Welcome back to Happily Distracted, your favorite ADHD podcast.

If you’ve ever seen an influencer with a Birkin bag telling you to DM them the word “wealth”, you’ve seen a grifter at work. And today, we’ll prepare you for all of their BS and more.

On this episode of the Happily Distracted podcast, sisters Leyla Phillip and Monya jump from Leyla’s fascination with cartel leader “Elcho/El Mencho” and recent violence near Puerto Vallarta to a larger discussion of the “Tony Soprano Effect” and why power draws people in.

 

They then shift into Reality TV, critiquing a new Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member Amanda, a self-proclaimed “money coach,” as an example of an ultimate online grifter—someone who’s selling expensive retreats and courses without credentials, using influencer buzzwords, limited spots, and MLM-style tactics.

 

They offer red-flag phrases that every grifter loves to use while urging listeners to do the real work, ask questions, and not chase too-good-to-be-true promises. Get that Grifter gone!
