In this episode of the Call Cheryl HUN podcast, host Cheryl Spears interviews Heidi, a former Beachbody coach. Heidi shares her experience with the company, from being a customer to becoming a coach herself. She talks about the pros and cons of Beachbody, and how it ultimately affected her mental and physical health. Heidi's story is a cautionary tale about the dangers of multi-level marketing (MLM) companies. She explains how she was lured in by the promise of financial freedom and a flexible work-from-home schedule. However, she soon realized that the reality of being a Beachbody coach was much different. Heidi was required to spend a lot of time and money on the company's products and programs. She was also expected to recruit new coaches, which put a strain on her personal relationships. As a result, Heidi found herself in debt and struggling with her mental health. Heidi's story is a reminder that MLM companies are not always what they seem. They can be predatory and exploitative, and they can take advantage of people who are looking for a way to make money. If you are considering joining an MLM company, be sure to do your research and understand the risks involved. I hope you enjoyed this episode.
