The Young Sex Worker

The Young Sex Worker

Soberly Speaking · 2025-05-14

At just twenty years old, Molly is the youngest guest I’ve had on the show.

She grew up in a stable home, surrounded by a loving family and parents who adored her. But everything shifted in high school; she started having sex, smoking weed daily, and taking Xanax regularly.

On her 17th birthday, Molly urgently needed money to fund her new habit. A call to the local massage parlour and she officially entered the sex industry...

For the next two years, Molly lived a life most people couldn’t even imagine.

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses themes of substance abuse, sex and underage exploitation.
