This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. Landmark Worldwide is a corporation that offers personal and professional development programs with a total of over 2.4 million (!) past participants in 21 countries. Yikes on bikes—that sounds a bit like NXIVM on steroids. Well, while Landmark isn’t technically a cult, it certainly is “A Little Bit Culty”, with no shortage of spirit-stomping coercive control and intimidation in order to create “A world that works for everyone by 2020.” Wait, is that how 2020 went and we’re just misremembering it?!  Today’s guest, Kate Amber, survived Landmark and went on to become a badass expert on violence and abuse prevention after receiving her education from UPenn and the University of Salford. She’s also gone on to create the PsychoSocial Quicksand Model™—take a listen to learn all about it, as well as the time she challenged a Landmark leader, and how she eventually got out, even if she didn’t 100% want to (at the time).  Oh, and would you believe she has a Keith Raniere overlap? What a small, culty little world we live in.  Watch Sarah discuss Lori Vallow on NewsNation (Elizabeth Vargas Reports)  www.endccusa.com Facebook for End Coercive Control USA Twitter for End Coercive Control USA  Kate’s Twitter Please note, this series includes details of sexual abuse.
