462 | Sex Work, Burnout, and Boundaries with Jessica Smith

In this episode, Eric is joined by Jessica Smith. Jessica was 'accidentally' diagnosed with ADHD at age 25. At age 27, she became a sex worker - specifically an independent webcam model. A combination of creativity, tenacity, and luck helped her to grow a successful business and became one of the top webcam models on her cam site. After spending 5 years in the industry, she unintentionally retired due to social and performance burnout. Jessica attributes a large part of her entrepreneurial success to her ADHD and is now transitioning towards a career in ADHD coaching and streaming video games in her free time! Jessica shares how she was diagnosed with ADHD, her experience in school, her thoughts about her own capabilities, and her view on relationships. You'll also hear how she heard about sex work and her time as a performer, her reasons for leaving the industry, the importance of community for alleviating shame, and her experience in the coaching groups.
