Huge news!!! I now have an editor for Horror Story videos! 🤩 I’m so grateful, this takes a massive workload off my plate, and this is the first video she has edited for me. I think she did an incredible job, THANKS ALEECE! 🎉
Thanks for sharing Zeke's disdain for MLMs with us. You're a great translator! Unfortunately I don't speak cat, but his passion for the topic does come across in the background.
That $300 non refundable down payment to attend Beachbody conferences is a real sinister move on the company’s part - how many people do you think get trapped in the sink cost fallacy trying to qualify to attend after paying that?
Buying a ton of product from yourself to gain points (or whatever) in order to qualify must be a lot of money on its own. And if uou fail to qualify in time? Sucks for you! You've now lost the down payment money, spent a ton of time and coin to rank up/gain points, and you've lost out on the trip.
The reality is that this $300 is covering the cost of the people attending the trip so the company probably pay very little overall.. This is a clever scam
I just want to say I want to say as a former Arbonne rep, getting to area manager is definitely not easy. I'm impressed while simultaneously feeling bad for her. Her upline definitely loved her in the beginning.
I was an assistant branch manager for a national bank and pitching your MLM to a client is a guarantee to get fired immediately. It is a huge violation of trust. I can’t imagine any bank would not have the same strict policy on something like that. Ironically, MLM people will pitch you all the time at work and I’m just thinking, “You asked me to pull up your account. I can see how broke you are. Clearly this ‘opportunity’ you’re offering me isn’t working out for you.” But of course you can’t say that to them as much as you want to.
Pitching MLM to someone who could obtain the detail of your bank account is beyond careless😂🤣😂🤣😂. I guess the MLM hun was so used to do the pitching anytime anywhere and didn't bother to check the situation anymore.
Omg my older cat never cared about zeke’s little noises in the background but we recently got a 6 month old kitten and it’s driving him crazy lol he’s jumping all over the place trying to figure it out.
I sent in that story. Yes I’m fairly certain cps has been called on them before but lead to nothing. I am infuriated by the neglect but I am trying to collect more evidence without tipping her off. I am doubtful there is much more that could be done for her son. It is an issue that needed to be caught early to be possibly fixed. I am so torn on it because yes, they are family, but I still think this child could possibly receive better care.
@@smolexfundie6458Ugh, I'm so sorry. CPS all too often is either powerless or unwilling to help (depends on who you get on any given day). Hopefully that child has some adult advocates who can help; child welfare always trumps social or familial obligations. Maybe there are local victim advocacy or child welfare groups, something community-based and grassroots rather than CPS alone. They can assist in figuring out next steps and connecting you to agencies that can/will help. All the best of luck to you and that kid.
I cannot imagine my boss or colleagues suggesting I just give my spouse “favors” to calm him down if he was concerned that my job was taking too much of my time or money. I’d be straight to HR.😏
It's also kind of rude to insinuate men are so stupid they can be easily manipulated by "favors". Can't believe that person even said that to their downline, so inappropriate for so many reasons
I know! I literally cackled at that (because it was so unexpected!) and my 4-year-old daughter who’s playing on the floor, turned around and asked, “what’s funny, Mama?!” 😳🤣
Do MLMs have HR? That feels like the kind of comment that a normal company could literally get sued for, but I guess MLMs get away with it because they're contractors?
@@Tink00 MLMs get away with so much I normally would think HR would be all over. So yeah, I guess since they are contractors they can get away with it.
@@Tink00they almost certainly have company policies against speaking to anyone that way while representing the company, both for employees and for contractors. They just don't enforce them proactively because it serves them better to ignore it.
As a husband, I just want to say that no number of "favors" would get me to turn a blind eye to dangerous financial decisions my wife might be making. I would be grateful, but it wouldn't "shut me up."
Omg okay, Hannah, I'm freaking that you liked my comment 🤣😂. I absolutely love your content. It's such a breath of fresh air you are doing the lords work, girl!
The cult contributor needs to report the banker - depending on the country, that's a crime. And if it's not, the bank will definitely not be happy. On a happier note, huge congratulations to the contributor for being for brave!!
Random Zeke thought - I notice at home when I talk to myself or I sing ect my cats are all over me. They don't do this when I talk to another person in the room. I wonder if Zeke thinks you're talking to him because no one else is there. What would happen if another person watched you film?
All the trips and gifts you earn is considered taxable income as well. I was in Mary Kay and earned a cruise and a ton of gifts from the company and it was considered income farrr more than I actually earned
Wasn't that such an ugly little surprise. I found out that all my purchases were considered income through Arbonne. Personal products that I was encouraged to buy, so that I could live a "clean life" was considered both a sale and income...vile and disgusting. And of course not a single person in the upline told me this and I don't even know if they were aware and when I confronted them it was "wow we don't do that here", because conveniently, my ?my upline was located in Canada and Australia. I'm pretty sure they were lying though.
37:00 for this scenario, it might be a good idea to also report them to somewhere that can check in on the child's safety and care, since the parent hasn't even taken the kid to get their health condition diagnosed. I think in Canada we call it child's and family services but I can't recall what it is the US right now.
My cat Merlin sounds exactly like Zeke but only when he goes potty. So anytime I watch your videos and you don’t say out loud that it’s Zeke I go to the litter box to scoop lol
The vilification of doctors is one of the most angering things to me. Yes, the healthcare system and medical training system are both broken, but actively choosing to give people essential oils that are proven to *cause more harm* for many illnesses/disorders and claim the kinds of things they do is just sick.
You mentioned that you went to Cancun last year. My husband and I were there for our honeymoon. What wonderful memories. 😊 We’ll be celebrating 30 years in October,
Hannah I just want to say that you seem like a genuinely warm and kind person. That’s what makes these videos so relaxing and uplifting, despite the subject of the content being upsetting and disturbing. Keep up the great work, I’ve sent your videos to people who have started into MOMs before!
Yep. And shes gaining popularity fast because of it. The sour mean anti mlm creators may be funny sometimes (CC) but it's not someone or something you actually want to support.
MLM "work trips" you have to EARN are so wild.. I'm going on a work trip to another county in Europe and everything is paid for either by the host organization or my own employer. The flights, hotel, food at the conference, everything is paid for. And I'll get paid my salary, like I should. In what reality do these people live that they feel like having to earn and pay for your work conference is normal 😬 Seeing Zeke in your videos always makes my day! It's his world, the rest of us are just living in it. And for the part of summer just having started... I live in Finland, summer very much is over at this point 😂
This is an old video and a random thought but i just wanted to say that i love the fact that your sponsorships are things you *actually* like, use, etc. So we know we can trust it.
I work in a sales role. The managers make time for anyone in the team who needs it, schedule meetings with all the team regularly and they carve out extra time for those who are new or struggling. The idea that you need to "earn" coaching/ time with upline/ manager type roles is very, very weird to me.
Your managers act as they should. An ex manager of mine once told me that part of her job was social, meaning emotionally supporting employees, being the mediator between two quarelling employees, supporting employees by showing them how to do things better, etc. It's so true. But treat members of your team like human beings and they will be ready to work their asses off because they feel seen and respected. I wish more companies understand that.
I appreciate ex MLMers share their experiences and expose the predatory practices. However, I don’t have sympathy for most of them who only stopped MLMing because their income started to decline. These same people prey on vulnerable and look at people as a dollar sign all of a sudden one day wake up and think it’s wrong to literally scam people? No, they knew it was wrong. They knew their only way to make money was to use people. So now their income declines, lose friends and family, lose their reputation and hated by sane people. Well, f around. Find out.
I think she usually does (and/or people who submit the stories include them), but she reads these stories for the first time in these videos so sometimes it gets missed unfortunately. :/ but commenting for engagement as I agree they are nice (especially since sometimes people talk about their specific disordered habits and that can be a real struggle)
School starts back for our kiddos in another week! Summer has flown by!!! But we're going to try to squeeze in a trip to Orange Beach! I've nagged my poor hubby all Summer to go to the beach & we just bought a business back in March...NO MLMs...lol ...& he's been swamped, which is a good thing, but hes finally going to take some time with us & go on vaca!!! 🙏🏝
Listening to story 2 got me wondering something. Just about every MLM seems to have a lower tier, say levels 1 to 5, and the upper tiers, 5-10. Many people seem to be blocked from getting above the level 5, no matter what they do. I wonder if internally, the company only has so many spots per upper level, and unless someone leaves, there's no way to get an upper slot. I'm sure the company won't allow or pay hundreds of people at say, level 8 or 9. That's an internal document I'd like to see, how many slots per tier.
It’s sad to me that BeachBody is like this because the programs are actually mostly great and such a good option for those of us who don’t want to go to the gym to workout/just don’t have time. But the MLM aspect is making me quit it when my membership is up
I feel this way too. I actually really like the workouts, so am conflicted because I don't want to support an MLM. I don't buy Shakeo anymore or any other products, but like the option of working out from home...and that's cheaper than belonging to a gym. Years ago I remember buying BB products through -- was it Guthy Renker?? -- ads on TV. I think I still have my Yoga Booty Ballet DVD 🤣
There’s a ton of free workouts on RUclips that you can find that are better. Beachbody has been known to also cause many injuries to people because of some of the weird moves they do. A lot of personal trainers actually don’t recommend beachbody. As a former trainer myself I’m horrified I did some of them. 😵💫 Autumns form just makes me cringe.
That's the hard part! I actually used to be an Insanity live instructor, and so many people love Insanity, they are like wait it's part of an MLM??? Shaun T seems like such a great human. If he left BB he could start his own platform and be so successful.
There are soooo many other services similar to beach body that aren’t an MLM. Peleton has new workouts all the time, something for everyone for 20$ CDN a month. Guided walks/runs, Pilates, yoga, strength, body weight, bootcamps and more.
As someone said, there are free youtube workouts (Heather Robertson comes to mind, i think that's the name) plus multiple apps that do the same thing. Peleton and Fiton come to mind. Fiton is free unless you buy Pro, which is $25 to $30 for the year, and Peleton is $12.99 for the month.
I’d report the woman not seeking healthcare for her kid to CPS. The child doesn’t have a choice about how nutty their mom is, and lack of care could limit their lifespan.
The one comment about plexus curing Tourettes. Seriously!? Every time I think I’ve heard everything from these huns there’s another ridiculous health claim. Even the most basic understanding of biology & these health conditions would say that’s not possible 🙃
That bank worker pitching MLM to customers: shame on him. That is highly unethical and unprofessional. And then what do you know, as I'm watching that, I am looking at my own bank's cash-back rewards offers and what do I see? Beauty Counter!
It’s scary that an actual teacher wouldn’t have been aware that this is a bad business model. The ppl preparing our kids for the real world apparently.
@@rachelhansen2417 wow so it has to be “part of the curriculum” lol no! You’re supposed to be smart! The whole point of school is to teach kids about the world they live in!
@@danisouris3429 and how is someone supposed to be smart about MLMs if they have no idea of how exploitative they are-especially when uplines hide the true structure? High school should indeed teach kids about the world we live in-and that world includes MLMs. It’s a failure of the system for not teaching her beforehand.
Hannah, I would love to see a deep dive of Shaklee. Some of my family members have recently joined... it's a hot mess. So many false health/ mental health claims. Thank you for all you do!!
The best way to know if an MLM claim is insane is to imagine West Dickens from Red Dead Redemption making them to you about his 'elixir.' If it sounds fitting, it's insane.
Omg I've bee dieing for a new one of these videos thank u so much ❤my only story is my dad was in herbalife! Idk if ever lost any money I don't think he did but I remember going to the big party's they had he was friends with the ceo!
Are we going to talk about the child that needs real medical care? I am not in the habit of questioning people's parenting decisions but this just seems extremely neglectful.
My holiday plans are clearing out my in-laws house before it's sold. At least they lived in a holiday town. Then in September my husband is taking me away to watchh cricket.
OK Hannah that segue into the sponsorship was SMOOTH lol and your explanation of the product actually made me want to check it out (which is super rare for me) love seeing you get sponsors!
I usually don't mind watching sponsorship part of RUclips videos because I know I watch the videos for free and it's the least I can do to support the creator. If anything, it just adds my knowledge about various products available in the market. If the sponsorship is too much, or the video is too long for unnecessary content, I just skip the video and abandon the channel.
Your sense of smell is the most powerful memory primer, because that sense is directly weird to the brain. Very, very thin hair like fibers travel throughout openings in the base of the skull called the, "Cribriform Plate". That means smells are essentially hardwired to the brain. So when you smell a certain smell, that memory is more vivid thanks to that connection. My favorite is the smell of chlorine from a pool. Lots of great memories as a kid spending hours in the water.
Thank you for not putting music behind your videos. Ive been watching for two years now and i just realized why i love watching or listening to your videos so much 😅
You’re totally right about having to pay 20% back as an independent contractor but when you’re actually calculating your deductions properly it at least brings down your amount of taxable income which means paying less in taxes for us 😂 just to clarify for anyone wondering, a lot of us don’t actually pay that 20-30% of our earnings in taxes bc deductions help us out quite a bit.
I remember I signed up for Beachbody and I just thought it was a workout app lol got on it and realized all of these people were talking about selling these drinks and stuff and I was like oh hell no BYE got out of that real quick lol
I worked for a non-MLM company that treated their executives like celebrities - literally throwing small *parades* when they came to visit a location. I was so weirded out by these "exec-visit-hype-parties" because I didn't see how being good at making phone calls and organizing teams made someone so special (idk, maybe I just don't understand what execs do all day) But at least those executives have an actual job!
I'm left wondering something about Sam's story... Would it be possible that her not being the "ideal candidat" to join the MLM could also be the fact that she said she was getting ready to leave a cult already? Therefor in the mind of an MLM recruiter, could be a red flag that she would end up seeing through the scam with more ease given her past experience with an actual cult?
Story 3 is borderline neglect imo. She is literally avoiding treating her child’s disabilities properly in every way possible. It’s so disturbing and I feel so bad for that child. Sniffing oils and a chiropractor? Seriously??
My aunts, queens in their mlm, never paid a dime for their travels. They went everywhere, one of them even earning two spots for several trips. Perhaps it's a thing in my country? 🤔 I'm not saying mlm isn't bad or anything, but my aunts for sure thrived so hard there... If I didn't know better, that survival bias could have kicked hard.
The plexus mum should be arrested for child abuse / negligence by not providing medical care needed but exposing the child to possible harmful supplements & essential oils while exploiting the poor child to promote her business

Thanks Zeke for letting mom translate your anti-mlm views to us! We love your visits to make sure we know it is coming from you. 😻😹🐾🐈
I think I speak for everyone when I say you never have to apologize for Zeke. ❤
I truly listen for Zeke every episode, and that doesn't take away from the gravity of the stories for me at all.
Absolutely! Zeke is always welcome, especially when Hannah is reading a very harrowing or disturbing story.
I love the cat cameos!!
Yes. Zeke always seems to jump in at the right time for a kitty comfort fix during horror stories. 😻
Never. We’d be so worried if he didn’t feature.
Currently deep cleaning the house and saw this video went up and thought “OH THANK GOD”
"She literally said I should give him more b.... OH!.... ooohhhh..." that cracked me up 😆 @8:20
Realistically she could have said “blow jobs” as she was just reading what someone had written out.
I just want to say I want to say as a former Arbonne rep, getting to area manager is definitely not easy. I'm impressed while simultaneously feeling bad for her. Her upline definitely loved her in the beginning.
In the best way possible I can’t tell this wasn’t edited by you! Such a seamless transition!!!
That makes me so happy to hear! She did a great job 🩷
She is a great editor! So glad you found someone to ease your workload.
I love when you address your cat in the "elementary school teacher" voice 😂 One educator to another I talk to my dogs the same way
Same😂
I no longer have pets because I would have trouble caring for them. I do miss their company.
I apparently use my ‘teacher’ voice on animals a lot.
I was an assistant branch manager for a national bank and pitching your MLM to a client is a guarantee to get fired immediately. It is a huge violation of trust. I can’t imagine any bank would not have the same strict policy on something like that.

I would be blown away if my employer tells me do favor to your hubby to shut him up!!! Holy cow!!!

Story 3 broke my heart. Your horror stories never fail to make me shake my head.
perfect timing, my apartment flooded this morning and we're all okay now but this is exactly the content i need after a hectic morning
Oh no! I’ve dealt with my basement flooding, it’s not a good thing at all. Hope you can have an easy recovery.
Oh so sorry. I have dealt with that.
anti MLM content from the baby momma queens Hannah and Chelsea back to back? What a treat ❤

Story #2: The prize of "you can sit with us" sound like they are gracing you with their presence by letting you sit with them at the cool kids table.
It's not a Hannah video w/o Zeke appearing❤
sad yet TRUE the give the hubby more....IS a COMMON remark given !! have heard it myself..
If Huns could suddenly no longer use the terms “gut health” and “brain fog” I’m certain the MLM industry may collapse overnight! 🤣
Anti-MLM monday is the best way to stsrt the week.

I think she usually does (and/or people who submit the stories include them), but she reads these stories for the first time in these videos so sometimes it gets missed unfortunately. :/ but commenting for engagement as I agree they are nice (especially since sometimes people talk about their specific disordered habits and that can be a real struggle)
@@isabellamorris7902 I love her content, but I can't continue to watch her videos without the trigger warning :/
School starts back for our kiddos in another week! Summer has flown by!!! But we're going to try to squeeze in a trip to Orange Beach! I've nagged my poor hubby all Summer to go to the beach & we just bought a business back in March...NO MLMs...lol ...& he's been swamped, which is a good thing, but hes finally going to take some time with us & go on vaca!!! 🙏🏝
Listening to story 2 got me wondering something. Just about every MLM seems to have a lower tier, say levels 1 to 5, and the upper tiers, 5-10. Many people seem to be blocked from getting above the level 5, no matter what they do. I wonder if internally, the company only has so many spots per upper level, and unless someone leaves, there's no way to get an upper slot. I'm sure the company won't allow or pay hundreds of people at say, level 8 or 9. That's an internal document I'd like to see, how many slots per tier.
HI ZEKE! Your employee, Hannah, does a great job by the way! Thank you for keeping her busy with making videos! 😸
It’s sad to me that BeachBody is like this because the programs are actually mostly great and such a good option for those of us who don’t want to go to the gym to workout/just don’t have time. But the MLM aspect is making me quit it when my membership is up
I feel this way too. I actually really like the workouts, so am conflicted because I don't want to support an MLM. I don't buy Shakeo anymore or any other products, but like the option of working out from home...and that's cheaper than belonging to a gym. Years ago I remember buying BB products through -- was it Guthy Renker?? -- ads on TV. I think I still have my Yoga Booty Ballet DVD 🤣
There’s a ton of free workouts on RUclips that you can find that are better. Beachbody has been known to also cause many injuries to people because of some of the weird moves they do. A lot of personal trainers actually don’t recommend beachbody. As a former trainer myself I’m horrified I did some of them. 😵💫 Autumns form just makes me cringe.
That's the hard part! I actually used to be an Insanity live instructor, and so many people love Insanity, they are like wait it's part of an MLM??? Shaun T seems like such a great human. If he left BB he could start his own platform and be so successful.
There are soooo many other services similar to beach body that aren’t an MLM. Peleton has new workouts all the time, something for everyone for 20$ CDN a month. Guided walks/runs, Pilates, yoga, strength, body weight, bootcamps and more.
As someone said, there are free youtube workouts (Heather Robertson comes to mind, i think that's the name) plus multiple apps that do the same thing. Peleton and Fiton come to mind. Fiton is free unless you buy Pro, which is $25 to $30 for the year, and Peleton is $12.99 for the month.
You’re almost at 100k!! 🤗🤩
I can't believe it!!
@@HannahAlonzoI wonder how we'll celebrate once you get there?🤔
I’d report the woman not seeking healthcare for her kid to CPS. The child doesn’t have a choice about how nutty their mom is, and lack of care could limit their lifespan.
The one comment about plexus curing Tourettes. Seriously!? Every time I think I’ve heard everything from these huns there’s another ridiculous health claim. Even the most basic understanding of biology & these health conditions would say that’s not possible 🙃
I used to wear Versace Bright Crystal! It’s a lovely perfume. I like your hair like this for a change 🤗
That bank worker pitching MLM to customers: shame on him. That is highly unethical and unprofessional.
And then what do you know, as I'm watching that, I am looking at my own bank's cash-back rewards offers and what do I see? Beauty Counter!
It’s scary that an actual teacher wouldn’t have been aware that this is a bad business model. The ppl preparing our kids for the real world apparently.
It’s not part of any teaching curriculum that I’m aware of. I’m sure she’s highly qualified for her job. This is a failure of the system
@@rachelhansen2417 wow so it has to be “part of the curriculum” lol no! You’re supposed to be smart! The whole point of school is to teach kids about the world they live in!
@@danisouris3429 and how is someone supposed to be smart about MLMs if they have no idea of how exploitative they are-especially when uplines hide the true structure?
High school should indeed teach kids about the world we live in-and that world includes MLMs. It’s a failure of the system for not teaching her beforehand.
@@rachelhansen2417 your comments just further prove my point.
We love Zeke, stop apologizing!!!
Love when I see a new video pop up!! And Zeke is always welcome. I swear he’s talking to you. 😂
It's really cool how much Zeke has Hannah on his channel lol I love their collabs
Hannah, I would love to see a deep dive of Shaklee. Some of my family members have recently joined... it's a hot mess. So many false health/ mental health claims. Thank you for all you do!!
Boosting this!!
i hope zeke is paying Hannah well, she seems to be doing all the real work for his channel 🤨
Zeke! 😻 Meow meow meow! I totally vibe with your anti-mlm purrspective, Zeke. 😸
The best way to know if an MLM claim is insane is to imagine West Dickens from Red Dead Redemption making them to you about his 'elixir.' If it sounds fitting, it's insane.
Omg I've bee dieing for a new one of these videos thank u so much ❤my only story is my dad was in herbalife! Idk if ever lost any money I don't think he did but I remember going to the big party's they had he was friends with the ceo!
Are we going to talk about the child that needs real medical care? I am not in the habit of questioning people's parenting decisions but this just seems extremely neglectful.
Try giving Zeke a chair next to you.
This sounds silly but I had my first baby girl 30 May, and my travel plans are to get comfortable walking while carrying her in a baby carrier 😂
My holiday plans are clearing out my in-laws house before it's sold. At least they lived in a holiday town. Then in September my husband is taking me away to watchh cricket.
OK Hannah that segue into the sponsorship was SMOOTH lol and your explanation of the product actually made me want to check it out (which is super rare for me) love seeing you get sponsors!
I usually don't mind watching sponsorship part of RUclips videos because I know I watch the videos for free and it's the least I can do to support the creator. If anything, it just adds my knowledge about various products available in the market. If the sponsorship is too much, or the video is too long for unnecessary content, I just skip the video and abandon the channel.
Your sense of smell is the most powerful memory primer, because that sense is directly weird to the brain. Very, very thin hair like fibers travel throughout openings in the base of the skull called the, "Cribriform Plate". That means smells are essentially hardwired to the brain. So when you smell a certain smell, that memory is more vivid thanks to that connection. My favorite is the smell of chlorine from a pool. Lots of great memories as a kid spending hours in the water.
Thank you for not putting music behind your videos. Ive been watching for two years now and i just realized why i love watching or listening to your videos so much 😅
I almost got sucked into amway from a lady in my church! I realized some churches are a BREEDING GROUND for these mlm vultures!
You’re totally right about having to pay 20% back as an independent contractor but when you’re actually calculating your deductions properly it at least brings down your amount of taxable income which means paying less in taxes for us 😂 just to clarify for anyone wondering, a lot of us don’t actually pay that 20-30% of our earnings in taxes bc deductions help us out quite a bit.
I don’t know about you all, but I’m team ‘never apologise for Zeke chirps’
Not me constantly pausing to check if that’s my cat mewing or Zeke 😅
Zeke is so adorable! He does a good job of warning my cats against MLMs.
That poor girl with cerebral palsy. That’s straight abuse.
I remember I signed up for Beachbody and I just thought it was a workout app lol got on it and realized all of these people were talking about selling these drinks and stuff and I was like oh hell no BYE got out of that real quick lol
4:22 Zeke actually said "hi" :D
I worked for a non-MLM company that treated their executives like celebrities - literally throwing small *parades* when they came to visit a location.
I was so weirded out by these "exec-visit-hype-parties" because I didn't see how being good at making phone calls and organizing teams made someone so special (idk, maybe I just don't understand what execs do all day)
But at least those executives have an actual job!
I'm left wondering something about Sam's story... Would it be possible that her not being the "ideal candidat" to join the MLM could also be the fact that she said she was getting ready to leave a cult already? Therefor in the mind of an MLM recruiter, could be a red flag that she would end up seeing through the scam with more ease given her past experience with an actual cult?
4:21 “hi”
“hi”
“how’s it going”
“well”
Working on my classroom all day today. You uploaded at JUST the right time!!
this came out at the perfect time for me to do my laundry lol!! love listening to these while doing chores ❤
Me too!!
Story 3 is borderline neglect imo. She is literally avoiding treating her child’s disabilities properly in every way possible. It’s so disturbing and I feel so bad for that child. Sniffing oils and a chiropractor? Seriously??
I’m 99.99% sure plexus would makd my ibs SO much worse lmao
My aunts, queens in their mlm, never paid a dime for their travels. They went everywhere, one of them even earning two spots for several trips. Perhaps it's a thing in my country? 🤔 I'm not saying mlm isn't bad or anything, but my aunts for sure thrived so hard there... If I didn't know better, that survival bias could have kicked hard.
The plexus mum should be arrested for child abuse / negligence by not providing medical care needed but exposing the child to possible harmful supplements & essential oils while exploiting the poor child to promote her business
