25: The Cult of Teal Swan Part 1 of 2: The Fathoms of Deceit

We're continuing our cults series by diving into what we've termed Cults 2.0, the online self-help gurus who've made it their mission to deliver spiritual wisdom and healing to the global masses via YouTube, Instagram, and other online platforms. And one particularly polarizing figure in this world is self-identified "social catalyst" Teal Swan.Welcoming friends Chris and Beverly into a lively discussion, Allison attempts to shed some light on Teal's childhood and eventual ascent to controversial modern-day guru. We also break down many of the problems of guru culture, and why it often tends to turn toxic, and why Swan in particular is dangerous to people vulnerable to serious mental illness and suicidal tendencies.But first we must ask ourselves why people are drawn to Teal's highly unorthodox techniques, and also more importantly... is this even a cult?Additional Info:Watch The Deep End on Hulu:https://www.hulu.com/series/the-deep-end-e052aae5-14fb-4043-bb11-94f5880421b3Teal Swan Exposedhttps://tealswanblog.wordpress.com/The Gateway Podcast and Article:https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2018/08/205915/the-gateway-teal-swan-youtube-cult-jennings-brownThe Truth About Cameronhttp://thetruthaboutcameron.blogspot.com/Growing Up With Teal Swan (Mormon Stories Podcast)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY04M9tNEq0A former inner-circle member of Teal's speaks out:https://www.celestialhealing.com/2017/07/teal-swan.html Show Credits:Graphics -- Nathaniel Dickson: http://ndickson.comMusic -- Spencer Morelock, Ken DicksonDing Dong Darkness Time Media:Twitter: @dddarknesstimeInstagram: dddarknesstimeGmail: [email protected]
