We've all been there- you see your Facebook messenger app light up and swipe up only to see a direct message from someone you haven't thought about since 5th grade...inevitably, it starts out "Hey Hun! I love seeing....." followed by a veiled question about your skincare routine, your weight loss goals, or hell, even your leggings!Emily Lynn Paulson is here to tell her own personal story as a "Hey Hunner" that quickly rose to the top of the pyramid- and she divulges all the mortifying truths that hold up those pyramids that make up the multilevel marketing world. This episode is definitely going to ruffle some feathers- and maybe even lose some listeners...but Jess and Jess are having the conversation anyway.Meet Emily:Emily Lynn Paulson is the author of Highlight Real: Finding Honesty and Recovery Beyond the Filtered Life, and the forthcoming Hey, Hun: Sales, Sisterhood, Supremacy, and the Other Lies Behind Multilevel Marketing (May 2023). She has given two powerful TEDx talks, both challenging the status quo of parenting, alcohol use, and feminism as we know it. Paulson 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. She resides in Central Oregon with her husband and their five children.Pre-order Hey Hun here
