SarahEdmondson is a Canadian actress and voice-over artist who has starred in multiple TV series and more than a dozen films. Her whistleblower story following her departure from personal and professional development company NXIVM ("nex-ee-um") is told in her memoir, Scarred, the CBC podcast Uncover: Escaping NXIVM, and critically acclaimed HBO documentary series on NXIVM, The Vow. Her TEDx talk, “How to spot a cult,” is featured on TED.com.
As an actor and former college athlete, Anthony “Nippy” Ames was drawn to NXIVM’s goals program. In his twelve years with the organization, he rose steadily up the ranks as a teacher, built centers in New York and Vancouver, and met Sarah, his now wife and podcast co-host. When he learned that the company was, in fact, a dangerous cult, he wasted no time in doing exactly what needed to be done: Helping burn its carefully constructed public image to the ground.
Now based in Atlanta, Sarah and Nippy continue the conversation with the A Little Bit Culty podcast and now book of the same name—exploring the healing process with the help of experts, advocates, and fellow survivors. They attend conferences and events as speakers and cult-recovery advocates.
