    How would YOU know if you were in a cult? Sarah Edmondson on leaving NXIVM #380

    Sarah's Book "Scarred: The True Story of How I Escaped NXIVM, the Cult That Bound My Life" : https://www.amazon.com/Scarred-Story-Escaped-NXIVM-Memoir/dp/1452184267 Sarah Edmondson never thought she'd join a cult.Like so many others, she was searching for personal growth, community, and purpose when she discovered NXIVM—a self-help organization that promised to help people become the best version of themselves.Instead, she found herself trapped inside one of the most notorious cults in modern history.In this eye-opening conversation, Sarah shares how she became involved with NXIVM, the red flags she noticed from the beginning, and why she ignored them. She opens up about the secret inner circle known as DOS, the shocking branding ritual that changed everything, and the moment she realized the organization was far more dangerous than she ever imagined.Rachel also shares her own experiences with coercive environments and explores the psychology behind manipulation, control, and why intelligent, successful people can find themselves caught in systems they never intended to join.This is more than a story about NXIVM.It's a conversation about trust, belonging, influence, and how easily our instincts can be overridden when the right person—or organization—knows exactly what we want to hear.

    Jet Ski CRASH 😱 Miss Understood Saves The Day! TEA IN THE SEA #2

    I landed in Turks & Caicos to meet my husband, Dan, who had just completed the trip aboard MISS UNDERSTOOD from Palm Beach. The plan was simple: crystal-clear water, island hopping, great food, and a few days to unwind. Everything was exactly that… until it wasn’t. As we sat down to enjoy a glass of wine and watch the sunset, we heard an enormous crash. Within seconds, what had been a perfect day turned into a real-life rescue mission. A horrific Jet Ski accident had left a man with a severe compound fracture. Captain Seth immediately jumped into action, launching the tender to reach the injured man, while Dan helped coordinate the rescue effort as we safely transferred him aboard MISS UNDERSTOOD and into the care of emergency responders. In this episode, we take you behind the scenes of one of the most unforgettable days of our trip. We break down exactly how the accident happened, what it was like responding in real time, how everyone came together during the emergency, and how the story ultimately ends. It’s a powerful reminder that even in paradise, life can change in an instant. --- --- ---– PLEASE LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE, AND GIVE US A 5-STAR REVIEW!:  ratethispodcast.com/missunderstood  Shop Miss Understood Merch https://missumerch.com/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Rachel on Instagram!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/racheluchitelnyc/?hl=en Follow Rachel on TikTok! https://www.tiktok.com/@itsracheluchitel Executive Producer: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠George Carmona

    The "Trusted House Sitter" & The Dog Fiasco! TEA IN THE SEA #1

    If you’re obsessed with your dogs like I am, then you know that sometimes planning care for them is more stressful than planning the actual vacation. Before heading to Turks & Caicos to meet Dan and the boat, I thought I had everything handled. I booked a highly rated couple through Trusted HouseSitters, a service I’ve actually used before and genuinely love. The concept is brilliant: vetted travelers stay in your home for free in exchange for caring for your pets. Sounds perfect, right? Well… the night before my flight, I met my sitters and quickly realized we had a major problem: they were terrified of dogs. Yes. The people hired to watch Ziggy, Nala, and Mishka were scared of Ziggy, Nala, and Mishka. What happened next was complete chaos. I seriously considered canceling the trip, was crying, physically sick with stress, and scrambling to figure out how to protect my dogs while still getting on a plane the next morning. In this episode, I’m sharing the entire behind-the-scenes story of the dog-sitting disaster that almost derailed our Turks & Caicos adventure before it even began. Trust me… you can’t make this stuff up.

    I Was In Prison With Mackenzie Shirilla: The Real Story Behind Netflix's The Crash | Miss Understood #378

    After Netflix's The Crash reignited national attention around Mackenzie Shirilla, Rachel Uchitel sits down with former inmate Kat Crowder, who spent time incarcerated with her in Ohio prison. Kat shares what Mackenzie was really like behind bars, why she says the woman featured in the documentary didn't match the person she observed in prison, and what inmates thought about one of the most talked-about true crime cases in recent years. She also discusses Mackenzie's prison reputation, disciplinary reports, relationships behind bars, and the reaction inmates had to seeing the documentary while incarcerated. But this conversation becomes much more than a story about Mackenzie. Kat opens up about her own troubled past, her father's suicide, addiction, multiple arrests, a high-speed police chase that landed her in prison, and the daughter she believes ultimately saved her life. It's a powerful story about accountability, redemption, second chances, and rebuilding after prison. --- --- --- PLEASE LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE, AND GIVE US A 5-STAR REVIEW!:  ratethispodcast.com/missunderstood  Become a Patreon Member: https://www.patreon.com/c/MissUnderstoodwithRachelUchitel Shop Miss Understood Merch https://missumerch.com/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Rachel on Instagram!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/racheluchitelnyc/?hl=en Follow Rachel on TikTok! https://www.tiktok.com/@itsracheluchitel Executive Producer: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠George Carmona
