Hi, my lovely Girls Talk fam.

Today's episode includes sexually explicit language, mention of suicide and sexual assault.

If these topics are in any way distressing to you, be gentle with yourself.

This may not be the Girls' Talk episode for you.

Inspired by my own journey with mental health, I founded Girls Talk, our own safe space where we share, listen and support each other.

So get cozy and join me. Adjua Burr for some much-needed girls' talk.

Today we have on the podcast my dear friend Tilly Lawless.

Tilly is a queer, Sydney-based sex worker who advocates for sex workers' rights, amongst many other things.

Without further ado, my friend Tilly.

My God, I don't even know where to begin.

Tilly.

You guys can't see, but we're holding hands.

Is this part of the recording?

Yeah, yeah. It's all part of the recording. You can't see, but we're holding hands because

I've been reunited with my great friend Tilly Lawless, who has come from Australia.

Tilly, welcome to the Girl's Talk podcast. Thank you. All the way, 24 hours travel.

Mm-hmm. She only came for the podcast. She spent vast amounts of money to come to London for the

Girl's Talk podcast. Saying a few days, flying straight back. So we haven't seen each other in ages.

This is how our relationship is. It's been a baby, a baby length time. Exactly. We're always

friends, but our friendship is we get to spend time together in the summer. I met Tilly through

girls talk. I found you on the interweb and we flew you from Australia to New York and you did our first ever

girls talk. Was that the first ever? Yeah. No way. First ever girls talk festival. I had no idea.
