Chelsea welcomes back Kate Casey to break down former child influencer Shari Franke’s memoir, “The House of My Mother.” They explore her backstory on the now-infamous 8 Passengers YouTube channel, the dark side of family vlogging, and the cult-like control of her mother, Ruby Franke, and life coach Jodi Hildebrandt. Chelsea and Kate unpack the harrowing abuse Shari survived.
