Life After MLM

Welcome to Day 1 of Holiday Magic! And what better person to help welcome in the month long of fun, than The Dream's Jane Marie! I know the impact that The Dream and Jane's work had on my journey out of MLM, so I can only imagine what the movement has experienced! Jane and I have a fun chat about the early days of AntiMLM, her time at This American Life, The DSA & The BIG Baddies of MLM, and what we really think about Robert FitzPatrick.Show NotesConnect with Jane Marie!

Sending out Cultvember in STYLE! Have you seen the two new docuseries on Twin Flames Universe? They are a must watch for anyone who is a fan of cults getting exposed. The shows follow some of the victims of TFU as they tell their stories from their time inside the community and the dangerous advice being given inside the organization. Being familiar with this sort of thing, I decided to join the Facebook group to see what it was all about and what the members were saying about the group, the belief system and the media exposure. What I found was not shocking, but it was terrifying all the same.Show NotesDesperately Seeking SoulmateEscaping Twin FlamesIGotOut.orgOut of MLMThe BITE ModelLAMLM Book ClubMLM DupesHow can you help?MLM ChangeReport FraudTruth in AdvertisingReport to your state Attorney General's office!Not in the U.S.?

*Content Warning : In this episode we discuss excommunication, death and suicide. Please use discretion when listening.*Liz Gale was born a 3rd Generation Scientologist. In fact, her family was into Scientology, before it was ever called Scientology. From the moment Liz's grandmother picked up that copy of Dianetics, it set her family on a tragic trajectory until Liz herself decided to break the generational trauma that L. Ron Hubbard created. In our chat we discuss what excommunication looks like inside the church and the worst possible outcomes for those who feel like they have nowhere else to run.Show NotesConnect with Liz : TikTok | YouTube | Blog | InstagramConfessions of an Ex-Scientologist PotheadPhilip GaleSouth Park - S9 E12 Trapped in the ClosetAftermath FoundationWhat is SPTV?IGotOut.orgOut of MLMThe BITE ModelLAMLM Book ClubMLM DupesHow can you help?MLM ChangeReport FraudTruth in AdvertisingReport to your state Attorney General's office!Not in the U.S.?

*This episode discusses many heavy topics, including child abuse; including descriptions of abuse, starvation, sexual assault and suicidal ideas and actions. PLEASE use discretion when listening.*When I first started looking into Scientology stories that needed to be told, Michelle asked me if I knew about Liz Ferris and the story of her dad Bob Ferris. You see, Scientology is really good at a couple things; disconnection, abuse and lies - but I was WHOLLY unprepared for the story that Liz had to tell. Listening to Liz recount her life, from as early as she can remember as a Second Gen Scientologist, to the strange and devastating phone call that changed the trajectory of her life, one thing is for sure, Liz Ferris is a warrior.Connect with Liz : YouTube | GoFundMeMeet Liz FerrisWhere's Bob Ferris?The General's Daughter (film)Save Bob Ferris TeeAftermath FoundationWhat is SPTV?IGotOut.orgIGotOut.orgOut of MLMThe BITE ModelLAMLM Book ClubMLM DupesHow can you help?MLM ChangeReport FraudTruth in AdvertisingReport to your state Attorney General's office!Not in the U.S.?

Our first Scientology episode of the Cultvember season! Meet Alex, who was previously the Director of Public Book Sales at the Church of Scientology London, until he was kicked out and labeled a ‘Trouble Source". Which works perfectly because I have a lot of questions and Alex is here to let us know what's up with the whole MLMy side hustle of book sales in CoS. Along the way we break down Alex's own story, and some of the more complicated policies of L. Ron Hubbard.Show NotesConnect with Alex! - YouTube | Instagram | Twitter | WebsiteCause Over LifeAftermath FoundationWhat is SPTV?IGotOut.orgOut of MLMThe BITE ModelLAMLM Book ClubMLM DupesHow can you help?MLM ChangeReport FraudTruth in AdvertisingReport to your state Attorney General's office!Not in the U.S.?

*Content Warning : This episode discusses topics such as death, cult indoctrination and child abuse. Please use discretion when listening.*As we move out of Evangelicalism and into Scientology, Marilyn Honig is the perfect guest to bridge the gap. Raised in trauma, Marilyn started her life as a Lost Child, falling between the cracks in the systems put in place to help her. She ended up being adopted by a large Pentecostal family, entrenched in the bells and whistles of the tent revival movement, complete with speaking in tongues and laying hands to cast out demons. By the time she was 20 she was deep in another religious group that controlled her every move, and it wasn't until she became a mother herself that she found the fire inside to break free.Show NotesConnect with Marilyn : Facebook | YouTubeA Thief in the Night FilmA Thief in the Night WikiAftermath FoundationWhat is SPTV?IGotOut.orgOut of MLMThe BITE ModelLAMLM Book ClubMLM DupesHow can you help?MLM ChangeReport FraudTruth in AdvertisingReport to your state Attorney General's office!Not in the U.S.?

*Content Warning : In this episode we discuss child abuse openly, sharing our personal experiences and stories. Please use discretion when listening.*In continuing our evangelical education for Cult Month, I couldn't leave out a discussion about Bill Gothard, IBLP and the normalization of child abuse at his hands. And there was no other person who came to mind to discuss this topic besides Lindsey Williams, one of the stars from the documentary Shiny Happy People. As one of "Gothard's Girls" Lindsey has a unique perspective into life at Headquarters, what's expected of you and what actually happens behind closed doors.Show NotesConnect with Lindsey : Instagram | TikTok | MUA | LinksIn Honor of Eddie PeterShiny Happy PeopleBill GothardCoalition for Responsible Home EducationRecovering from ReligionIGotOut.orgOut of MLMThe BITE ModelLAMLM Book ClubMLM DupesHow can you help?MLM ChangeReport FraudTruth in AdvertisingReport to your state Attorney General's office!Not in the U.S.?

We're LIVE from Dallas, Texas! Come hang out with us and meet Kathy, a woman who answered an Instagram post and ended up sitting next to me on stage, recording this podcast in front of a live audience! Talk about being put on the spot! But Kathy is an incredible sport as she tells us about growing up Baptist, joining the ICoC in grad school, and trying her hand at Beauty Counter, all before facing some had truths and admitting what she had known deep down all along. It's a coming out story that only gets better in a room full of friends.

*In this episode we discuss evangelical deconstruction, church abuse, white supremacy and misogyny. Please use discretion when listening.*Did you happen to catch either of the Hillsong docs? Because I have questions, and I couldn't think of a better person to ask than Janice Lagata. As one of the founding members of Hillsong NYC, Janice remembers a time before Carl Lentz. Before NBA players, and Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez and 6 sermons a Sunday. Before the crowds of fans flocked to church to tithe to a group of nepo babies and their cronies, as they used the collection plate to fund their extravagant lives. Janice shares her thoughts on church planting, deconstruction, white supremacy and misogyny in modern day Christianity.Show NotesConnect with Janice : Instagram | TikTok | Podcast | WebsiteXenos is a CultLet's Talk About Sects PodHillsong : A Megachurch ExposedThe Secrets of HillsongHillsong's a CultIGotOut.orgOut of MLMThe BITE ModelLAMLM Book ClubMLM DupesHow can you help?MLM ChangeReport FraudTruth in AdvertisingReport to your state Attorney General's office!Not in the U.S.?

After a heavy month of True Crime, we are starting off Cult Month with the lovely April Ajoy to discuss Purity Culture, Christian Nationalism and detoxing from Evangelicalism. From her days of wearing a purity ring and answering phone calls at Pat Robertson's 700 Club, to her personal experiences deconstructing her beliefs and having the hard conversations, April never loses her sense of humor.Show NotesConnect with April : Instagram | TikTok | Twitter | ThreadsEvangelicalishThe Non Binary Marriage PodcastAssemblies of GodEvangelicals & CultsThe Rise of Christian NationalismOut of MLMThe BITE ModelLAMLM Book ClubMLM DupesHow can you help?MLM ChangeReport FraudTruth in AdvertisingReport to your state Attorney General's office!Not in the U.S.?
