Conversations with My Mind: The Learning Podcast

Am I a Boss Babe or a Cult Member? with Roberta Blevins | S2 Ep8

Ance Vanaga / Roberta Blevins Season 2 Episode 8

Brace yourself for laughter, disbelief, behind the scenes of making an Amazon Prime documentary and learning why someone most likely is a victim of cult tactics rather than a boss babe, if they have joined a multi-level marketing company.

My guest on this episode is the one and only Roberta Blevins! If you are a documentary binge-watcher like myself, you might recognise her from the series of LuLaRich. However, Roberta is much more than that. She is also a mother, a great friend, a hair stylist and an anti-MLM activist, who is not afraid to speak up for herself and other victims of this not-so-fair business model. She is a tiktoker, a youtuber, a podcaster, an instagrammer - you name it - and all of these communities are welcoming her with open arms.

When Roberta and I started recording, I quickly realised it would not be a short episode. Although, why would it be? While on the same wavelength, we spoke about Roberta herself as well as her experience with joining and then leaving LuLaRoe, a previously heavily overrated clothing MLM company. We also chat about ways to get out of these cult-like organisations and why it might not always be as easy as some of us might think. As a fantastic bonus, Roberta gives us an insight into how Amazon Prime created the famous LuLaRich documentary and how they managed to get the owners on camera as well.
