After hearing her say she had a "normal" childhood, I unfortunately sat and waited for the other shoe to drop. Low and behold, she experienced all sorts of trauma that no child should go through. I've noticed this similarity in a lot of these stories. Their families and experiences have been so dysfunctional they don't even realize that there's absolutely nothing normal about how they lived. Excellent interview. I wish her success and that she'll be able to use her education and life experiences to help others.

Yep same thoughts I had, first "normal" child hood and "just do this for extra cash"... then comes out the whole trauma and abuse stuff at 12. It's a picture with black and white contrast to us but to trauma victims like her they normalize it as a form of denial. You can see her extremely uncomfortable body language at around 23:40, shudders and facial distortions as she re-lives it. I hope she finds help for all this and becomes the person she clearly has the potential to be. If she reads this comment: You were raped, it wasn't your fault, you didn't ask for it, you were just a child, you can heal.

Escorting is not good for society, it takes advantage of lonely men who otherwise would have to learn how to act properly around women in order to get their attention. The amount they charge is absurd and most men feel absolutely pathetic after paying for sex. And they should, they didn't earn it. The downstream effects of living this way is that it creates broken homes and more childhood trauma of the sort that has damaged this poor young woman.

Low self-esteem, low self-worth, trust issues, past trauma, and riddled with shame by pretending to enjoy sex with people who she thinks are disgusting. She preys on the emotions of lonely men for money. Before you @ me, I'm not blaming her and I am not vindicating lonely men. They are both disgusting. The lonely married men are spineless, and the lonely single men are likely awkward or otherwise undesirable. There's nothing beautiful about any of it. It's a dirty business, but anyone with self-respect and self-love will have nothing to do with it. Don't believe me? Go to a strip club, I guarantee someone will make you feel special.

@@LadyRow00 Don't get me wrong, I am not without empathy, and I sympathize heavily for the struggle some people endure as they suffer far greater than some of our own trivial, "normal" people problems in life. But I don't call it beauty. It is the farthest thing from it. As emotionally healthy humans, it is normal to develop a "savior complex" and project our balanced perspective onto those who are self-destructive. I don't believe many of these people have the capacity to establish healthy, loving relationships. Do they have the capability? Sure, but it takes years of possibly therapy to unlearn destructive behaviors to build self-respect and self-love in becoming emotionally healthy. Glorifying and vindicating her lifestyle because we feel sorry for her won't help her or provide her much motivation or solace because on the inside she feels ugly and shameful. I don't disagree with you, but the truth is often bitter. I too wish for her to have success in the rewarding aspects of life that is pair-bonding and love. But staying real, trauma has a way of perpetuating dysfunction. There's nothing stunningly beautiful about it.

I've been watching your videos for the last couple months because it reveals a glimpse into the heartache I have recently come from. My exwife just sent my son a letter from jail and for whatever reason I felt compelled to message you. At one point we were a happy family but fentanyl, and crystal meth put a wedge between us and ultimately landed her in jail. She turned to prostitution and went down a very dark road, filled with very dark people. I'm writing you because all of the videos on your site doesn't come close to explaining the pain and heartache that this lifestyle causes, but you get as close as possible! So thank you, I appreciate your work! Out of the couple of thousand people you have interviewed there are tens of thousands of family and loved ones that are suffering equally!

Hi Valentina! I have watched your video twice. Love that you shed light on generational/genetic depression. For some of us it is literally a chemical imbalance. My mental health is #1. I also have had depression since I was about 6 yrs old. I too love to help people. My work, not matter the title always is Service. My work has to be meaningful. I believe in love/kindred connection but it is rare and I do not lose that belief because of negative experiences. I commend you on being your authentic self and sharing the importance of authenticity. If there is anything I can do to support you please reach out.

Mark has a way to connect with people and make them open up that is remarkable. He does it in a way that is not judgmental.

Then she opened up and told more about her life challenges. She was very open, honest, and well spoken. I think she has a talent to connect with people and if she does become a therapist or counselor she could truly help people. I wish her the best.

[@maureent8653]

@@marisela7825 that’s a great question. I live in PA and even though in a small town, our area has a pretty big caseload of people on probation and parole. To answer your question... I guess I watch to learn more. I have been a parole officer for over 23 years and just when I think I have seen or heard it all, I learn something new. I watch intervention, law and order, chicago pd and criminal minds, I guess these stories get to me and some of them hit close to the people I deal with. I also use to think they were no good junkies but then when someone in my past developed a heroin addiction it hit me hard and I changed my way of thinking... this May will be 2 years since I lost him to a blood infection caused from abusing drugs... it truly is a disease and no one is immune from it. The rich, the poor and the middle class. Drugs don’t discriminate.

[@marisela7825]

@@maureent8653 thanks for replying to my comment. It does make a difference since you are in a different state. I just have always been curious to know who also watches and why. So many people in these lifestyles or with criminal backgrounds have different reasons for why they do what they do. Not trying to make excuses or justify criminal behavior at all, but it is not always just a bad person out to do bad things. I know personally many in similar situations who are truly good people who just had bad life circumstances. No one wants to just be a criminal or be the bad guy. The current state of affairs with so much going on with cops and bad cops people seem to lose sight in the human behind the person they seem "criminal" again just curious to hear your viewpoint. The bad apples definitely have the spotlight right now, but we are all human just trying to get by. The human experience and why people do what we do fascinates me. It's much more complex and individual to everyone. Thank you though for replying.

I am also studying psychology, and this is an excellent case study. Appreciate some of her honesty when it comes to self reflection regarding personal mental health challenges. Early in the interview did you get a sense of low self-esteem or worth, and later 25 minutes into the interview stated she doesn’t consider herself attractive. body language seem to change a little bit more opened up legs no longer crust stated how is she uses it to make money, however when the make up comes off she doesn’t feel attractive. Attractiveness is a whole lot more than looks. No doubt she can work on improving self image and personality, and wishing her only the best for her bright future. Happy to hear of her goals. Also wishing to be more open and honest with her family as one of those goals it’s a positive step in the right direction. No doubt much good will come from her truth in this interview. Good to hear she broke away from that no good creep sending edible unmentionables. Do wish her the best and have a meaningful relationships with men. Her seeing all the guys she gets involved with are disgusting not her type seems like a coping strategy to look at them that way. From their perspective they don’t really wanna have a relationship long-term with her either. Literally they pay her to go away. Please do work on finding yourself more attractive as a person. Being honest with yourself and others is the right step forward and attractive personality will develop. Thank you so much for sharing your personal story. Also glad to see an interview with somebody that wasn’t strung out on drugs. it’s refreshing to see somebody that’s speaking without influence of substances or at least drugs being an underlying reason for much of their situation.
