TRAUMA!
2025! Saying goodbye to relationships that no longer serve me.✌🏼Not only did I experience trauma from leaving the Mormon Church in 2017, but I also experienced it again after leaving an MLM! And mostly from their prophet/leader!
There are SO many instances that I can share where I felt this to be true, but needed to share what happened today….
First- after almost 10 years in this Fitness MLM business, (and succeeding) I decided to pivot- I wanted more growth. Something different. I was tired of sharing my life on social media but still wanted to work from home- insert “LIFE INSURANCE”. Becoming a Broker checked all the boxes for me and wasn’t an MLM.
When I had the conversation with my upline about my new direction it was the most awkward conversation I ever had.😬 More on that below…
But first, back in 2018 after being a TOP coach on her team for years I came to her seeking comfort as I just had Malachi and was struggling with my business. I told her I felt like quitting. Her response?! “THAT DOESN’T SCARE ME. I don’t need YOU- I don’t need you to make money.” (I have the screenshots) That hurt! 💔 Especially after how I ran my business! PEOPLE first! After that I kept my distance. I stopped building and just kept helping women with their fitness goals but it was hard to feel like I was more than just a money maker for her…..
Today it PROVED I was right. Like I mentioned, the last conversation I had with her I was sharing my new career with the Life Insurance business, and how BODi was no longer in my heart- I had stopped growing. She wasn’t happy for me at all. She shut down the Industry, and told me the only reason I wasn’t growing in Beachbody was because I wasn’t working hard enough.
Today, she posted about TIKTOK and the ban. My comment was this. Which she DELETED multiple times…
“I’m not on TikTok!😆 But I felt sad hearing the news for those who built their businesses on there! I know how it feels to have the rug pulled out from under you! But grateful I found an opportunity where I don’t have to rely on any social media platform to earn an amazing income from home! 🙏🏻”
I text her to ask if she deleted my comment and she admitted to doing so. This relationship was over as soon as I left the MLM and didn’t follow her to her next one. But now it’s officially over. I am so glad to be out of a RELIGIOUS and BUSINESS CULT!
Thank you to all those in Mormonism, and to all my old teammates in BODi who still want to have a true friendship with me without having alternative motives. ♥️🙏🏻
