The world is obsessed with cults –– and there are more documentaries and true crime podcasts than ever on some of the most controversial organizations.

To better understand how these organizations operate, we sat down with Dr. Janja Lalich, who has dedicated her life to the study of cults and helping members and their families get out and recover.

Women are told from a young age to make themselves smaller –– physically, mentally, and emotionally. This leads to playing small in our careers, with our finances, and in so many other ways in our day-to-day lives. These messages usually start in wellness spaces with the often toxic messaging around the New Year that only encourages this continuous pursuit of being “small.” So we sat down with Sadie Lincoln, the founder of Barre3, to talk about getting comfortable taking up space in all aspects of our lives (but especially physically), why she rebuffs the idea that anyone needs a guru, and how she used the same resilience she teaches in class to keep Barre3 alive even when the pandemic threatened to close its doors.
