In this episode, Vivian is joined by returning guest Ms. Ellis Hendrix for a timely and thought-provoking conversation sparked by Ellis’ recent post on X. Together, the ladies revisit one of the industry’s most debated topics: screening through the reference system. Is it outdated? Is participation an obligation — or a personal choice?

They break down the realities of modern vetting and share practical guidance for both clients and companions, including the do’s and don’ts of requesting a reference with respect, boundaries, and intention.

The conversation also opens into a candid reflection on goals, growth, and the vision both women have for 2026.

Thank you for tuning in to the final episode of 2025. See you in the new year!

In this episode, Vivian is joined once again by Paul Cobo of SexyLuxStudio for Part Two of their rebranding series.
This conversation dives deeper into the heart of personal reinvention: Who are you becoming—and why?

Paul breaks down the emotional and strategic challenges of navigating change, emphasizing the importance of understanding your identity, needs, and values as a woman. He introduces a powerful new framework for defining an Authentic Companion Persona—one that blends your personality, background, lifestyle, and long-term goals into a brand expression that feels true, aligned, and unmistakably you. This process is achieved through his Brand Discovery Form

Whether you're pivoting, refining, or completely rebuilding your brand, this episode helps you understand how your current presentation stacks up against your ideal persona—and what steps to take next.

Takeaways

• You know you need a change… But change into what?

• Start with defining who you are as a woman—before you design who you want to become.

• Understanding what matters to you forms the foundation of any rebrand.

• Your personality and background directly shape your identity and presentation.

• Authentic expression is non-negotiable if you want a resonant, long-lasting brand.

• Creating an authentic companion persona is key to aligned rebranding.

• Honest insights into your current presentation can reveal what’s missing.

• Comparing your current self vs. your ideal persona is clarifying—and necessary.

• Your life goals should inform your brand, not conflict with it.

• “Define what’s important to you.”

• “Define who you are as a woman first.”

• “Create an authentic companion persona.”

In this episode, Vivian explores three headline-making stories: a Pennsylvania spa exposed as a front for “trafficking,” a former public defender’s dramatic fall from grace, and the shifting policies and politics of sex work in New York City. 

Together, these cases reveal how law, power, and morality collide in the world’s oldest profession.

Vivian also shares her frustration with how government officials continue to use sex work as a political talking point—casting only female sex workers as “victims” while completely leaving male sex workers out of the conversation. 

Like the majority of sex workers, she reiterates that the only real way to regulate the industry and keep people safe—if safety is truly the concern—is through decriminalization.

Vivian kicks off 2025 with an engaging conversation featuring special guest Ms. Leijla Foss, a high-end Washington D.C. escort and sex work business consultant. Together, they reflect on their New Year’s Eve celebrations and share their personal and professional aspirations for the year ahead.

Farewell to 2024: Gratitude, Growth, and Progress

In this final episode of the year, Vivian extends heartfelt thanks to the show’s devoted listeners and generous sponsors, reflecting on the incredible journey of 2024. She shares highlights from Spotify's Wrapped, revealing impressive growth as the podcast continues to reach and inspire a wider audience.

Vivian then turns her attention to groundbreaking news from Belgium, now the first country to recognize labor rights and protections for sex workers. While this marks a significant step forward, a crucial caveat remains: only those employed by companies are eligible for these rights. Vivian passionately argues that true safety and equality can only be achieved when all sex workers, regardless of their work arrangements, are granted these fundamental protections.

To close the episode, Vivian offers practical advice for clients in the U.S., sharing the number one website for finding reputable escorts.

Wishing everyone a joyous holiday season! Thank you for an incredible year—see you in 2025!

In this episode, Vivian welcomes Mia Lee, a former Wall Street insider turned escort, for an eye-opening conversation.

Mia shares her remarkable journey, revealing the surprising parallels between her start in high-stakes finance, where she worked long hours to survive, and how it is no different from survival sex work.

Together, they delve into Mia’s latest venture—launching a financial investment firm tailored to the unique needs of individuals in the adult entertainment industry. Recognizing the untapped demand, Mia’s firm is set to empower and uplift this often-overlooked community.

Mia also opens up about receiving lucrative job offers from top financial firms AFTER becoming an escort (the firms knew about Mia being an escort), and why she ultimately turned them down. In her candid reflection, she uncovers a stark truth: in the world of finance, success often transcends the boundaries of personal choices, as long as profits are on the line.

In today’s episode of ‘TSEGP What’s in the News’, Vivian examines the long-awaited sentencing of the three Backpage founders: Michael Lacey, Scott Spear, and John “Jed” Brunst. 

Now in their 70s, these men have been sentenced to prison terms ranging from five to ten years, with an additional three years of supervised release. 

They have been ordered to surrender to the U.S. Marshals Service by noon on September 11th.

Notably absent from the court's discussions was any mention of the trafficking victims supposedly rescued—shifting the focus instead to the financial crimes, such as money laundering, rather than the lives affected by trafficking.

This case began in 2018, around the same time our podcast was launched, and it has reshaped our industry in profound ways, alongside the effects of the pandemic. But the question remains: was justice truly served?
