Today\\u2019s episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.\\xa0

Brandie Hadfield woke up from a good-then-ultimately-nightmarish tour through the MLM world, and today she\\u2019s telling us her story without naming the organization because, well, you know culty types: They are soooooo lawsuit-happy. She got out, and today she\\u2019s a self-described recovering wellness influencer on her way to becoming a Registered Psychotherapist. She\\u2019s also working on her cult memoir, titled The MLM Recovery Handbook. She\\u2019s on a mission to warn people, new moms especially, about the dark side of the wellness space. We\\u2019ll also chat with her about her take on influencers, recruitment, and wellness coaches - and what happens when those things come wrapped in a glossy celebrity seal of approval. And hey, we love a wellness supplement, and even have some show sponsors from that space that we trust and can really stand by. But we also have no problem with calling bullshit on the culty side of the wellness world, and the MLM we\\u2019re going to discuss in this episode has been on our radar for a while. Let\\u2019s do this.\\xa0
