  • Sarah Edmonson & Nippy Ames: NXIVM Survivors

    Sarah Edmonson & Nippy Ames: NXIVM Survivors
    Jun 25 2024

    Mike talks with Sarah and Nippy who escaped the NXIVM cult and were featured in the HBO documentary, The Vow. They now host A Little Bit Culty podcast shining a light on cult-like groups and environments, and helping victims recover. We highly recommend Sarah's best selling book, Scarred, and her Ted talk, How To Spot a Cult.
