This week’s Patreon Preview features excerpts from bonus episodes DD #31 & #32 where former 'Org' trainer, Jill Pagano, shares about her time in the practice. The complete two-hour convo is available to monthly patrons of the pod. 

In it, Jill shares:

• What it's been like listening to the podcast & why she chose to step forward at this time. 
• How she became involved in 'the Org' practice + the grief, loss, and physical pain she experienced when she chose to step away.
• Her feelings about investing 13 of her prime earning years in the Org; she shares about the long-term impact on her and her family.

The three of us discuss:

• The financial realities of hosting trainings for the Org.
• How compliance and 'fawning for favor' in the training environment kept many out of the direct line of fire, but did emotional damage nonetheless. 
• The idea of "badmouthing" the practice and how infantilizing it is to be told what we can and cannot say; good-girl conditioning be damned!
• What a 'call to action' might actually look like when it comes to addressing culty dysfunction in the wellness industry at large. 
• And why the three of us agree that 'saviorship' isn't likely to come from within,
