When Chloe first moved to Los Angeles, she wanted to be an actor. She didn't know she was Chloe yet, was just a lost 'boy' making her way in the world, and she stumbled onto what seemed like a free ticket to success: a 'casting director' who was teaching a free acting class to find new talent. But from there, she entered into a world of lies, deceit, misery, abuse, mental manipulation, trauma, and more.

This episode breaks down her experience in the cult, how cults function, the mental manipulation tactics employed to keep people trapped, and the fallout from the whole ordeal.

A MASSIVE trigger warning: This episode features descriptions of SA and other forms of abuse.

As you may have seen recently (and probably for the first time) the word "transmaxxer" has been gracing our social media feeds. This is a very specific type of person, a far-right incel who *pretends* to be transgender, and is guilty of nearly every thing that the real transgender community is frequently accused of...

WHAT?! As they say, *every* accusation is a confession. Is it possible the haters have only been experiencing *transmaxxing* content and still have no idea what transgender actually means?

Where does the concept of narcissism come from? What causes it? Is there a genetic component? Can people with NPD be 'cured'?

Chloe dug into the research and read all the studies and has an alternate take on how it all fits together. Facts like, "there is no single unifying factor that defines all narcissists," or "the only proof that we have that there is a genetic component comes from a self-report mail-in survey on child twins" are just the tip of the iceberg as we explore everything that the psychology community currently knows and understands about what is currently classified as a Personality Disorder.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are the type of person who has dated a narcissist for a long time because you believe you can 'cure' them, or because you have empathy for their situation and 'understand' why they are the way that they are--NARCISSISM is REAL, and there are a lot of narcissists who learn how to fake healing so that you will stay and continue to give them supply. Do not take this episode as a reason not to leave an abusive situation or a situation that causes you distress. While on a big-picture scale, we may not know very much about the personality disorder, we are also nowhere near a 'cure,' because that might literally require rebuilding society from the ground up. I don't think this was made clear enough in the episode.
