You’ve seen them: those niche corners of the internet that feel like home, or sometimes like a trap. Last week, we exposed how subcultures quietly influence society. Now, we're digging deeper into what separates the toxic from the transformative.

We'll discuss:

• How healthy subcultures are built on value (not control)
• Red flags to watch for when a community starts to feel...off
• Real stories from the host’s personal experience in Amway and actress Bethany Joy Lenz’s stunning escape from a cult (read her book "Dinner for Vampires: Life on a Cult TV Show (While also in an Actual Cult)
• Why digital “tribes” shape how we buy, behave, and even believe
• How to build a thriving, safe, and value-led subculture of your own

If you're an online creator, coach, entrepreneur (or just culture-curious) this episode will give you the clarity (and the chills) you didn’t know you needed. Get ready for honest truths, insider insights, and empowering advice you can actually use.

Feel seen? Or maybe a little called out? DM @teasha.leigh or email hello@teashaleigh.com to share your story. We’re here for the real ones.
