A lot of people have suspected, with good reason, that there’s a thin line between self-development communities and cults. Some have begun questioning whether they’re in cults, or turning away from certain leaders because it started feeling cult-like, and I’ve also had clients confide in me that they’re afraid of potentially involving their clients in cultish dynamics.

The truth is the line between cult and non-cult is more nebulous and subjective than we might think. There are many dictionary descriptions of what a cult means, and not all of them insinuate something bad. So, if you’re finding it murky trying to distinguish what a cult is, and how to ensure you’re not in a cult or accidentally lead a cult, listen in.

Tune in this week as I offer my working definition of a cult, and the most effective prescription against cults. You’ll hear why there’s a danger of running into cultish dynamics, especially in coaching, spiritual, healing, or health-related fields, my insights on how wanting power is an unchanging part of human nature, and how to acknowledge that while being cult-immune.

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to find the best of my teachings organized into a beautiful actionable sequence, I got you.
