Happy Mother\u2019s Day Monday, ALBC babies. To celebrate the occasion, we unlocked a Patreon episode starring none other than Sarah\u2019s mom. We talk a lot about culty villains on this podcast, but we always want to highlight the heroes, too\u2026and Ellen is an embodiment of what it looks like to heroically love someone through\u2014and out of\u2014a cult journey. She joins us in this very special installment of the show to talk about what it was like to witness Sarah\u2019s initial NXIVM days, and what happened when the going got whistleblowing levels of rough. She\u2019s also a seeker and a licensed therapist who isn\u2019t afraid to let her professional opinions fly: Like what she always thought was slimy about Keith Raniere\u2019s shtick, and why she still has nothing but empathy for Nancy Salzman. There will be tears and laughs in this one. Enjoy: And don\u2019t forget to call your Mama.
