Summary

It's just a little fun on the side. Sell some oils or woven baskets, make some pocket money. Of course, that's not how it ends up at all. Multi-Level marketing companies are mainly Christian/Mormon run--Mary Kay, DoTerra Oils, Pampered Chef, Advocare, and many more. The secret hidden in plain sight is that 75% of people (ok, women) who join MLMs don't make money. And about 50% LOSE money. Bonnie and Karen discuss which MLMs are religious-based, why, and what the hell is going on. They try to keep their usual light manner, but it gets hard when so many mothers are getting shafted by something that is supposed to empower them. A big thanks to the podcast The Dream by Jane Marie for covering this topic in depth. Find more on our website. Find us on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook Page And please SUBSCRIBE. Thank you.
