Jessa Ray Muse - Blacklisted photographers, the ”camel toe” ”compliment”, being a mom, & rising from being outcast by popular models

Author: Kristy Jessica April 6, 2023 Duration: 1:13:17
Jessa Ray is controversial to the traveling nude model scene- but the reason for that might seem a bit odd... You have to listen to the episode to find out!  A mom of two with a devoted husband, Jessa has been modeling full time since the summer of 2021, but has a total of 11 years of modeling experience. She started her creative freelance life as a hola hooper - active in events and street performing.  Getting turned down and outcast by popular models did not seem to stop her, and Jessa now has turned her desire for multi-model collaborations into a photoshoot excursion business called Muses of the West (check it out here: www.jessaraymuse.com/workshops-events/ ) You can also follow Jessa on IG at https://www.instagram.com/jessaraymuse  cover image by Kat Kingston

Hosted by Kristy Jessica, Sunrise Life-beyond skin deep conversations with freelance nude models pulls back the curtain on a profession often shrouded in mystery and misconception. This isn't a series of sensationalized tales, but a grounded space where traveling freelance models speak candidly. They share the full spectrum of their lives-the genuinely awesome and liberating moments alongside the occasionally creepy or challenging encounters on the road. Each episode reveals how these individuals navigate the same complex human struggles as anyone else, from financial instability and social anxiety to overcoming shame or leaving toxic relationships. The core of this podcast is found in that raw confiding, where vulnerability becomes a strength. By focusing on these deeper conversations, the series moves past the surface to explore how connection and understanding are built. Listeners will hear authentic dialogues that are by turns entertaining, thought-provoking, and deeply relatable, reminding us of the shared experiences that unite us all. Tune in for a unique perspective that artfully blends personal narrative with broader themes of society, art, and culture.
