its looked down upon. I absolutely love what I do. But I do wish people could see how much goes on behind the scene to do it.

Annnd... You have worth regardless. Nothing you do or don't do changes your worth. No success or failure changes your worth. You were a contribution to this world from the jump. ❤

There are so many transferrable skills we learn too! I was looking at someone's website for another business yesterday & was like "this isn't optimized for mobile," I wouldn't have known what that was before working on my websites & now it's second nature hehe
@Elise_JensenSF
Absolutely! Every time I am dying in admin/web stuff I whisper to myself “you are developing transferable skills” and it makes it a little less painful 😂
@datetaylorlove
Yes with a caveat. If part of your shtick is encouraging a person to ignore their family for you or deprive their kids for you, then you have something to he ashamed of. This shouldn't be part of sex work anymore than police brutality is part of being a cop.

If someone asks you what you "do", you could say you are an entrepreneur running a successful adult (or "personal") entertainment business. If they ask for more detail, tell them it's hard to explain in a few words, and you'll send them a link later. Tactful deflection.
