"Sex work is a feminist issue"... Damn right! Here's the discussion half of the sold out fundraiser we hosted to benefit @St James Infirmary. Thanks to everyone who brought their amazing questions for the Q&A with Pike Long, the org's deputy director.

Transcript: Oh hi, good morning. My name's Ariel. Welcome to Offbeat Resilience. So, most of you are probably familiar with my work through #offbeatbride, which was my first book, that came out in 2007, which then became a website, bla bla. I worked on it for a decade then in 2015, HI SH*TSHOW! First an ovary exploded ('cuz that's a thing that can happen), then I turned 40 (which is a reality check), then my partnership of 18 years very abruptly ended. So! [fart sound] There went that life. And I have spent the last three years putting sh*t back together. And because I'm a nerd, that's meant reading -- endless reading. And endless doing. And endless growth... just *A LOT*. This project is hopefully a book, but also just sharing the process of putting things back together. I don't have any answers, but if you want to stumble along with me, by all means... c'mon in.

Just me, rambling about my odd third book project. If you like this kind of rambling, you should really subscribe to the newsletter: http://eepurl.com/dBiKWn
This is the kind of important biz dev strategy content being posted on Offbeat Bride's Instagram Stories.

Let's talk about Instagram Stories
Just a little note that if you're looking for behind the scenes stuff, lots of it has ended up on Offbeat Bride's Instagram Stories... stuff like how the next book is coming, thoughts on wedding industry stuff, publishing gossip, etc. If that's your jam, follow OBB on Insta: http://instagram.com/offbeatbride
(Also, I should probably write a post for offbeatempire.com about WHY I love Instagram Stories so much. Next time!
How Facebook algorithms and a stupid post about cranky wine relate to the election.
