Marcella is a wise woman with a desire to give back to the world. She says it’s because she’s “churched.” I really enjoyed this conversation. It felt like two women sharing stories over coffee. Listen and let me know what you think!

Mike Walsh is dying a multi-millionaire. He will leave behind his wife, four sons, his father, and sister, and countless other family and friends who love him dearly, including myself. I've celebrated my birthday every year with Mike for years because we are only days apart. I asked Mike if I could share his story, so that we could learn from his generosity and success. In his own words, he tells us exactly how he did it. But first, he shares his cancer story.

Mike has a wealth of knowledge to share. I’m so grateful that he allowed me to memorialize his incredible life this way for his descendants. Listen and let me know what you think!

MISSION POSSIBLE WITH SUSAN DAVIS

“These days, she coordinates multiple groups and projects to increase health and safety in the sex industry. You will also see her during Committee Meetings in the House of Commons when she submits her briefs to ensure sex worker voices are heard at a political level.”

Welcome to the very first episode of The FEARLESS LIVING Podcast! The podcast that features people who are living fearlessly. Every voice matters. Outcasts are welcome.

For our inaugural episode, I interviewed Susan Davis. She is a very dear friend of mine. We’ve known each other for over 20 years. Susie mentored me in advocacy and activism, along with Raven Bowen, Amanda Bouchard, and others. I’ve learned from the best. She was at the early Exotic Dancers for Cancer events (and the later ones) that we put on after I founded The Naked Truth, and today, Susie and I are partners with Velvet Steele – running the Naked Truth and Naked List together. You can find out more at nakedtruth.ca

Susan Davis has been fighting for the rights of sex workers since before I came on the scene. She’s been seen in the news frequently, as a sex worker who is willing to go on record with her face out. These days, she coordinates multiple groups and projects to increase health and safety in the sex industry.

You will also see her during Committee Meetings in the House of Commons when she submits her briefs to ensure sex worker voices are heard at a political level. Today, we are going to talk about the reality of being a sex worker in Canada and what sex worker activists are doing to improve health and safety.

This interview will interest colleagues in the biz but it will interest trailblazers with other causes too. Learn how to hold those with power accountable for their actions.
