Allison begins her series on "Belonging" with a provocative question: Am I In A Cult? Allison is joined by the hosts of the runaway podcast sensation by the same name. Tyler Measom and Liz Iacuzzi are to discuss the podcast, share their thoughts on cults and get real about this taboo subject.\xa0\nWe probably believe that this would never happen to us. We wont get fooled by slick talk, group-think mentality, controlling tactics and whacky behaviors. But the research says something different. Many people who join "cults" are Type-A, of higher intelligence and high achievers. The truth is cults are everywhere and are often right in front of our eyes. Diet fads, charismatic churches, gyms, self-help groups, therapy philosophies and populist politicians are all prime breeding grounds for cults.\xa0This is an episode you do not want to miss!\nEPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:\n\nWhy are cults so fascinating\n\nDo "socially acceptable cults" exist?\n\nCharacteristics of a cult leader\n\nCultic behaviour\n\nWhat type of person joins a cult?\n\nDifference between an organization/movement/group and a cult\n\nLove bombing & manipulation\n\nA podcast with the blend of trauma and humor\n\nThe shame of making poor decisions\n\nSocial death vs. physical death\n\nMLM\n\nGUESTS LINKS:\n\nWas I In A Cult Podcast\n\nTyler Measom's Website\n\nTyler's Instagram\n\nLiz Iacuzzi's Instagram\n\nALLISON'S LINKS:\n\nVisit Allison\u2019s website\n\n\nFollow Allison on Instagram\n\nCheck out Allison's blog\n\nListen to The Podcasters' Journey Podcast\n\n\nAllison's Favorites - And some great deals for you!\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
