Life After MLM

The amount of messages I get from people asking me what they can do to help with AntiMLM awareness is humbling. I know so many feel compelled to share, educate and scream from the rooftops about these predatory scams, but feel lost in the space and not sure where they "fit". I first met Laurie through the AntiMLM space and along the way became friends. Although Laurie and I recorded this months ago, it's still a great reminder to those finding their place in this community of amazing people. I also just want to thank her again for all of the help with the Facebook group, along with the entire AdMod team.

But with all this time and effort in the movement, I've never heard Dave's story, which comes from a very ernst place of love and compassion.

Please use discretion.Have you been watching the Monat Dumpster Fire on social media? It's hard to miss if you're following enough AntiMLM content. It all started when Angelique Robles, a Managing Market Mentor had some questions and concerns about things she was seeing happening within the company. What followed can only be described as a shitshow that lead her to reaching out to the AntiMLM community for real answers. I get so many comments about talking to Reps who are still in, so I asked her if she would be willing to chat about her life IN MLM and she agreed! But what happens in the middle of our chat is SHOCKING and literally CANNOT BE MISSED.

To keep continuing our education into Faith Manipulation, we speak to Sabrina Bowen who grew up Jehovah's Witness in a religiously Pro MLM home where her mother was the town's Avon Lady. After 3 failed attempts at various MLMs, it wasn't until years later, that she even realized what she had been a part of and connected the commercial cult experience to her time in JW.'s. Thanks to an episode on A Little Bit Culty that opened her eyes to the red flags she had hidden for so long, Sabrina reached out to me to chat about AmeriPlanUSA, an MLM that even I wasn't familiar with the claims to be "Not like the others".Register for our LLS Team! - https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/2bf031cdae16440cbd22a392dc36dfd9We started a YouTube Show!
