So you wanna perform? Put it in writing! ✍🏽 | Jaded and Faded Convos S2 Episode 3
Tonite, we’re digging into the hard lesson that taught me to stop letting excitement override common sense. We’re talking about: • When someone hypes you up just enough to lure you in…but can’t deliver a damn thing they promised • How being glamorized can slip into straight-up exploitation if you’re not careful • Why asking for deposits isn’t “being difficult” — it’s protecting your time, your coins, and your peace • The real consequences of saying yes to every opportunity just because it sounds shiny • What happens when you trust a “leader” who looks polished online but folds in real life • Why contracts matter more than compliments • And how one Miami disaster taught me to never move, travel, or teach off vibes alone This episode is for anyone who’s ever booked a gig off good faith, ignored the red flags because the opportunity felt big, or spent money you didn’t have chasing something that wasn’t solid. It’s your reminder that your craft is valuable, your time is currency, and every performer deserves protection — on paper and in practice. Because out here? If it ain’t in writing, it ain’t real. 🔔 Subscribe for more pole dance insights, tutorials & vlogs! Don’t forget to like, share, and turn on notifications so you never miss a video.

Every Opportunity Ain’t Gold ✨ | Jaded and Faded Convos S2 Episode 2
Tonite, we are talking about: • The difference between real community and people playing leader for clout • Folks who preach integrity but crumble when accountability knocks • Brands built on shaky foundations and shiny social media illusions • When “adding people to your vision” is really just dragging them into chaos • How mixing personal mess with business will expose someone’s true character instantly • And why listening to someone’s actions — not their big talk — will save you every time This is for anyone who’s ever ignored the red flags, believed the pretty packaging, or stepped into a space that looked like gold but turned out to be dust. It’s a reminder that discernment is a skill, boundaries are protection, and not every open door deserves your footsteps. 🔔 Subscribe for more pole dance insights, tutorials & vlogs!

📸 “Lights, Camera, Chaos: How to Choose a Good Videographer | Jaded and Faded Convos S2 Episode 1
From missed deadlines to dead communication and straight-up wasting people’s money and time, this episode breaks down why vetting your videographer is non-negotiable. I dive into the red flags I ignored, and the must-have qualities when choosing a good videographer. We also get into: • How to protect yourself with contracts (because handshakes ain’t protection) • Why creative professionals need to stop playing with clients’ coins, time, and trust • And how to walk into your next booking confidently, not blindly If you’ve ever been burned by somebody who don’t know how to be a videographer with more ego than skill, or you just want to avoid being the next episode in someone else’s chaos, this one’s for you. 🔔 Subscribe for more pole dance insights, tutorials & vlogs!

“Pole is Therapy but…” | Jaded and Faded Convos Podcast Episode 4

From students to business owners, having access to a pole studio can connect you with incredible minds, a supportive environment, and the strength to push through tough times.
