Some accounts may be triggering. Please listen at your own discretion. This is meant as a companion series to the Amazon Docuseries, LuLaRich, and the Discovery+ show The Rise and Fall of LuLaRoe and is in no way affiliated with the films.*If you've seen The Rise and Fall of LuLaRoe, you're familiar with Carla Hadfield, the owner of the Airstream and Sam's biggest victim. As with most exposes, a lot gets left on the cutting room floor, so when Carla expressed concern that some of what she shared might be cut out due to time constraints, I invited her to spill her guts to us. While Carla's MLM story isn't much different than most, what happened to her at the hands of a predator inside the organization definitely is. Through a series of vulnerable events, coercive conversations, and emotional manipulation, Sam stole almost everything Carla had, until she decided to fight back.Show NotesWatch The Rise and Fall of LuLaRoe now!
