Whenever someone asks me about Kangen Water, I send them straight to Alanda and her work exposing Enagic and Darren and Mike. We also did some work together, exposing the culty scam Zafire back in 2021 with Chelsea Flores. But today Alanda has found some bigger fish to fry, in the form of a dangerously culty MLM called OnPassive that's getting some attention finally. I didn't know much about them, so I called Alanda and asked her to help us out! You'll even get to hear one of OnPassive's worship songs to their MLM Leader, Ash. It's a wild ride, so buckle up!Show NotesYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/TheRecoveringHunbotInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/the_recovering_hunbot/Filter Showerhead - https://amzn.to/3ITpGrZDarren & Mike Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQS-jTYfn9yamf6cGD1W4ldgfEq7G8DmyOnPassive Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQS-jTYfn9yaVIvO78xLaMbRS2sZz1FRBOnPassive Song Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgnNhJYUcu4MLM Conference - https://www.mlmconference.com/Dr. Steven Hassan's BITE Model - https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model/Ponzinomics by Robert L.

So much of what she experienced in MLM is unfortunately utterly commonplace and we needed to talk about it. From pushing personal boundaries and feeling pressure to lie to the subtle ways that MLMs mess with us on the daily and #MLMeastereggs, Angie and my chat runs the gamut. I personally had very little knowledge of Pampered Chef, but what I learned about their inner workings and practices, was shocking. And with an upline like Angie's, who needs "friends"?Show NotesBefore and After meeting Leah and Mike! - https://www.tiktok.com/@bertalikewhoa/video/7058053920882658606Follow Shady Pines Designs!Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/shadypinesdesignsbyangie/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ShadyPinesDesigns/Etsy - https://www.etsy.com/shop/ShadyPinesDesignsbyADr. Steven Hassan's BITE Model - https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model/Ponzinomics by Robert L.

We've got Doug Brooks on the show today, and were breaking down some hard truths and MLM facts.

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.

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.

We're smack dab in the middle of making this podcast even better for 2022, so don't mind our dust or whatever people say when they are open during construction. 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. It's everything you've come to expect from Tracey Reid and more.Show NotesCrack the Crown - https://www.facebook.com/crackthecrownPapa Survivors Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1364031780665956NOT Lead and Nickel Free - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lW25Jga-6cLead Safe Mama & Paparazzi - https://tamararubin.com/category/paparazzi/Shakers - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ShakersDr. Steven Hassan's BITE Model - https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model/Ponzinomics by Robert L.

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!
