Life After MLM

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!

Tamara Rubin's young sons were acutely lead poisoned when a worker on their home wasn't using lead safe practices like he claimed. What followed became a passion for knowledge and public education on heavy metal safety and advocacy best known as Lead Safe Mama. Over the years, Tamara has tested a variety of MLM products with shocking results, including two current scams we won't let up about, Paparazzi and Black Oxygen Organics. Because she's a "citizen scientist" and far better equipped to read the results than we are, I asked her to give us her interpretation on the new digestive results, compare them to her own XFR testing and let us know what we should be worried about and what areas to focus on for the biggest legal impact.Show NotesTamara Rubin "Lead Safe Mama" - https://tamararubin.com/LSM Paparazzi Results - https://tamararubin.com/category/paparazzi/LSM Black Oxygen Organics Results - https://tamararubin.com/2021/12/links-to-all-black-oxygen-organics-lead-safe-mama-test-results-updated-when-new-results-are-published/LSM on Cooper 2009 - https://tamararubin.com/2017/03/toothpaste-conversation/"I did that and I turned out fine" - https://tamararubin.com/2015/02/fine/Crack the Crown YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/BluegrassBlingSavannah Marie on Paparazzi - https://youtu.be/Va6LCu6rRp4Want to send something to Tamara? - https://tamararubin.com/2017/07/subscribe-in-support-of-my-advocacy-work-you-can-become-eligible-to-send-in-a-box-of-your-things-for-testing/DONATE to Lead Safe Mama! - https://tamararubin.com/2017/01/chip-in/Dr. Steven Hassan's BITE Model - https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model/Ponzinomics by Robert L.

Those courses that promise all the secrets to MLM success for the low, low price of $500? I hate those, and so does Michelle Carpenter, a former Beach Body Boss Babe who fell for it. hook, line, and sinker. It's been a topic I've wanted to cover for awhile, so it was fate when Michelle emailed me asking about an episode idea.

You'll start to notice a few changes in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!Tracey Reid returns with ALL THE PAPA TEA!!! I cannot tell you how many comments I get about Tracey's episode, and people asking what she's been up to since the PapaDrama has NOT slowed down. So I hit her up and asked her to come back and share EVERYTHING she's been up to since we last sat down to chat, and IT'S A LOT. Besides the Lead and Nickel allegations, and the third party testing, Tracey also gives us some details on a grassroots documentary with the working title of "PapaPoor", the hate she's received since taking the reigns and exposing Paparazzi on her weekly show, Tea Time.

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.

As a music teacher by day, it's no surprise that she's loaded with talent and comedic timing.

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!

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!

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.

After watching LuLaRich, and diving into the Anti MLM Movement, Elizabeth left her MLM of 3 years, and publicly denounced them on her Facebook page. We talk about the culty ways MLM crept into her life, grooming her from a sick college student, to a young newlywed, the indoctrination into the oily life, and the hoops she jumped through in the name of blind faith.

*This episode is intended for 18+, and contains discussions on disordered eating, compromising situations and mentions toxic ideas on forgiving sexual trauma, in stories as retold by the guest. Please use discretion when listening to this episode if these topics may be triggering to you.*In 2019 "Ariel" joined Optavia as a customer to help her maintain her weight as she weaned herself off cigarettes at 25 years old. Admittedly a bad idea in hindsight, she takes us down a wild ride of what life inside this MLM cult of health and wellness looked like, expensive disordered eating, dangerous caloric deficits, trauma and toxic diet culture. The deeper she got into Optavia, the worse her disordered eating became, counting calories, then binging, punishing herself with extra exercise, and even causing concern to strangers on the internet. "Ariel"'s openness to being so loyal to the cult and "business" lead to finding herself in a scary situation she wasn't sure how to get out of. But it wasn't until the Covid Pandemic and the aftereffects opened her eyes to what she was really involved with.Show NotesDr. A and The System - https://www.habitsofhealth.com/introducing-the-system/#:~:text=Dr.%20A%20is,at%20Grandview%20Hospital.The Medifast Diet - https://www.webmd.com/diet/a-z/medifast-dietAbbey Sharp - https://www.abbeyskitchen.com/Optavia Fueling Hacks - https://www.pinterest.com/tvs329/optavia-fueling-hacks/Optavia Snacks - https://answers.optavia.com/help/optimal-weight-5-1-plan-what-snacks-can-i-haveKat Benson RDN - https://www.tiktok.com/@katbensonrdnMatt VanDerLaar - https://www.tiktok.com/@mattlaarfitSabrina McMullen - https://www.tiktok.com/@beefcake_brinaDr. Steven Hassan's BITE Model - https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model/Ponzinomics by Robert L.

From an MLM hobbyist mother, who ran the gamut from Avon to Tastefully Simple, to John's deeply entrenched Herbalife peddling father, MLM was all around him growing up. I knew getting the perspective of the victims we don't think about, and the side effects of dragging children through the toxic complex of MLM would produce some eye opening discussions. Our conversation started off light but ended up getting pretty deep into some topics I didn't expect, like food poverty, the long lasting effects of growing up in hustle culture, and the buried feelings John has about what he was subjected to as a minor, often against his own will.Show NotesHerbalife Faces a Fresh Legal Hurdle - https://www.barrons.com/articles/herbalife-faces-fresh-legal-hurdle-51601059300LuLaRoe VICE Documentary - https://youtu.be/L6eujSJ0-RUJohn Oliver Last Week Tonight - JD Ridinger "Dimaryp" - https://youtu.be/s6MwGeOm8iI?t=1548Dr. Steven Hassan's BITE Model - https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model/Ponzinomics by Robert L.

We discuss the culture in LuLaRoe, and what it was like being outside the target demographic, the tokenism, two faced lies and how culty it really was. Even as a small fish, who put her everything into it, she just couldn't make it work for her despite every attempt at making Mark's rotten lemons into lemonade.

She shares her journey with me, starting with an out of state Inspire tour where she was one of a thousand women onboarded in one day, and what it was like to be a child free, single woman in an MLM obsessed with marriage and family.

This episode is recommended for 18+ and if you are sensitive to this subject matter, please use your own discretion.*"Michelle" was ride or die with Pure Romance for almost 19 years, after a messy divorce left her a single mom with a hungry teenage son. Although admittedly shy, the experience opened her up and she found she was a natural at recruiting, growing herself an impressively large team. But "Michelle" started to see the rot of Pure Romance from the inside, and what it really took to stay at the top.

Listening to how LuLaRoe spun this disaster into their favor is the word salad you didn't know you needed. We also talk about our own actions in LuLaRoe, admitting to things we had deep buried and forgot about, and shed light on the mindset we were in when we made the decisions we did. My chat with "Melissa" was raw, fun, hilarious and authentic, just like her.

We instantly hit it off, and kept in touch as her husband's military career took them cross country. After LuLaRich came out, "Melissa" reached out and told me she wanted to tell me her story as a "small fish" in LuLaRoe. So many of her experiences mirrored mine, and I know so many more former retailers will connect with her dry humor and "WTF"ery in the ups and downs on her LuLaJourney.

*We had a few technical difficulties with the mic and some fuzzy reverb in a few spots. We did clear it up as much as we could when recording, and again as I edited it for the podcast. Just a heads up!*From the moment I recorded episodes 17 & 18, Russ has been telling me to watch The Slave Circle and reach out to the filmmaker, Alex Semchuck. He thought we would get along and have a lot to talk about, and boy was he right. Alex not only made the film about Smart Circle, he also worked for the company, an MLM you might not see coming. We chat about the many different heads of this hydra, where you might encounter Smart Circle, and what it can look like when you do. Alex and I share some of the biggest red flags for avoiding these scams when navigating online job listings, or even your local grocery store.Show NotesThe Slave Circle - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyCRzBt7GuYAlex's YouTube Channel : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv12xKxM_R-_tzMbfopzsUwDevil Corp - https://thedevilcorp.wordpress.com/Juicy Rhino - https://www.instagram.com/juicyrhino/?hl=enGlassdoor - https://www.glassdoor.com/index.htmDr. Steven Hassan's BITE Model - https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model/Ponzinomics by Robert L.

She's been holding in her story for the last 3 years, and recently found the strength to spill it all on the show. Sheri takes us down a rocky, red flag laden path, where she admittedly ignored all the signs, down unexpected twists and turns of When Boss Babes Attack, to finding herself in the middle of a hacking allegation with "Bully Bill", LuLaRoe's infamous lawyer. She even spills quite a bit of tea on the leader who told people to "sell their breast milk".

*The stories shared in LuLaBitch are our own personal experiences, opinions and allegations of our time in the cult LuLaRoe. Some accounts may be triggering. Please listen at your own discretion. This is meant as a companion series to the Amazon Docuseries, LuLaRich, and is in no way affiliated with the film.*For our first episode of LuLaBitch, we welcome Derryl Trujillo, the charming and stalwart Home Office employee from LuLaRich on Amazon Prime. I first met Derryl back in 2017, right after we had both left LuLaRoe and found Defective. When helping consult on LuLaRich, I KNEW the producers needed to hear what really happened in Home Office and that Derryl was the only one who could tell it. Derryl shares his experiences being hired, dealing with failed launches, Convention 2016 & 2017 (you decide which was worse) and his emotional tear filled realization that he's worth more than this. Who's joining us at Miguel's for Happy Hour?Show NotesWatch LuLaRich on Amazon Prime Video! - https://amzn.to/3k68AxsFollow Derryl on Twitter! - https://twitter.com/derryl_golferFollow Derryl on Instagram! - https://www.instagram.com/derryltrujillo/Got a job for Derryl?
