Summary

*The stories shared in LuLaBitch are our own personal experiences, opinions and allegations of our time in the cult LuLaRoe. Some accounts may be triggering. Please listen at your own discretion. This is meant as a companion series to the Amazon Docuseries, LuLaRich, and is in no way affiliated with the film.* Maelen reached out to me after watching LuLaRich, and knew she needed to get some things off her chest about her time in LuLaRoe and the processing of those emotions. She shares her journey with me, starting with an out of state Inspire tour where she was one of a thousand women onboarded in one day, and what it was like to be a child free, single woman in an MLM obsessed with marriage and family. Maelen has A LOT to say, and I'm so happy to give her a platform to say it on. This is part 1.
