Full Episode
So I have a question for you all. What do a spiritual wellness influencer cult and White Lotus have in common? It's actually a lot more than you would expect. And if you are somebody who uses social media actively, follows influencers like celebrities, this is an episode that you need to watch. Now, maybe it is just our culture's obsession with true crime, especially from women.
But over the last few years, I feel like I hear more and more stories of cults getting exposed, of celebrities and influencers using and exploiting their audiences in very cult-like ways. And the story of a recently convicted spiritual guru influencer is no different. This woman preyed on her fans insecurities and their search for meaning for her own gain.
So the question that that leaves us with is how do we protect ourselves from that? What is the armor against these insane individuals? Now, before we dive into this story, I just want to remind you, I am hitting the road for a tour this spring. All of the dates and links to buy tickets are in the description below. I hope I get to see you guys out there. I think it'll be tons of fun.
And I hope to meet a lot of you at the meet and greets. So the woman in question, this spiritual guru, her name is Cat Torres. And the reason why I know her story is because there was a BBC documentary that was done on her and her life from last year that is getting a ton of publicity in press right now. It is called Like, Follow, and Traffic.
a ton of posts about the documentary, I looked into it and I learned the insane story of this influencer turned convicted felon. Now here she is, this is Cat Torres, and basically she is a Brazilian influencer model who gained social status and prestige over the last 15 years or so. She even rubbed shoulders and kind of dated Leonardo DiCaprio and other celebrities like him.
Here they are pictured together back when she was 24 years old. And as she got older and her social influence grew, She kind of rebranded herself as a type of spiritual life coach and witchcraft guru, which is never a good sign, obviously. She sold courses online for thousands of dollars that women would buy to get personalized life support and advice from her.
Now, I don't know about her life coaching. I don't think I would ever want to buy that. But if she was going to sell me tallow, I certainly would because her skin is glowing. And that is what tallow can do for you. Now, I personally use Tallow Skincare from Amalo Tallow, and it is the best brand I have found, and I am so, so proud to be a partner with them.
Now, if you don't know, Beef Tallow Skincare is packed with naturally occurring essential nutrients, and it mimics my skin's barrier thanks to the natural fatty acids that occur in tallow. This means that tallow keeps me moisturized while actually working to heal my skin while not clogging my pores like other thick, artificially created products do.
Tallow is literally what our ancestors used on their skins for generations, and it is the perfect non-toxic switch to avoid endocrine-disrupting chemicals in modern skincare. And I love getting my tallow from Amalo Tallow because it is a small family owned business that produces this skincare right here in the United States.
