Manage episode 379560758 series 3519932
Have you ever been manipulated by or trapped in a MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) business? 😬
You’re in good company! 🙌🏼
Join me as I discuss these predatory systems with Amber Ny, an anti-MLM and anti-diet culture advocate. In this conversation, Amber shares her experience of spending five years in Beachbody, a MLM.
She now helps others become aware of the mind games, financial/emotional harm and how to escape. 👋🏼
Together, we explore the impact of MLMs on women especially and how diet culture is levered to create obedience within the community.
