Throughout the month of November, follow along with us on social media as we share MLM statistics, cult education, survivor stories and ways you can join in on the movement.

Freedom of thought is a universal human right.After devouring Cultish on the flight to and from New York, I couldn't wait to talk to the author, Amanda Montell, self proclaimed word nerd and language scholar. I mean, her book had an entire chapter titled "Do You Wanna Be a #BossBabe?". Amanda helps me kick off MLM Cult Month by sharing personal cult connections, breaking down culty screenshots and teaching you about the red flags you can not only see, but can also hear. Plus, she educates us on all the language and terms we will be learning about all month.Show NotesCultish by Amanda Montell - https://amzn.to/3wkPVCrThought Terminating Cliches - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought-terminating_clich%C3%A9Synanon - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SynanonSounds Like A Cult Pod - https://www.soundslikeacult.com/My episode on Sounds Like a Cult - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-cult-of-lularoe/id1566917047?i=1000539054927Dr. Steven Hassan's BITE Model - https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model/Ponzinomics by Robert L.
