About this episode
This week on Holly Randall Unfiltered, we sit down with the fiercely unapologetic and refreshingly candid Gal Ritchie—a rising star whose journey from professional dominatrix in the UK to award winning adult performer is anything but ordinary. In this episode, Gal opens up about her early beginnings, and the unconventional upbringing that shaped her confidence. With a progressive mother who brought her to burlesque shows and avant-garde art performances about sexuality, Gal was encouraged from a young age to explore her identity as a performer—not shamed for it. She talks about how this open environment helped her make safer, more informed choices in sex work and why she feels proud—not victimized—by the path she’s chosen. Gal also shares what it was like shooting her first adult scenes, winning the coveted Best New Performer at XBiz and AVN, navigating cultural differences after moving to Los Angeles, and what it’s like building friendships outside the industry. She offers razor-sharp insights into stigma, empowerment, and the freedom of separating sex from emotion. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the power of self-expression, the realities of sex work, and the courage it takes to live life on your own terms. ____________________________________________________________ Patreon members get the VIP treatment: uncensored, ad-free, and a bonus Q&A!
