Janine has bipolar disorder and has been hospitalized seven times.  Isadora spent most of her adult life as a professional escort and even became the “number one” escort in the U.S.  Janine (Nutty) and Isadora (Slutty) became fast friends in a writing class when they discovered they had both been living on the fringe.  With bipolar disorder, Janine felt like she had to hide the reality of living with mental illness — psychiatric hospitalizations, antipsychotic medications — and to pass as just another happy blonde. Isadora dishes up the practical realities of sex work — client screening, logistics, safety planning, boundaries and emotional strain.  This episode challenges stereotypes about mental illness and sex work by replacing assumptions with specific, lived experiences.  For Isadora and Janine, friendship and trust give them the strength to reveal the secrets that took over their lives.
