In the first episode of 2023 I am grateful to be able to bring you the story of two young ladies who were taken advantage of. Near the end of December I was contacted by a girl saying she had been a victim of a Sugar Daddy scam on TikTok by someone. As she sent me screenshots and dove into her story, another girl reached out with a similar story…So I thought. You are about to hear first-hand accounts of how easily and wide spread online scams are. Two girls, from two different backgrounds, end up at the same place. The wrong side of an online sex work scam. ** The identities of the young ladies involved in this episode has been concealed for their privacy. I want to make it clear that these are the types of hurdles sex workers deal with on a daily basis, and their predators feel empowered by the shame put on them from others. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/harveybanksandfriends/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/harveybanksandfriends/support

What's the most important thing in a relationship? Is it your partners responsibility to provide you with what you need? If so, why? Can/Should you be responsible for making each other “Happy”? Why is it that relationships are the only thing in life that we hold to the monogamy standard? Not careers, friends, goals, etc. Would you rather be loved or respected in your relationship? Why is love one of the few situations where we throw the data out the window? Logic tells us that “forever” isn't the norm, it's a statistical anomaly, but we still chase that.. why?
