It is finally time...you have waited almost a full year...it is time to ask:

What About NXIVM?

And it is just Part 1! It will definitely be a multi-episode topic. It could easily be 2 or 3 parts to discuss all the information about one cult...NXIVM. Keith Raniere did not get sentenced to 120 years and a $1.75 million fine for nothing. Vanessa has reviewed it all (Heather busted out some Wikipedia to support it...how they do) from podcasts to documentaries to books and shows, she has watched it all...okay, except the Lifetime movie...it was just too much.
Vanessa had to start somewhere so listen in as the ladies follow the trail of women and the trail of money spanning 4 decades that built up to the start of NXIVM. Yep...you read that right...40 years of relationships and manipulation to maintain the lifestyle of a cult leader and supposed guru.
See below for all the media referenced and use to facilitate the discussion. Remember kids, it's okay to aim to better yourself this year, just don't join a cult!
