Life After MLM

Welcome to DAY 9 of 9 DAYS OF HOLIDAY MAGIC! WE DID IT!!!!!! I hope your season is filled with the embodiment of HOLIDAY MAGIC, as we count down to 2022!Jenni Wild is a PURE DELIGHT, and if you haven't heard of her until now, get ready to fall in love. Her content is filled with fact based education and empathetic compassion, while still being HILARIOUSLY charming and wholesome. She's got an amazing cast of characters she portrays on social, and her Drew Barrymore impersonation is air tight, but she brought back and old favorite just for us. I think we need a TikTok debut! As a former Monat Hun and someone with trichotillomania, Jenni has an interesting perspective on targeting those with hair loss that's valuable for anyone still in and finding themselves repeating these behaviors. We also touch on #WFABB and iGenius, and how the product doesn't really matter.Show Notes Follow Jenni on Social!Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thejenniwild/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thejenniwildTelexFree - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TelexfreeStu MacMillian, Ponzi CEO - https://behindmlm.com/companies/telexfree/stuart-macmillan-interim-ceo-of-a-nonexistant-business/Dr. Steven Hassan's BITE Model - https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model/Ponzinomics by Robert L.

Welcome to DAY 8 of 9 DAYS OF HOLIDAY MAGIC in the month of December! Named after the spirit of the season AND the MLM that was shut down by the FTC in 1974 after being found to be operating as a pyramid scheme. Check out our Giveaway before it ends! I hope your season is filled with the embodiment of HOLIDAY MAGIC, as we count down to 2022!You may know her on social media as any number of her hilarious personas; Barb, the confused empty nester, Kkayleighee, the classic hunbot, or my favorite, Skeem Lee, the empathically intense MEGAHUN, but Mallory Grantz is much more than a cast of characters. As a music teacher by day, it's no surprise that she's loaded with talent and comedic timing. We chat about a lot of different topics including her participation in Tupperware and Perfectly Posh, and how MLM's take advantage of natural disasters and national tragedy in the name of sales.Show NotesFollow Mallory on Social!Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/idontwantnohuns/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@idontwantnohuns?lang=en"I'm a Good Person" - https://www.tiktok.com/@idontwantnohuns/video/7032461594659474693Dr. Steven Hassan's BITE Model - https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model/Ponzinomics by Robert L.

Some accounts may be triggering. Please listen at your own discretion. This is meant as a companion series to the Amazon Docuseries, LuLaRich, and the Discovery+ show The Rise and Fall of LuLaRoe and is in no way affiliated with the films.*If you've seen The Rise and Fall of LuLaRoe, you're familiar with Carla Hadfield, the owner of the Airstream and Sam's biggest victim. As with most exposes, a lot gets left on the cutting room floor, so when Carla expressed concern that some of what she shared might be cut out due to time constraints, I invited her to spill her guts to us. While Carla's MLM story isn't much different than most, what happened to her at the hands of a predator inside the organization definitely is. Through a series of vulnerable events, coercive conversations, and emotional manipulation, Sam stole almost everything Carla had, until she decided to fight back.Show NotesWatch The Rise and Fall of LuLaRoe now!

I am thrilled at what she's been up to and what she's accomplished in the last few months since we talked! She's created an AMAZING workbook that helps work through some of the processes of leaving MLM, by asking tough, but compassionate questions that create some personal introspection and awareness. It is a FANTASTIC accompaniment to those already personally working through these issues, or currently in therapy for them.

When she first saw me, she hated me, and that crack I talk about when helping people see MLM for what it is and get out? That's how it started. Over the next few months Erin went from culty MegaHun to educated AntiMLM Advocate, filling the hole in the community as someone finally speaking out about Pruvit, those ketone videos on TikTok, and their WILD Promoters with cult-like followings, who's stans aren't afraid to play dirty.

IT WORKED YOU GUYS!!! Jess makes some of the funniest, brutally honest ExHun content on social media that I have ever seen. She is unapologetically herself, owns her mistakes and uses them to educate for good. In our chat we discuss the internal struggle of being "at the top" of the pyramid, what it REALLY looks like as you climb the pyramid, and what it REALLY takes to stay there. It might look like being in the 1% is worth all the time and effort, but Jessica's deep inside look at her time in ItWorks! paints quite the opposite picture.Show NotesJessica's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiOp5s0qbquFOrKRpIpCwvAJessica's TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thejessicahicksonJessica's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thejessicahickson/Love Has Won - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Has_WonYOU CAN'T SCAM AN EX-SCAMMER, HUN!!

Listeners of the show receive 10% off their first month of online therapy by visiting betterhelp.com/mlm.Welcome to DAY 1 of 9 DAYS OF HOLIDAY MAGIC in the month of December! After toying around with a multitude of inclusive yet topical names, I landed on 9 DAYS Of HOLIDAY MAGIC, named after the spirit of the season AND the MLM that was shut down by the FTC in 1974 after being found to be operating as a pyramid scheme. I hope your season is filled with the embodiment of HOLIDAY MAGIC, as we count down to 2022!In August 2021, I heard about an MLM that was gaining popularity on social media called Black Oxygen Organics. A group of AntiMLM Advocates joined together to help create content and awareness across all platforms on a mysterious scam selling literal dirt as the cure to literally everything. The Boo Crew was born.On November 23rd, an email went out to all BOO reps, letting them know that the MLM would be closing it's doors amongst recalls, bad reactions, lawsuits, and a growing social media awareness movement.Obviously we had to hop on a zoom to chat with those who could! A bit of a warning, we have, at times, 5 very excited women on this chat, and mute was not always utilized, but I did my best!

Freedom of thought is a universal human right.For our last episode in November for MLM Cult Awareness Month, I knew EXACTLY who I needed to talk to, Laurie Jenks Hale, serial MLMer turned AntiMLM Advocate. Laurie was just 19 years old when she joined her first Multi Level Marketing company. At first the business seemed to be a good fit for her lifestyle as a young Mormon military wife (and veteran!), but no matter how hard Laurie tried, how many companies she joined, or what products she believed in, she could never make it to the top of the pyramid. In 40 years Laurie joined 19 different companies, 29 times and has many stories and experienced insight to share as she takes us down a wild journey of just trying to find a place that feels right, to call home.Show NotesLaurie's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW6sQYZnHAS2XX8m2TE9mDw/featuredSavy's Interview with Laurie! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIFVyR0Q4dY&t=3844sDr. Steven Hassan's BITE Model - https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model/Ponzinomics by Robert L.
