Life After MLM

It was just past year that Anne took pause and started digging into her admittedly "weird childhood". After listening to the podcast Nobody Should Believe Me, she started to suspect that she may have been the victim of medical child abuse, what is more commonly known as Munchausen by Proxy. With an unhealed and unwilling mother to answer her questions, Anne dove into everything she could consume to process the trauma she experienced as a young girl. In our chat we get into the triggers and possible reasons for her mother's actions, as well as the generational trauma we both are breaking free from.Show NotesNobody Should Believe Me PodcastThe Curious Case of Natalia GraceThe Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose BlanchardMedical Child Abuse : A Review by SubspecialityFactors related to medical neglect recurrence and foster care and adoption servicesWe Came Here To Forget by Andrea DunlopDying to be Ill : True Stories of Medical DeceptionTake Care of Maya (Netflix)Out of MLMThe BITE ModelLAMLM Book ClubMLM DupesHow can you help?MLM ChangeReport FraudTruth in AdvertisingReport to your state Attorney General's office!Not in the U.S.?

Last year I received a heartbreaking email from a mother who had felt she was running out of options; her daughter was stuck in a controlling cult, isolated from friends and family, and she hadn't seen her in years. Over several months I met with Sandy to discuss her story and the history behind how she got here. The more I heard the more I wondered; Was Sandy's daughter a strong, independent spirit? Or was there something more calculated and nefarious at play?Show NotesConnect with Sandy : Facebook | Instagram The Truth About ITOWN Church - Facebook Support GroupAn Open Letter to ITOWN (from a former member)AlopeciaAbout ITownThe Roy's Report re: ARCOut of MLMThe BITE ModelLAMLM Book ClubMLM DupesHow can you help?MLM ChangeReport FraudTruth in AdvertisingReport to your state Attorney General's office!Not in the U.S.?

Gina Pezzullo has a unique perspective when it comes to MLMs and utilizing social media. Back when she first joined in 2001, smart phones, apps and social media didn't exist. In fact, parties were local, in home and came with forms to fill out while you shopped. One single bounced check or declined credit card could wreak havoc on the hostess's entire party. It was a stark contrast to the highly accessible online shopping world today, and it's not surprising to learn that the viral trends of MLM selling impacted how e-commerce operates today.Show NotesPartylite Abandons MLM ModelFacebook Then & Now4 Reasons MLMs Must Harness the Direct Selling Power of Social MediaComment SoldOut of MLMThe BITE ModelLAMLM Book ClubMLM DupesHow can you help?MLM ChangeReport FraudTruth in AdvertisingReport to your state Attorney General's office!Not in the U.S.?

While browsing the posts on Bluesky, Michelle stumbled across a post for a short film using #antimlm called The Downline.
