Dr. Glenn and Jean discuss the growing feeling that more people are joining in scrutinizing the self-help industry. They discuss some of the contributing factors to this, including recent culty docuseries and a more nuanced cultural understanding of how people get involved with questionable leaders and groups.

Jean also discusses how, 13 WHOLE YEARS after the Sedona (not-a-)sweat lodge deaths, more people than ever are reaching out not just to express condolences over the loss of her sister, but to share in the knowledge that there’s something fundamentally broken in this industry.
