In this episode, we go back to California and its stigmatized ecosystem, with Lindsey Swanson who made it her mission to create an incredible financial support system specifically for sex workers. As the CEO of Stripper Financial Planning, Lindsey offers quality financial advice while protecting her client’s dignity and rights at the same time. 

Discover how really seeing the people in the adult entertainment industry can inspire your financial savvy and also broaden your perspective.
