Amanda Thickk sits down with iconic performer Ava Devine for a raw, funny, and deeply honest conversation about returning to the industry after a long hiatus, rebuilding authentic confidence, and finding spiritual balance in a high-energy career. Ava opens up about burnout and recovery, why authenticity matters more than ever, how live platforms changed the game, setting real boundaries on set, and the mindset shifts that helped her protect her health, creativity, and peace. We also talk mentorship, 12-step wisdom, trusting a higher power, navigating modern creator culture, building fan connection, and the surprise spark that pulled her back into filming. If you love candid, big-heart, no-ego interviews that blend life lessons with behind-the-scenes insight, this one’s for you.
Listen to learn:
• What made Ava step away—and the moment she knew she was ready to come back
• The habits that helped her restore energy, focus, and self-respect
• How OnlyFans/live platforms put creative control back in performers’ hands
• Why clear boundaries + professionalism matter in today’s creator era
• The role of faith, intuition, and “the pause” in staying grounded
• How to build real connection with fans without losing yourself
