About Me
Hey, I’m Shelby—the voice behind Confessions of a Former Sex Worker. That’s not just the title. It’s the truth.
For years, I lived in a world most people only whisper about. I worked as an escort. Sometimes it was thrilling, sometimes it was devastating—but it was never simple. I walked into it thinking I was in control, and in some ways I was. In others… not so much.
The stories I share here are mine. The feelings are real. The lessons? Hard-earned. Shelby is the name I used then, and it’s the name I use here—because that part of me deserves to speak. The other names you’ll read? Well, they’ve been changed. Or maybe they haven’t. Wink.
This blog isn’t about shock value. It’s about the emotional weight of living that life, what it took from me, what it gave me, and what it meant to finally decide—enough. I wanted more. I wanted peace. I wanted to stop splitting myself into pieces to make other people whole.
So, I write. I confess. I unpack. I heal. And if you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or misunderstood—this space is for you too. Come as you are. No judgment here.
Just truth, one layer at a time.
