This week Kat is back discussing her internal dialogue involving cults and the power of brainwashing. After watching a recent Netflix documentary about a so called "dance management TikTok cult" Kat wanted to create a conversation around how and why we label people involved in these spaces as delusional, brainwashed, and incapable of making rational decisions. The questions left for you to answer is, are those assumptions fair or true?
