*This episode mentions abusive relationships, thoughts of suicide and health claims. Please use discretion when listening.*

When you're already experiencing red flags, it's easy to miss the others as they fill up your space and for Kristin it was one thing after the other. From an abusive relationship, into an abusive MLM, a lot of warning signs were excused until the weight of it all was just too much and Kristin felt she had no other options. Luckily, a supportive sisterhood inside the scam helped her though and inadvertently helped her out.
