The Practice

Hi there, and welcome to this week's episode of Charlie's Toolbox. Today, we are going to talk about creating a new life and the moments that inspire you to take that action.

Hello there! Welcome to this week’s episode of Charlie’s Toolbox. Today’s topic is safety. Physical safety as well as emotional safety. I thought this would be a good topic to discuss because I’ve been seeing many tips typically used by experienced sex workers passed off as dating advice.

Like most of you, I now have more leisure time. As a result, I could finally sit down with myself and recognize some of my most hidden but detrimental patterns. One of the truths I had to come to terms with is how deep my core belief of worthiness impacted my relationship with others.
