April 06, 2025 Episode 292 : Cassandra
Cassandra was working in a gym when she tried Zyia leggings for the first time. With a built in customer base and a background in sales, she decided to jump into the company and see what she could make of it. Like most of us who join pyramid schemes, she didn't gain the financial freedom she was promised, but that didn't stop her from bouncing from MLM to MLM until she finally opened her eyes.

March 23, 2025 Episode 290 : Tasha
Have you ever heard that some MLMs are willable businesses, that you can pass down to your children so they can inherit your income? Have you ever wondered what that meant and if there was any legitimacy to those claims, or if it was just another MLM lie? Today we have Tasha, an attorney who focuses on estate planning and estate administration, including trust administration and probate, to answer all our questions!

March 09, 2025 Episode 289 : Jen Borruso
*Content Warning: This episode deals with Toxic Diet Culture and mentions disordered eating and orthorexia. Please use caution when listening.*
When I first put out a call to action for this season's main theme of Health and Wellness, SO MANY of you reached out and told me that I needed to chat with Jen Borruso. Not only is Jen now a Personal Trainer & Nutrition Coach, but she used to be a BeachBody Hun, so she knows a thing or two about how MLMs manipulate our minds with toxic diet culture. We chat about Anti-MLM, what red flags to look for when choosing a coach, Master Resale Rights, disordered eating, and the fall of the MLM formerly known as BeachBody/Bodi.
