doTERRA recruiting in a mental hospital
I was hospitalized after a couple suicide attempts, and am now in a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) focused mainly on DBT therapy. There are a few PHP groups at this hospital, and each one seems to have patients with different issues. The people in my group are struggling with issues like suicidality, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and borderline personality disorder. There's a different group for people dealing with things like psychosis and schizophrenia, and another one for people struggling with addiction. The program is generally decent, but the mid-morning activity therapy can be hit or miss, depending on the therapist.
Yesterday's music therapist brought in essential oils and coffee filters, dabbing the filters with the oils and passing them around for us to smell. Over half the people in my group left the room because the smells were so strong. One girl couldn't stop coughing, and a couple other people complained about having headaches. The therapist described the different scents and then passed them around to us. She said they could be very calming. I'm overly agreeable and I can't stand awkward silence, so I offered that scent was a very primal sense, so it could affect us on a deep level. The therapist then started telling us about how her oils come from doTERRA because their oils are the purist, and then she talked to us about where we could buy doTERRA oils.
Both times we've had this therapist she's left early, once half an hour early in a one hour session, and another time 15 minutes early. She's also had us listen to pop songs and read the lyrics. This time she brought in "Fireflies" by Owl City, and just asked us what we thought about the song and lyrics. Frankly, it was an idiotic waste of time. I've seen better music therapists have us share our own music and explain what it meant to us, but this therapist wasn't interested in investing that much effort.
I know MLMs target vulnerable populations, but going after mental patients who are in crisis seems like a new low. Most participants in these PHP programs just transitioned out of being inpatient. I was familiar with MLMs because a girl I knew got sucked into Arbonne and through researching that I discovered this subreddit and YouTubers like Munecat, so when this incident happened I couldn't believe I was getting my first MLM presentation at a fucking mental hospital.

Independent Travel Agent
I don’t know if it’s just me (or a weird algorithm thing) but I keep seeing people pushing the ‘Travel Agent’ thing online. Basically, earn commission on holidays booked for yourself or others.
Seems to be a big emphasis on recruiting other people to join your ‘team’.
Funnily enough, you still have to pay an upfront fee and then a monthly payment to keep access to the travel database.
Anyone else see this or have experience with it?

Thats not what ‘dogmatic’ means, & it's not a compliment. Also, why are you randomly shouting?

Saw one in the wild for the first time
I couldn't get a picture of it, as I was driving at the time, but the SUV in front of me had a Mary Kay sticker on the back window. I just laughed and shook my head, my son was with me, I laughed and said "I never thought I'd see one in person, but there you go."

Has anyone heard of Biz to Biz? My sister was approached and I'm worried it's MLM-ish
My sister works as a waitress and was recently approached by a guy who told her she'd be
"great for his business." He even offered to pay for her classes so she could get a license and start working with him.
The company is called Biz to Biz (biztobiz(dot)world).
From what l've seen, the site looks pretty vague and
"opportunity" focused, but I'm not sure if it's MLM, a scam, or just a sketchy business pitch.
Has anyone here heard of this company before? Is it legit, or should my sister steer clear?
Thanks in advance, I know MLM recruiters often target service workers like waitresses, and l'd rather make sure she doesn't get roped into something shady.
