Sarah Edmondson, the NXIVM whistleblower whose courage helped bring down Keith Raniere, returns to Reality Life to talk about her new book, A Little Bit Culty: Navigating Cults, Control and Coercion. Sarah spent twelve years inside NXIVM and recruited more than two thousand people before she was branded in the secret group DOS and went to authorities and The New York Times. Her story became central to HBO's The Vow. In this conversation, they discuss what she has learned since leaving, how she and her husband Nippy have made it their life's work to help survivors heal through their podcast A Little Bit Culty, and why smart, ambitious people can be drawn into high-control groups one reasonable-seeming step at a time. She also talks about the red flags everyone should know, the long road of recovery, and what she hopes readers take away from the book.
