The Jess Rowe Big Talk Show

Lucia Domenica's life has been nothing short of fascinating. She's an author, a mother, and her career has spanned from working as a phone sex line operator, to working as a receptionist at brothels. Her stories are incredible, and they’re part of her memoir Operator 56. In this compelling conversation, Lucia opens up to Jess about her time in the sex industry, what she learned about men, and how she found a different kind of family with the women she worked with.
