I wrote a memoir that encompasses my time in the book, but now we're working on a more of a part two of everything we've learned since the podcast, kind of to all the experts who've helped us. I'm sure it's changing, oh, I'm sorry, sorry, say it again.
Sarah shares her experience of writing a memoir about her time in NXIVM, indicating that it covers her journey within the group. She also reveals that she is currently developing a sequel that explores insights they've gained since then, especially through their podcast, 'A Little Bit Culty'.

There's a term negging; I don't know if you've heard it and I don't know the book, the—the idea is as I understand it, I’ll give you a little bit of approval so it feels good and then you'll always be chasing that approval.
During the discussion, the book 'The Game' is referenced as the source of the term 'negging.' This technique involves giving someone approval and then withholding it to create a sense of dependency. Megyn Kelly highlights how men use such manipulation tactics in dating, drawing parallels between these behaviors and the red flags seen in cult-like dynamics.
