In this episode of High Agency, we sit down with Sarah Edmondson, actor, author, producer, podcaster of @alittebitculty, and the whistleblower who risked everything to expose the NXIVM cult. From her first steps into what seemed like an ordinary self-improvement course, to becoming a leader inside the organization, Sarah unpacks how blurred lines between growth and exploitation can entrap even the most ambitious and idealistic people. She shares how instinct, motherhood, and courage finally led her to break free, bring NXIVM down, and reclaim her voice. This is an honest and revealing conversation about power, language, and the resilience it takes to turn trauma into purpose.
