Breakthrough to Breakdown: The Anatomy of a Cult with Kellie Rhea

Open Loops with Greg Bornstein: Conversations That Bend

The Hermetic Principles of Business? The energetic significance in the etymology of the words that make up the building blocks of your existence? How about understanding "Universal Consciousness" to further your journey towards entrepreneurial success?

You might finally understand your "Human Source Code." Yes, you might just be the "unstoppable force particle" that you didn't even realize you were until you soaked yourself in the Laws of Polarity, Correspondence, and Cause and Effect.

.......What in the WTF with Marc Maron are we even talking about?

The return of Kellie Rhea, of course!

Back in 2021, when she was still a top facilitator inside one of the most persuasive personal development organizations around, Kellie came on Open Loops (Episode 88) and delivered a potent, mind-bending dose of esoteric empowerment that left Greg’s neurons spinning like a bumper car on a Tilt-A-Whirl with nowhere to go.

...turns out they didn't.

In this exclusive interview, Kellie returns to dismantle and deconstruct everything she once believed, exposing the insidious way communal narcissism, power dynamics, unregulated healing modalities, groupthink, manufactured awakening, and spiritual sleight-of-hand can combine to entrap even the most earnest seekers in a high-control environment.

What happens when a transformational high hits too hard... and never really ends?

This isn’t just a story of disillusionment. It’s a forensic breakdown of belief systems gone rogue—told by someone who lived inside the source code... and clawed her way out.

This episode is High-Octane Cognitive Dissonance. It'll throw you. After absorbing the content fully, Greg somehow woke up curled in the fetal position in the crevice of Tony Robbin's jawline.

He's still clawing his way out...
