Have you ever seen those ads on social media for MLM coaching? Those courses that promise all the secrets to MLM success for the low, low price of $500? I hate those, and so does Michelle Carpenter, a former Beach Body Boss Babe who fell for it. hook, line, and sinker. 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. I also had never really dove into the world of Beach Body; the extreme diet culture, the toxic cult and the obvious pyramid scheme red flags - and BOY! was I SHOCKED to say the least.
