On this episode I tell Russ about the horrendous cult leader Gwen Shamblin. What started off and a weight loss program would over the course of 30 years turn into a full blown cult that still exists today! As her fame and fortune grew so did her hair and so did her secrets and lies! She formed a church in Brentwood Tennessee made up of a congregation full of disordered eating, child abuse and even a murder. Moral of this story... If the thought has crossed your mind that you may be in a cult, you most definitely are!!
