A
church pastor who has become a stripper says her new job has given her life
skills that have made her a better parent.
Nikole
Mitchell, born and bred in a baptist family in Ohio, US, became very religious
in her 20s – spending six years not even kissing a man as she said "Jesus
was my boyfriend".
But
when she started evaluating her sexuality she decided to change her career from
a pastor to a stripper.
She
now says she believes her career change is giving her children a far better
start in life than they would have had if she remained religious.
Speaking
to the Holly Randall Unfiltered podcast, Mitchell says she and her children
freely talk about sex, consent, bodies and what’s right and not.
“[We
have] All kinds of conversations and equipping them with tools that I was never
equipped with as a kid growing up,” she said.
“It is now so important to me now as a mum to teach my kids these things so
they have these skills for a life time, for dating, relationships, for their
working environment for who they become, whatever they end up doing these are
life skills everyone needs.
"I would say my work has prepared me and helped me with that better than
anything else in my life."
Nikole
admitted she "had a lot of fear" leaving religion, as she worried her
kids would "go mad" at her for missing out on the
"community" of the church.
“Are they going to feel ashamed of me, are they going to be mad at me for
embarrassing them with the internet content, all the fears that you can think
of, I have thought about them a million times more than any other person?"
But having seen other people be porn stars and have children, she spoke with
the pornstars and from it was the right move for her
“Now I am where I am, I feel that not only my sense of sexuality but the sex
work I do is so much healthier than this sex mindset that I grew up with in the
church," she said.
"So I think that the most toxicity you can have about sexuality, sex,
bodies, can come from the kind of church that I came from and I remember
looking at the big picture and thinking I’m giving my kids a much better
gift."
Now the former pastor earns around £70,000.
