EP. 210 — The Culty Con of Teal Swan w/ Sarah Marshall
What’s Poppin’ Congregation? Today, Sarah Marshall is back to discuss Teal Swan, a 38-year-old self-proclaimed spiritual leader whose practices have led some of her followers to self-harmful behaviors. She denies that “she is in any way a cult leader.” Plus, a bible salesman has been accused of orchestrating a multi-million dollar fraud in a scheme that spans almost a decade. Stay Schemin’!
