REACTING TO MYSELF WHEN I WAS IN A BOSSBABE PYRAMID SCHEME

[@juliejo]

Sorry about the random lighting changes 🙃

[@daftoptimist]

The only thing I feel watching is is compassion for the dark place you were in, and admiration for your strong character in admitting you were wrong. 👏

[@elise12345]

I was really skinny when my mental health was at its worst. I'm fatter now but in a better place. I'm with you on wanting to get active. It's such a battle to find a healthy thought process for fitness and nutrition. Good luck to you and all of us out here trying to love and take care of ourselves out here!

[@peachxtaehyung]

Yes exactly it's very tough

[@chickentenderanna5416]

Sammmee. I find myself wanting to be as light as I was at my lowest weight as an adult but I was extremely stressed and depressed at that time. I'd rather have a little more weight and be happy than be smaller and miserable! It's hard to find the balance.

[@heezypeasy8611]

Yesss. I know exactly what you mean. It's really tough to find the motivation 😞

[@Brooklyn-rj3np]

Same

[@chillmountain6356]

Same ❤

[@linalarue]

your Dwight candle 🕯️❤ Had the freakiest dream the other night, and Dwight was in it. He basically saved my life in the dream, from a crazy person. 😅 I realize this was such a random comment.

[@KinniMoo]

When you look at that and feel bad about what you did, remember, you wouldn’t be here helping all of these people if your had not gone through it. Sometimes we have to fall down before being able to climb higher. Also you look beautiful just as you are and way more genuinely happy 💖

[@ErinBies]

Look how far you’ve come, Bestie! Freaking amazing and I’m so proud to call you my friend!

[@vulpix_rising1459]

This is so weird! It's like watching you use your cute chatty powers for evil instead of good! I'm glad you made it to the other side, we have more money and fewer scams over here!

[@ErinBies]

Oh friend. This is so hard to see how much you were hurting and how sad your eyes were!

[@olliesGiGi]

That was hard for me to see too

[@cassandra_allen]

It shows a lot of strength in character to be able to reflect on your past self. We can all learn from our past experiences. Great video! ✌🏾❤️

[@trishamarie]

Don’t ever apologize for getting teary eyed. I can’t even imagine how it feels to watch the old you in front of thousands of people. You are brave for doing this JJ. Off to finish watching. I just want to hug you while watching this.

[@powellkatie123]

Now THIS is content 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 self accountability is so good

[@gingerjessietalks7685]

You are sooo much meaner to yourself than you are to other huns! Lol. I love these kinds of videos, but I also see the past hun as a different person than who you are now.

[@BeKind2AllKinds]

How I felt when Hunbot JulieJo started speaking The Word: 🙌✝️⛪️💃 But really, I’m so glad you are out of both cults! 🎉🎉🎉

[@CarlyC79]

Girl, you are so brave! I know I need to go back and watch my cringy self but it's scary. Right now I'm just so sorry to all the people I hurt through mlms!

[@Grymmorot]

I am impressed with your strength to look back at your self!

[@emilyfeldman8788]

i so appreciate you acknowledging that skinny doesn't equivocate to health. mental health is so important. i love how u discussed food moralization. there is plenty of room to add in movement, vegetables, and other health behaviors WITHOUT focusing on weight or appearance

[@He11o_Bitty]

22:28 OMG. You’re so cute. Love your reaction to yourself. 😂

[@BaublesOfDelight]

If "20/20 is hindsight" was a person. I so enjoyed this, and I enjoy you doing what you do now even more. Keep up the good work 👏🏽 👍🏽

[@Just_CoJo]

Thank you for being vulnerable! You can tell how much you have grown since then! You're an entirely different person now.

[@hmmcminn7221]

If anyone leaves any negative comments here, please know you are a warrior. The haters will challenge your self-concept even if you are really strong. Don’t even read them, just delete, delete, delete! Most of us can barely listen to our own current voice played back to hear. You are directly confronting your own cognitive dissonance - WOW! I wish every young woman approached by an MLM rep could see this. “Hurt bitches say dumb shit” - oh my gosh that’s fab. I’m so glad I did not grow up in the generation of KZbin. I can’t even imagine the “dumb shit” I would have to look back at. My twenty-something self…she was not good. Keep fighting the good fight.

[@unicornkitty1547]

You have come so far. You should be so proud of yourself. That girl from the past looks so very sad. Even when she smiles, her eyes look so sad and tired. So grateful for you and your voice

[@Heather90]

Can’t leave an emoji cause the gif in my head is of SpongeBob eating a bucket of his own arms while listening to a scary story. But truthfully, this is the most raw and real hun reaction video I’ve ever seen and I truly applaud you for it!

[@dahliacheung6020]

As for your leave an emoji below for how I feel after the cringiness... I'm caught between 😳, 😬, and 😱

[@tashaedwards]

Even the Jesus in a box thing, lol, you didn’t say anything I haven’t heard other Huns say. And you’ve changed so it’s great to see what can happen.

[@Faith-jk2yb]

I know these reactions are harder for you but I love them cause it’s you so the reaction is very straight forward and you can kinda say it all lol

[@lyordotan2998]

All the huns sound the same, incredible to see the "before and after" speech patterns

[@barbied4473]

🙀😵‍💫😩😩😩😩 how I felt. But I’m proud and greatful for you sharing this. Hugs.

[@kryssycolby5112]

You radiate light now!! I’m so proud of how far you’ve come!! And you only go as far that is comfortable and safe for you on your relationship with Arbonne!

[@katrinaosorio2134]

JULIE JO!!! Look how far you have come?!?! Don’t apologize for crying, looking back on our last trauma in real time is not something everyone gets to do publicly. You’ve grown SO much as a person and you should be SO proud!

[@brittany.anne9352]

The transparency and honesty in this is very very brave especially to share with the world this is awesome

[@BeKind2AllKinds]

Not Hunbot JulieJo busting out the Jesus card! 😂 Girl, you are so brave for reacting to this, because it’s hard to see past versions of ourselves. I couldn’t do it. I would die of cringe. 🫣 I love who you’ve become, which seems to be a very inclusive, kind, funny, smart human. And, not gonna lie, I love seeing people freed of religion (another cult). ❤️

[@TheHonorableAudio]

You seem happier and more comfortable in your own skin now than in your old hun videos. It's great to see how far you've come! I hope being able to see you go from there to where you are now can help others feel okay leaving. Just because you used to be a hun doesn't mean you always have to be a hun!

[@BeholdAlphaAndOmega]

This is amazing. How many of us could do this? How many of us can come this far? Inspiring. As for the emoji every time i hear "The Lord" 😓

[@SavMarie]

okay but tbh the first video's hair color looks SO GOOD ON YOU LIKE DAYUMMMMM

[@TheNikky13]

I came here to say that your stunning as a blonde and with the red too

[@ka2362]

This is one of my favorite videos you have done! I think in MLM people get so caught up in the warm and fuzzies. So glad you got out! You have sparkle in your eyes again ❤️

[@linzrojo]

Thank you so much for doing this video !!! I know it isn’t easy ( trust me I’m an ex Jehovah’s Witness and remembering what I use to tell people is so cringe 😩😩 ) but I think it’s so helpful it really puts things in perspective.

[@lmsmith015]

Thanks!

[@mamaya311]

This video made me cry! I'm a Christian and my faith is deeply personal to me (i.e. I have mixed feelings about organized religions, churches, etc.) but I can only imagine how devastating it would be for me if someone weaponized my faith like the MLM did yours. I know you're in a better place now, and I'm just some stranger on the internet, but I'm so sorry. You're incredibly brave for "exposing" yourself like this, and I hope you receive all the love and support for continuing to speak out.

[@bastetthemummycat]

I was reminding my daughter today, we follow Jesus, not people. People fail, people make mistakes, people make bad choices out of a varying and loooong list of emotions, needs and wants. Keep your eyes on Jesus. He doesn’t abandon or betray us ever.

[@mamaya311]

@@bastetthemummycat I'm glad you're teaching your daughter that. My mom taught me to always listen to my God-given intuition and trust my guardian angels to guide me. I can honestly say that I avoided a lot of bad situations with that advice. I hope to teach my daughter the same thing. I hate to see people in this world whose faith gets taken from them because they put their trust in the wrong people. I don't think people think that their faith needs protection, but it absolutely does. This is a dark world to live in without it.

[@jodynuttall3215]

Do these MLMs push the God factor on their people? My niece was sucked into one of these and now she talks about God and God's plan for her and blah blah blah. Never a word about religion before this. It's creepy. (Great, honest video. It's really opened my eyes and now I'm quite concerned for my niece 😢.)

[@juliejo]

They absolutely do!

[@tiffanyh1274]

Not for nothing, but I think being a former member of a mlm increases your credibility on the topic. AND I think it’s helps others who leave to know that you know how it feels and they’re not alone. Probably why your channel is so good. And your sass. Definitively here for the sass💁‍♀️

[@olliesGiGi]

That was a great video. Obviously difficult for you and I think it takes guts to face hun juliejo. Also, you are beautiful no matter your size. Inside and out. Just sayin

[@melotone_ale]

😬😬 Bless her heart. Hun JJ reminds me so much of someone I care about that is not in an MLM but she has DoTerra products all over her house. She’s extremely religious and relies a little too much on oils if ya know what i mean :/ It makes me so sad knowing that she is probably going through the same mental struggle hun JJ was going through but her religion makes her feel like she has to smile through it because Jesus. I feel like it’s only a matter of time before she falls prey to an MLM because she’s a SAHM of multiple kids. Thank you for being so open about what was really going on behind the scenes ❤️

[@UGAIMES]

Videos like this are so important when you can show how much healthier and happier you can be after leaving a cult. Great job as always, JJ!

[@sarajohnson4873]

You reacting to yourself is, by far, my favorite content. Thank you so much for being vulnerable and sharing...and YIKESS!!!!!

[@blewis8326]

This is SO BRAVE... very admirable of you

[@kimberlyharrissmiles2805]

You glow now, honesty, and you are amazing ❤🎉😊

[@Annaramro]

🫠 thanks for being vulnerable with us. This is why it’s the industry not the people 💔

[@michy8457]

You are very brave and strong. You look like you are in a better place now. I'm glad you talk about mental health.

[@kkrb1212]

I super love the brown hair on you too ❤️

[@tvtreasurechest6155]

I just discovered your channel and its awesome. You were skinnier back then but you actually look ill to me. I think your mental state was showing physically. So glad you're healthier and happier now!

[@music42380]

🫂 i’d hug boss babe you and current you. just knowing how much you were hurting and hiding your insecurities.

[@lindaandersson5257]

You deserve a lot of respect for sharing your story and speaking out against mlms. It takes a lot of strength and integrity to do it.

[@katiedesantis1664]

I've been watching you for a while and it's amazing to me to see your growth and confidence in yourself. It gives me confidence and I'm sure others. You're the sh!t!

[@ladystardust04]

I don’t know if you’d ever consider doing a video on this but I would love to hear your religious/spiritual journey and experience being a pastor. I would be super interested to hear what stories and thoughts you have! ❤

[@NotThatKate]

I like KZbin Julie Jo so much more than Hun JJ. ❤️

[@NotThatKate]

I'm also so much happier since I stopped trying to be skinny! I love this for you! Happy Fatties are the best and cutest and hottest people on earth.

[@peachxtaehyung]

1:20 yes please!!!!

[@IheartSummie]

I was in Arbonne for 2 seconds. And I didn't even realize that I had been recruited. The way that they so easily manipulate you to think it is the simplest thing in the world to do to earn some extra money. They truly sold me a dream in a matter of minutes. Its crazy how that can happen.

[@JanetMiller78]

Great job Julie Jo 💕. Don't be so hard on yourself. It was good. 💖

[@delaniedzienciol4044]

😬 The turn around!! 😍

[@dahliacheung6020]

Oh my goodness see the old Arbonne you absolutely breaks my heart. Even though I don't know you, you're someone who I really appreciate, I love the work you do and I love how open and honest and humble and kind you are while still standing your ground and establishing boundaries and how you're willing to admit your previous actions in the mlm. I love seeing you happy now, and hearing about your achievements and everything, so seeing you-even though it's you from the past- looking so broken and sad kills me. So glad you're out from under the MLMS thumb and proud that you're working so hard to keep others from falling into the same trap.☺️💖

[@polarbearzonthemoon]

You channel is all about growth, or at least that's what I see. You always incourage others to change and grow and be better, and provide a multitude resources to do so. Look at your growth!

[@tamocha39469]

This was incredible! It's so fascinating to see you poking holes in past you's content! I know these are tough to do but man they're interesting

[@livesouthernable]

I just wanted to come on here and say that I’m happy for you that you’re in a better place now. You have so much more healthy color in your face. I’m glad you’re taking care of yourself!

[@catherineelizabeth619]

Your face with the “Lord in a box” line was class! Love these videos with Hun JulieJo #hunjuliejo Your self reflecting is a rollercoaster of emotions, both hilarious and sad at times when you see the pain 🤍

[@TheRobinBull]

4:43 your hair color in both are 🔥

[@cynthiawallace9977]

I loved hearing this and seeing how you changed. I definitely think you look better now because that smile is awesome. Those mental health workouts are doing wonders for your beauty. My emoji: 🤣 heard it before and laugh WITH you.

[@tayloranne18]

Id just like to say this is the video that is making me subscribe to you😂 you’re so hilarious and i love your sense of humor. I’m so happy you’re out of the cult and doing better🥺 buuuuuuut I’d love to see more of hun juliejo hahahah

[@juliejo]

Thank you 😂❤️

[@jessiedarrelljarbadan7326]

I am so proud of you for putting yourself on blast and explaining what’s going on behind the Hun video of yourself, because it can be so hard to know what’s really true when the internet makes everything look so nice and so great. Also? ALL the ⭐️⭐️⭐️for how you’ve healed and worked on yourself to get to where you are now. Healthy is EVERYTHING, far more valuable than a body shape, and you deserve to be well and happy. ❤️

[@CR-qt4ff]

Even the cadence of your voice changed. Sounded like every other Hun. You sound much healthier now 👍

[@kareenah.kreations]

I just want to give you a hug. You’ve come such a long way and we love that for you 💕

[@KratomGrl]

I love you so much Julie Jo!! You rock girl

[@CarboneCat]

It’s both an humbling and rough experience to look back at your hun version. However, you can shed some light about your mental state at that time and we can all learn from it. It can show how vulnerable you actually were at that time. Edit: Holy Moly! You sounded like any other hun we’ve heard on your MLM top fails videos. In both the tone and the verbatim.

[@amandaelle1462]

I’m so glad you pushed through and did this reaction video. It is so interesting to see side by side. Makes me wonder how many other former huns look back and cringe at themselves too.

[@bethm4053]

My heart just aches for past you. I am sorry that you had to go through that. Thank you for sharing your story

[@evamateja]

I do enjoy when you react to your old posts ! I know it takes a lot of strength to do that so good job ❤️

[@maciahm7481]

Hey Julie Joe! I’m a new fan! I came across your content a couple months ago and I’ve been binging you, Erin, and DeeCee. After listening to hours of anti mlm content from you it was so weird for me to listen to this and hear your voice talking about the being on fire for the Lord 😂😂

[@Lucyely]

This popped up in my recommended & OMFG YOUR DWIGHT CANDLE 😂😂😂 I need one of those LOL

[@juliejo]

Welcome 😂❤️

[@GraciousExpectations]

Thank you for being so honest & vulnerable with us. ❤️ we stan a reflective queen 👑

[@shayla6308]

JULIE JO!! the first video and the FIRST things you said... GURL lol #canrelate #beentheredonethat 🥴😂

[@deviltchi]

awww i wanna give past u a hug. ur literally soo pretty btw i gotta say

[@cattc6946]

Not “I do this for you” omg off to a great start hun 😂

[@bonniehise5157]

Girlfriend that meme tangent had my face reacting involuntarily 😆

[@JackieUnfilteredASMR]

❤first time seeing “hun” you! I’m so happy you got out of the MLM 🎊

[@drenadreamcreations]

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL 😍 ❤

[@ashleynelson500]

I love that you refer to yourself as she! 😂😂

[@G-L-O-R-I-A]

Yes! Been waiting for this. Just clicked. Hope you’re kind to past you!

[@anniecarola]

I loved this video. It was so fun to see you reacting to yourself 😅

[@DisobedientAvocado82]

🙉- My reaction. Kudos to you though for being able to reflect back on this.

[@jennifersd2421]

Thank you for this!

[@Its_me_Debi]

😳😱🥺😡 sending so much love to hun Julie Jo and more love and warm hugs to You Julie Jo for getting out and getting help , 😊 ❤

[@chelseaofstars]

Here's my emoji: 😬 You've come a long way, JJ! 💜

[@carolineburton5934]

You have come so far, Julie Jo! I am SO proud of you!!!! 💕

[@astro_bunn]

This is powerful. I appreciate you making this.

[@LaLayla99]

I'm a couple years behind here, but I definitely had flashbacks to my childhood in the evangelical/pentacostal church. My sympathies...

[@davinatait120]

My husband sent me a video from 5 years ago when I was a beachbody coach and we were hooting and hollering 😂 and lots of cringing lmao

[@poundcake88]

You handled this well. I recall reading journals from when I was younger and it was about the same reaction. We grow and that's the best part. You look great in both hair colors! I did Arbonne too but just for a few months and I didn't like any of the products lol so I couldn't bring myself to doing social media.

[@Rxsan-l3f]

I've seen other creators do this. But yours....you are visibly not ok here. I'm glad you are happy now. Hugs

[@DG_212]

Just want to say it takes enormous courage to share these things - so I’ll give a 🙄 (Jesus is in a box?) but also ❤️❤️❤️ for taking care of yourself and being honest and having the integrity to present your authentic self. I do really like to see you were a Fiesty Hun

[@susannefaaborg]

If you say it will work out. You will belivet it. You sey it fine and fun to you selves.

[@shannonplimmer4981]

I can 100% relate to being much a smaller size than I am now and being in a VERY bad mental state. I cringed right along with you, JJ. I loved seeing this, though. It’s not easy to look back and own up to crap we’ve all done in the past. You rock!!!
