Ep. 26 | The Truth About MLMs, Life Coaching, and Mental Health | Jaclyn Leya a LCSW is BACK!

This month, Jaclyn Leya, a licensed clinical social worker, is back for her monthly conversation (PREVIOUS EP. 21) about how problematic Beachbody/BODI is. We discuss the company's predatory business practices, the harmful effects of its products and programs, and the ways in which it can damage people's mental and physical health. Cheryl and Jaclyn are two women who have been through it all. They've been in multi-level marketing companies as a customer and a coach, Cheryl has worked with life coaches, and they've struggled with their mental health. On this podcast, they share their stories and insights in the hopes of helping other women avoid the same pitfalls.

We discuss the differences between Beachbody and Peloton workouts, the qualifications of life coaches and mental health professionals, and the dangers of giving advice outside of one's scope of practice. They also talk about their experiences with MLMs, the harmful effects of mindset courses, and the condition orthorexia.
