In a revealing conversation, Emily Paulson, author of Hey Hun: Sales, Sisterhood, Supremacy, and Other Lies Behind Multilevel Marketing, pulls back the curtain on the not-so-shiny world of multilevel marketing (MLM) companies. With a blend of personal anecdotes and a sharp critique, Emily dives into her own journey through the enticing yet deceptive landscape of MLMs. Tara and Emily discuss the often predatory tactics used to recruit hopefuls, the staggering failure rates among participants, and the hefty financial load carried by distributors caught in the MLM web.The conversation wraps up on an empowering note with Emily, also a Certified Professional Recovery Coach, sharing her road to sobriety and the creation of the Sober Mom Squad, a community for mothers walking the sober path. The podcast episode truly peels away the glamorous facade of MLMs to spotlight the pressing need for integrity and support in personal and professional realms.

Emily Lynn Paulson was a busy, ass-kicking mom to five children when she realized something was missing. Wanting to find a way to enter the workforce again, she met up with an old friend one night who introduced her to some products. Products her friend was selling. Products that Emily could sell too. She could work her own hours, be her own boss, and still spend all the time with her kids. It sounded perfect. And it was. Until… well, it wasn't. -- Emily's book, “Hey, Hun: Sales, Sisterhood, Supremacy, and the Other Lies Behind Multilevel Marketing” was a book of the year pick by NPR for 2023. — LINKS Find Emily: Instagram @emilylynnpaulson Founder of @sobermomsquad Follow us: Instagram @wasiinacult Support Us: https://www.patreon.com/wasiinacult Have a story to share on our show?

Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.  Just in case you're thinking about joining that incredible business opportunity selling a life changing product…don't give them your credit card info until you've listened to this A Little Bit Culty remix. We've put together a special Anti-MLM 101 Starter Kit episode with some of our favorite crusaders in the war on schemes, scams, and other internet flim-flams especially for you. Our upline on this one is pretty solid. We dug into our archives and Roberta Blevins came out swinging, so a segment from our Season 2 episode with the LuLa Rich fan fave is at the top of the batting list. She chats with us about the dangers of moldy leggings, #bossbabe energy, pricey sea cruises, other MLM tomfoolery. After Roberta, we move on to a clip from our more recent episode with Emily Lynn Paulson, an author and mother who believes that all MLMs—which form a $180 billion industry—are cults. Spoiler alert: We violently agree. And last but not least, we go all the way back to our Season 1 chat with Douglas Brooks, an attorney and MLM-buster with insights on what it takes to seek justice for people who've been screwed over. Take heart: When prosperity gospel grifters write big checks that their sneaky asses can't cash, there can be legal consequences. NOTES: Roberta Blevins was a Trainer with LuLaRoe, had a team of 75 women under her, and made over $65,000 in bonuses alone. But when she came to the conclusion that it was a rigged, losing game she didn't just leave the business: she testified in the Washington State vs. LuLaRoe Pyramid Scheme lawsuit as a witness for the state. Since leaving MLM, the fan favorite from the LuLaRich series has educated herself on the systemic structure of the business model, the psychological manipulation, the seedy underbelly and governmental ties, the cult indoctrination, and the history of Multi Level Marketing. She educates daily on TikTok, and podcasts in her "free time" on her own podcast, Life After MLM, which explores the dangers of Multi Level Marketing through the eyes of the victims and survivors. Her work has been featured on Amazon Prime Video, Vice Media, Bloomberg News, Split, and Business Insider among others.

In this episode, we are joined by Emily Lynn Paulson, the author of "Hey Hun: Sales, Sisterhood, Supremacy, and the Other Lies Behind Multilevel Marketing."  Emily experienced massive success as a leader in a well-known multi-level marketing company. She quickly rose to the top of the organization but left after the MLM took its toll on her life, health, and values. She left her success behind and went on to author her book, which shares a glimpse behind the scenes of an MLM, the tactics used to lure women into them and keep them there. Emily is on a mission to help educate women about how to spot an MLM, how to get out of one if already involved and what to do if being pitched to join one. We also discuss how MLMs can often blur the lines between influencer marketing, fundraising, advocacy and small businesses. Some episode highlights: How one can easily fall into the trap of joining an MLMHow to spot MLM red flagsInfluencer or MLM scam?Why women are more likely than men to be influenced or taken advantage of by MLMs. How to leave an MLM if you are involved or what to do if you are being pitched to join. To learn more about Emily Lynn Paulson and Hey Hun:Read Hey Hunemilylynnpaulson.comInstagram: @emilylynnpaulson Want more from SheSpeaks?* Sign up for our podcast newsletter HERE! * Connect with us on Instagram, FB & Twitter @shespeaksup Contact us at podcast@shespeaks.com

This week we wrap up our summer series with a conversation I've been wanting to have for ages. It's honestly taken me a long time to get up the courage to ruffle some feathers in service of the greater good. In today's episode, I'm talking with Emily Paulson about direct sales - also known as network marketing, social selling, and multi-level marketing (MLM).   Although it goes by a few different names, the principles are the same, and we're going to dig into how the business model really works. After being a completely unsuccessful consultant with 2 MLM companies, my goal with this episode just might be to have a little vindication….    This type of business model has left a negative impression on women in terms of what owning, and growing a business is all about. I sincerely believe that owning your own business is the best way to have it all, and it pains me to think women who want to start something of their own hold themselves back because of what they've experienced being exposed to this culture. If you're in a Direct Sales business, I really want you to hear me when I say that this isn't about you, the consultant, it's about the company and the business model as a whole.     As we get ready to launch the Style Network again, I knew it was time to get over my fear of offending people and talk about this–in hopes that women who do want to start something of their own won't hold themselves back because they believe they have to follow a business model that just feels icky. Having a wildly successful business is possible.    Speaking of which, if you've got an eye for style, a heart for serving women, and the desire to build a business of your own, the Style Network training and certification program could be just what you're looking for. Grab our free guide to 5 Things you Need to be a Successful Stylist and 5 things you don't. That will get you on the list when details come out for our next round. I would love to help you build something real and lasting.   Join me for an enlightening look at multi-level marketing (MLM). I hope you find our conversation entertaining and informative–and if you've ever thought about starting your own business, I really hope this episode gives you a fresh perspective.    Emily is the author of the book Hey, Hun: Sales, Sisterhood, Supremacy, and the Other Lies Behind Multilevel Marketing.   In it, she shares the story of how she signed up for the sisterhood, free cars, and the promise of a successful business of her own. After making well over a million dollars at one of the top MLMs, she realized what she really had were burned bridges, broken friendships, and an unsustainable schedule. Now she's speaking out to spark change and bring a new perspective to the cultural epidemic of MLMs.     In this episode you'll learn:   What MLMs are and how they are different from Pyramid Schemes The link between personal development and the MLM model  The ways the MLM model aims to exploit women's needs and pain points and what to watch out for Emily's best advice for any listeners who are working for MLMs   Of course, if you're in a Direct Sales business, and you feel this doesn't apply to you, great! I'm talking about the MLM model, so if you want to DM me and let me know how your situation is different, I'm all ears!   Full show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/emily-paulson

Cracking Open podcast has so many incredible guests lined up for you this season! Today's guest is Emily Paulson – a writer, Certified Professional Recovery Coach, TEDx Speaker, and the Founder of Sober Mom Squad. She is passionate about ending the shame and stigma of mental health and substance use disorders, and her own recovery path is focused on ruthless honesty, grace, self-love, and the belief that sharing our truth with each other is the best resource of all.Emily opens up about her struggle with alcoholism and how it led her to get sucked into the culture of multilevel marketing. This path made her millions but soon felt dishonest and exploitative. Once she got sober, she was able to clearly see the problematic environment of multilevel marketing and the many victims that get caught up in it.She has since authored two books: Highlight Real: Finding Honesty and Recovery Beyond the Filtered Life, and her newly published book Hey, Hun: Sales, Sisterhood, Supremacy, and the Other Lies Behind Multilevel Marketing. Emily has given two powerful TEDx talks, challenging the status quo of parenting, alcohol use, and feminism as we know it. She has also been featured in major publications such as the Today Show, New York Times, Washington Post, The Seattle Times, Chicago Tribune, Next Question with Katie Couric, and the Tamron Hall Show.Today's episode is ultimately about choosing compassion over shame when you reflect on your past choices. Emily helps us understand that when we feel lonely, afraid, or have unresolved trauma, we often make decisions that we think will lead us to feel connection and "normalcy" but more often than not those decisions only lead us further away from ourselves and our truth. And when we are healed and whole, our decisions and truth become much more clear and help light the way to the life we were always meant to have. Emily's story is one of truth, sobriety, and how to get honest about the world and people around you, but most importantly with yourself.Love,MollyLearn more about Emily Paulson herePurchase Emily's books hereListen to Emily's Tedx Talks hereConnect with Emily on Facebook and Instagram Learn more about Molly Carroll hereConnect with Molly on Instagram and FacebookFeeling Stuck?It's Your Time To Get UNSTUCK3-Month Small Group Coaching ProgramStarting October 5, 2023Book a FREE discovery call with Molly today!

Emily Lynn Paulson is a Writer, TEDx speaker, Founder of Sober Mom Squad, and Author of Hey, Hun: Sales, Sisterhood, Supremacy, and the Other Lies Behind Multilevel Marketing. Top 3 Value Bombs 1. MLMs prey on hope, the hope that you could be that small percentage of people who succeed. They also amplify the stories of the people at the top, so, it seems like the success is more widely available than it really is. 2. Everybody who is in an MLM is a victim before they come become a perpetrator. It's the system that's flawed, not people. 3. Just ask questions, don't judge, but try and get that critical thinking to come back online. If you want to be supportive of your friends or family who are in these schemes, the best way to be supportive is by being a soft place to land.

Finding connection is a huge drive in all of our lives and it's no secret that people have found what they were looking for in MLM and alcohol use. Even if they later realize that these solutions are much more destructive than they are good.  My guest Emily Lynn Paulson is the author of Highlight Real: Finding Honesty and Recovery Beyond the Filtered Life, and Hey, Hun: Sales, Sisterhood, Supremacy, and the Other Lies Behind Multilevel Marketing.  She has given two powerful TEDx talks, both challenging the status quo of parenting, alcohol use, and feminism as we know it.  Emily is going to take us on her journey of sobriety and rediscovering herself and her community after leaving MLM.    We're going to dig into: [1:20] What does happiness mean to Emily [3:02] How Emily got involved with MLM and the similarities between that and alcohol use [5:52] The fear of things not being fun, or missing out when finding sobriety [8:37] The shift of the societal conversation toward wellness in relation to alcohol [10:18] How both MLM and alcohol filled her need for community [13:14] When Emily realized she needed to get out of her MLM once she found sobriety [16:09] How was her community affected when she found sobriety and left the MLM industry [21:38] What was the inspiration for Emily's book [24:02] Her healing journey and repairing relationships after leaving the MLM [25:32] How can someone create a little more happiness each day starting today   Resources: Podcast Resources: https://www.simonacostantini.com/resources  Apply to be a podcast guest: https://forms.gle/WtXHsqZmiEhCwTAk6 Emily's book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Hey-Hun/Emily-Lynn-Paulson/9781955905251   Connect with Emily https://www.instagram.com/emilylynnpaulson/ https://twitter.com/emilypaulson https://www.facebook.com/emilylynnpaulson  https://www.emilylynnpaulson.com/  https://www.sobermomsquad.com/    Connect with Simona www.instagram.com/simona__costantini  www.instagram.com/costantiniproductions  www.instagram.com/happinesshappenspodcast  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXtOxOAuXxW7c5cYKdAEfWg  https://twitter.com/simona_cos  https://www.facebook.com/costantiniproductions  https://www.facebook.com/happinesshappenspodcast/ www.simonacostantini.com

Emily Lynn Paulson is the author of the new book Hey, Hun: Sales, Sisterhood, Supremacy, and the Other Lies Behind Multilevel Marketing and Highlight Real: Finding Honesty & Recovery Beyond the Filtered Life. She is also a speaker, recovery coach, and the founder of Sober Mom Squad, and has given two powerful TEDx talks, both challenging the status quo of parenting, alcohol use, and feminism as we know it. Emily has also been featured in major publications such as the Today Show, New York Times, Washington Post, The Seattle Times, Chicago Tribune, Next Question with Katie Couric, and the Tamron Hall Show. Emily made well over a million dollars during her residency as a #bossbabe at one of the top MLMs. What's wrong with a little girl power? Turns out, a lot. She earned every bonus, gift, and international trip. But she also pushed away friends and family, burned bridges, and wasted precious time being distracted with ‘her business' instead of spending time with her children. She recruited hundreds of women into a dream that wasn't achievable or sustainable.   "As a stay-at-home parent, I was understandably attracted to a culture that offered a salve to my loneliness. But I learned that MLMs are actually a way for women to exploit other women. I saw the links between the pseudoscience, white supremacy, and, yes, racism that infiltrated MLM life. I'm speaking out to spark change."  -Emily Lynn Paulson Emily and I discuss: how Emily ended up in an MLM, why MLMs are often pyramid schemes, how the consultants are actually the customers, why terms like “bossbabe” and “ladyboss” are misleading, why MLMs are often described as “cultlike”, Emily's quick rise to the top of her organization and how her white privilege and pre-existing financial security made that possible, exclusion, religion and racism in MLMs, the role of “love bombing” and toxic positivity in MLMs, how MLM life encouraged her drinking and brought her to a rock bottom moment, how she exploited her cancer diagnosis for her business, the truth behind the “all-expense paid” trips and cars, the darker side of MLMs and why she decided to write this book  how it turned out differently than she'd expected.

At the time of her cervical cancer diagnosis in 2015, Emily Lynn Paulson was involved in a multi-level marketing (MLM) company — a business where individuals sign up to sell products, and then are encouraged to recruit others to distribute under them.  “When I got the diagnosis, I thought ‘OK, I'm going to have to step back and take a break from this,” Paulson said in an interview with CURE®. “I was really encouraged by the people in my upline (saying), ‘Use this to your advantage. You're going through this thing. People love personal stories, people love vulnerability.'”  After Paulson was diagnosed, others in the company encouraged her to use her diagnosis to sell more products; she said that this type of emotional manipulation was not an uncommon tactic to make more money.  READ MORE: The Dark Side of Cancer and Social Media Meanwhile, Paulson underwent a trachelectomy (cervix removal) and was working on getting sober after her bout with cancer. Two years later, she received a second diagnosis, which led to a hysterectomy, and more doubt about the company she was working for. Eventually, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, she said she realized how predatory these sales tactics were and left the company to become a sobriety coach and author of the book, “Hey Hun: Sales, Sisterhood, Supremacy, and the Other Lies Behind Multilevel Marketing.”  “Being in an MLM, you really target people's pain points… there's a solution to every pain point; it's just a very predatory design,” she said.  In this episode of the “Cancer Horizons” podcast, Paulson discusses her cancer experience, life in the MLM, sobriety and more.  For more news on cancer updates, research and education, don't forget to subscribe to CURE®'s newsletters here.

Cult Babes! Boss Babes! Huns! This week I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with author Emily Lynn Paulson to discuss the Culty-ness of MLMs. Why Emily? Well, she quite literally wrote the book on exposing MLM's which comes out this May called Hey, Hun: Sales, Sisterhood, Supremacy, and the Other Lies Behind Multilevel Marketing. We're getting into everything from sales tactics to myths, how Emily herself got involved in a popular MLM and her experience after leaving.

A few years ago, Emily Lynn Paulson didn't think she had a problem with drinking. She'd quit cold turkey for her pregnancies, after all. But there always seemed to be a reason to drink, an opportunity, an excuse. And, soon, a constant. And her kids noticed. So she made a decision, found a sponsor and a 12-step program, and quit. Now Emily is the founder of Sober Mom Squad, a Certified Professional Recovery Coach, a Facilitator of Addiction Awareness and the author of "Highlight Real: Finding Honesty and Recovery Beyond the Filtered Life." But there was something else she needed to be honest about: her complicit relationship with a predatory multi-level marketing outfit (MLM). Drinking had helped make Emily a sales juggernaut, but she didn't like what she'd bought into. So for the second time inside a few decisive years, she intentionally pivoted away from something central to her life. In this episode of "Your New Life Blend," host Shoshanna Hecht talks to Emily about her upcoming book, "Hey, Hun: Sales, Sisterhood, Supremacy, and the Other Lies Behind Multilevel Marketing," and her path away from the slippery-slope culture of casual drinking and MLM payday, and towards making amends, and changes.Emily's website: https://www.emilylynnpaulson.com/ instagram.com/emilylynnpaulsonlinkedin.com/emilylynnpaulsontwitter.com/emilypaulson facebook.com/emilylynnpaulsonSober Mom Squad: https://www.sobermomsquad.com/instagram.com/sobermomsquad"Highlight Reel: Finding Honesty & Recovery Beyond The Filtered Life, and Addiction"https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/highlight-real-emily-lynn-paulson/1133930990"Hey Hun: Sales, Sisterhood, Supremacy, and Other Lies Behind Multilevel Marketing"https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Hey-Hun/Emily-Lynn-Paulson/9781955905251
