Description
Think you might be in a cult? Want to know the signs? Join Sarah Edmondson and Anthony “Nippy” Ames to talk about things that are..a little bit culty. Or in their case: a whole bunch of culty. As whistleblowers documented in the critically-acclaimed HBO series “The Vow,” Sarah and Nippy have a lot to say about their experience, and burning questions to ask people with similar stories. They’re here to help people understand, heal from, and avoid abusive situations one little red flag at a time. Listen in as they share their stories, have frank and unscripted conversations with other survivors and cult experts, and do a deep dive on how devotion can turn to dysfunction.

listened to every episode, this is by far my favorite yet
Have the 2 of you looked into THE STERLING INSTITUTE OF RELATIONSHIP.
What kinda bullshit is this
A medium? Really?! There are only two types of people that claim to be mediums, and to put it politely, I don't think highly of either. You guys are still embarrassingly credulous. I guess you can take the person out of the cult but you can't always take the woo out of the person.
Karen seemed cool but for my 1st time on the podcast, I hear some clear complicity with Karen (a Keith victim) taking part in the coercive control and wish they could have called her to task on it. We need more attention to be given to or do a little bit more work in regards to that thin line between victim and perpetrator in this and other cults.

This seemed like it would be interesting, but instead it was a boring conversation that was side stepping what could have been a meaningful conversation.
Nipple saying "smash that subscribe button, you know you want to" is gaslighting. He is trying to manipulate listeners what they should want.
None of this is wrong or inherently bad, but it feels like mansplaning. It's so many words for human feelings that I do not feel totally need words or categories. I hope it helps someone in need, but it I just do understand why this much language is needed for human behavior.
Sarah. Fuckin still selling shit that doesn't work.
Like selling Kachava crap by Nipple and whatshername themselves!!!
Wow.
I know who Ferron is! I grew up listening to her in the early 80's. And no, I am not Canadian. :)
This guest is quite insulting unecessarily. I do especially like her information about the amygdala and prefrontal cortex. However she is clearly jaded and projects. I don't care if she does not believe in God but as a therapist, her generalizing that everyone who does believe is beliving in imaginary stuff, is careless. I'm luckily able to separate her good information from her projection. My opinion.
Is it just me or does Dr Shefali come off kind of culty?
Such holier than thou attitudes when both of you participated in the abuse. Nipple sitting quietly by as KR talks about raping babies and humiliating women in YOUR SOP course, and Sarah lying by omission to her husband about her brand for months.
How long was Nipple a Society of Protectors leader? In The Vow, KR discussed raping babies during SOP training, as well as fucking steaks etc. Did this not raise red flags for you, Nippy? It took your wife getting a brand and hiding it from you for months to wake the fuck up. Raping babies didn't?
I wonder how many people were recruited by Sarah during the MONTHS she hid her branding scar from Nipple. Sarah, did you tell recruits during that time that their vaginas were going to be cauterized like yours? Why did you keep it a secret from your husband for so long? Seems like you would have kept the secret if Mark Vincente didn't convince you that it was fucked up.
Did nobody Google Keith Reneire before joining NXIVM? He was all over the news with his sleazy MLM scheme Consumers Buyline. That should have raised some red flags, but everyone ignored it, including Nipples and Sarah.
Quick question. Sarah recruited 2000+ ppl to NXIVM by selling the retreats and courses, and now she is pedalling Acai supplements that don't work. Isn't this the same shit, different day? Selling garbage to ppl promising to better their lives.
