    Not about this brand, but I have been using Dashing Diva mail strips for years! A few weeks back they launched a program that was basically an ✨mlm ✨ but they didn’t call it that. Consumers LOST IT and were so disappointed with the decision. A few weeks after the initial announcement, they finally came back and said they DISSOLVED the new program explaining that they value their costumer more than anything else. I share because it was a huge win! Thank you for sharing the negative side of these mlm companies and bringing light to the challenges and hard ships it can cause. I appreciate your content so much!

    Unfortunately I have a friend that is deep into this MLM. It’s so sad to watch her, but - as an individual that has been on Lexapro for years - it’s also infuriating. I avoid her mostly now, but she did message me once claiming that her products might “help me get off the script” and I was enraged. I’m fortunate to have insurance, and my pills are $9 for a 90 day supply, and they have made life changing improvements to the way I function! Why in the world would she try to convince someone to PAY $200 a month for some crappy supplements that will most likely NOT WORK? The fact that my poor sweet friend is preying on people with these vulnerabilities is infuriating. This has 1 million percent negatively impacted our 20 year friendship:-(

Any suggestion from someone (and they're never mental health professionals) that I need to get off my meds gets me so heated. And to think these reps are out there, with no health care education, with the ultimate goal of making money instead of 'do no harm.' It's just vile. I hope your friend eventually sees the light...maybe she'll see this video and Hannah's lovely nature will prevail.

      For real! My meds cost me $5 per prescription (for the ones my insurance covers). My insurance doesn't cover the meds I really would prefer for my ADHD, but what I do take is better than any supplement I could take. I want the long acting form of my meds that is also harder to abuse, but insurance will only approve to pay for me to take two shorter acting forms of the medicine (two different doses, taking one of each per day), and this form is very common for abuse and makes me uncomfortable having it on me or having anyone know I take it because I need it and don't want to deal with it potentially being stolen or having someone offer to buy it. But again, what I have is much better than vitamins or supplements or anything I can access without a prescription, and it's cheaper too, since it costs me $10 per month total.

At first she only sold the products but then she jumped like 3 levels in a month and now all you see on her social media is about the opportunities this company gave her. She earned a trip to Panama and even made a post about “how can network marketing be so bad if everyone is happy.” She has lost weight on the products where she struggled before but still. Now she joined another MLM because it’s “smart business to have multiple avenues of income”

    27:20 Hannah, what concerns me about the names of these ranks is that “Servant Leader” is a term that is widely used in the Christian faith - especially in Evangelicals/Pentecostal churches . The notion that Christ was the ultimate Servant Leader (ie the leader so humble that he would wash his disciples feet etc) and while it is a wonderful concept and I do not begrudge anyone their faith. This smacks of potential Faith Manipulation - aimed at The most vulnerable people possible. The evangelical church already has a pretty poor track record with their stance on mental health. I will have a look through the rest of their site to see if there is any other language that may be indicative of a faith based connection. Thank you for all the work that you are doing. I love your compassionate and reasoned approach to exposing the manipulative tactics of these predatory schemes.

    I'm in training to become a mental health professional and the ratio of people to mental healthcare providers is staggering. For reference, the average therapist sees about 25 clients a week -- so if even 1/10 of the 350 people per provider need mental health services, therapists are still going to be overbooked. And that's without thinking about things like insurance, scheduling, medication management, etc. The mental health system in this country is broken, but MLMs are not the way to fix it.

    Something that's good to know: When talking about "mental health issues" it's important to note that ADHD & Autism don't fall under that umbrella. They're neurodevelopmental disorders, meaning they have to be present in early childhood or before a certain age to be able to be diagnosed. You can't develop ADHD as an adult if you didn't have it as a child. You can however get Depression, PTSD etc. later in life. Also, people with ADHD or Autism may or may not struggle with their mental health.
    In my case for example I have ADHD and mental health issues. I can overcome and heal my mental health issues through therapy but I can not heal my ADHD.

You have such a nice voice and you present these topics in such an engaging manner that I could literally watch your videos for hours. Thank you for your service and I honestly believe you saved dozens of people from making regretable life decisions by now.
    [Edit:] Also as a health care professional (I am a neuropsychologist and work in a neurological clinic) these health claims are just WILD. Like what the actual hell? If there were any pills or powders that effortlessly treat a myriad of complex issues like they claim, you might think that I of all people would have heard of it. But I haven't. Because they don't exist.

    My favorite sales pitch is why give the money to a big box store and not help your friend next door with their small business. Which I absolutely would buy local. I make an effort to buy local. Meat, eggs, vegetables, crafts, small bakery, and local coffee. That is small business. These are, in my opinion, scams and predatory. Also, in my opinion, they do hurt real small businesses.

    As an analytical chemist, they have pretty much listed every single analysis technique but not really what they are using them for. Just listing HPLC? Is it purity analysis, if so is there a spec saying how pure it is. It’s there limits. Where’s the CoA. As a chemist who understands and has used everything on that list, it’s just a list and honestly means nothing and I highly doubt they have even tested most of it properly

      I'm not a chemist but have done a lot of research reading and writing for a psychology PhD and could not agree more. It's just a list of tests and no descriptions of testing methods, what they are testing, or what the outcome of testing is...and you'd have to evaluate the quality of EACH OF THOSE! Not to mention the conflict of interest in funding something where they could easily leave out "inconvenient" data. They rely on people being ignorant to the games being played in academics and "the ministry of science".

    thanks for making this video. a lot of people are going to turn to this out of desperation. in my area, it's not uncommon to have a 6 month waiting period to see a psychiatrist as a new patient. these supplements have the danger of people taking them and then blaming themselves for not "getting better" or feeling any different. that kind of guilt can weigh heavily on an individual and can push some to do things they could regret.

    29:19 When talking about the percentage of members by rank, one way I think about it is that it's not that recruits have a less than half percent "chance" of making a livable wage. I think say that they have a 0.5% "chance" is too generous - it sort of implies that getting to the top is a lottery. The reality is that the half-percent of people making a livable wage are doing it on the backs of the 99.5% other people. I think it's important to emphasize to people trying to join is that it's not just about "hard work" or "chance" - the small numbers at the top are only possible because there are 99.5% other people. The money only flows upward, so as a new recruit, I would picture having to step on the backs of your entire downline, because your downline is also in the compensation plan. Success in an MLM isn't in a vacuum, every person in your upline and downline is somewhere in this compensation plan - and I think realizing just how many people you would have to recruit and exploit just to make a living wage is a much more tangible and realistic picture that helps us understand just how small that 0.5% is.

    I used to work in food quality for a pretty major food manufacturer, and while it was customary for a company to have a document outlining their analytical practices, it's only a part of the necessary whole. Sure, those are what they claim to be testing for, but where's the evidence? what are your target specifications? what do you do if something is out of spec? what is your accreditation? who regulates your company? I'm going to guess that most of those questions don't have answers. That sheet is a farce and simply a way to try and look like they're compliant, but anyone with at least a passing knowledge of quality and food safety practices knows that analysis sheet might as well be toilet paper for all the evidence it provides.

      Sadly, MLM reps see us as easy targets since it's so well known that people with depression and anxiety have problems with their digestive system. My first stay at the psychiatric hospital i was asked if I had any issues with my stomach and I was like "uh, yeah, why do you ask?" They had a special diet and offered some meds and stuff too.
      Also, back and neck pains are a common thing, because we tend to kinda curl into ourselves and are tensed up all the time.

    I live in Utah. When I heard about this, especially when you mentioned the name of the top sales tiers being "servant leader", I guessed it was another MLM started by someone in the predominant religion here in Utah. Yes, another one. A quick Google search found that to be true.
    They're everywhere here. I go to get-togethers, even with people from my church, and I hit it off with someone and think I'm making a friend. Then they get my phone number and try and recruit me. It makes me feel used.
    I know someone who is at the top of this company in sales. Her perfect image and very numerous social media posts became too much for me, so I had to unfollow her. There's something heartbreaking and disingenuous about them when it comes across as the only reason they'll talk to you is because they can use you/recruit you. Always working. Never seeing the real person.
