CW: (mentoring session review, strong personal opinion)
How do you know if the session was useful?
I spent years in therapy, mixed with coaching, before I understood what was useful and what was harmful. Today, I have very clear criteria. A good coach will almost never tell you what to do. The best ones just listen and ask questions that make you think deeper or see another perspective. That’s pretty much what I was looking for. And what I got.
Last month, I booked an online mentoring session with Her, and it was absolutely amazing and insightful (no sarcasm, I’m deadly serious here). She supported me and said, “Looks like you are all set.” I thought so too. We made a plan.
I was supposed to go to Berlin to film the last bits of season one, shoot a promo campaign, and launch it all at once. However. I badly underestimated my own marketing powers, slightly overestimated some people, and a bit forgot how rude and chaotic Berlin can be.
Long story short: My plan went to shit.
None of the play spaces confirmed my reservations. My editor left the project indefinitely. A week was lost to German bureaucracy. Now, I’m behind on posting plans, content production and promo requests. By now, all six episodes should be out, and I should be on vacation.
It’s not all bad. I got a lot done. Gene’s tickets are on sale, posters are almost ready, many artists are on board, and the first content is leaking into mainstream media — even TikTok. God forgive me.
How is this connected to her?
Well, I thought you are here to learn how dominatrix’s are made.
I initially thought the call was just a vibe check. I was greedy, thinking I needed an in-person meeting to get all the skills and wisdom right away.
I told Her I was grateful for that 30-minute session. And it meant a lot to me to support another sex worker with an online payment. However. Only weeks later did I realize that session worked as therapy for me—a damn good one. And I need another.
So, here’s my honest feedback:
Her calm, professional communication made me reflect deeply on my goals and rethink my summer plan. I realized I don’t need to be greedy. I have plenty of time, and a lot of work is already done.
If I keep running like before, I won’t have time to enjoy the results of my hard work.
So for now I am publishing this post, booking another session with her for this Friday, and checking in to a spa hotel.
