This week on the podcast we’re talking about the cult of Teal Swan. Teal, the author and “spiritual leader” uses some seriously irresponsible practices to encourage her followers to live (or not live) their best lives. Massive Trigger Warning due to suicide and child abuse. Teal has built her empire with good old SEO marketing, specifically targeting vulnerable people to buy her self-help courses. Her questionable and definitely not licensed tactics include encouraging clients to go after their goals, even if that's ending their own lives. Oh, and she made something like $8 million dollars doing it.

Maybe a little less motivation might be the move here!  Usually, we do more lighthearted topics we swear!

If you or a loved one needs someone to talk to we highly recommend Crisis Text Line. We love you and please don't give some medieval witch your money.
