I have been listening to A Little Bit Culty for a few years. The discussions and guests give insight beyond cult awareness speaking to the tenets of good health and self value.
Huge shout out to both Sarah and Nippy. I’ve been listening since day 1! I watched The Vow in 2020 and it woke something up inside of me. At that time I was on a practice pause from teaching Yoga because I started to feel like Yoga wasn’t what I was lead to believe. I am back to teaching again, with my eyes wide open. Question…Do we just live in a cult culture? Took me 3 years to stop saying “everything is a cult”… but I still feel that way! This podcast has been my lifeline, I never miss an epi... more
I've been listening to Sarah and Nippy on and off for a few years. One thing that really struck me was the episode on Landmark. About 10 years ago, a former supervisor of mine (we were both laid off from work) emailed me about it, and I went to the website. It didn't take long for me to conclude "oh this sounds so culty." Fast-forward a few years and guess what, my gut was right. This is something Sarah and Nippy also emphasize a lot. Still, I wish I thought to copyright the word! lol live and k... more
I look forward to every episode and I’ve gotten something out of every episode. Highly recommend this podcast to any human being whether you’ve been in a cult, you find cults interesting, or you love someone that’s in a cult. Be prepared to get something out of every episode.
I mostly enjoy this podcast, with excellent guests featuring. My only issue (I’m sorry to say) is that Nippy too often interrupts the speaker, without even adding useful or enlightening comments. I think this pod would be better served with just Sarah (sorry, Nippy!)
