Interesting topic. A lot of Dommes (or other SWers) I know had another vocation before finding their calling in Femdom.

In the past, I had a background in media (radio, voice overs, TV, newspapers, magazines). Back in the day, I had my own call in show. This experience lent itself well when I worked for nearly a year for Redlight Central TV in UK doing something similar called The Domme Show.

I also worked as an executive secretary at a boardroom level for a few years. This role inspired my office domination series called Bellatrix Inc where I use a lot of corporate jargon in a Femdom context.

I feel that all of my experiences in my former "civilian" life were transferrable skills which have definitely shaped my brand and creative process.
