B*tching About Hypnosis, Cults, and Personal Development

This week on Big Name B*tches, we’re chatting with actress, comedian, and content creator Manon Mathews. Manon was an early star on Vine, where her hilarious videos reached over 1 billion views. She opens up about everything from her love of self-help programs (or are they cults?), experiences with ayahuasca, and getting clear on what she wants right now. Plus, the ladies discuss what it’s really like to work on SNL, the time Christy tried Scientology, and Manon’s book Funny How It Works Out.

Did Anneliese go to school with NXIVM leader Allison Mack? Did Christy’s OBGYN tell her she was fat? What’s it like to work on a Disney cruise? Tune in now!
