Good questionThat’s what I was thinking. It’s such an odd term. I know that Kevin was no longer affiliated with BYU. Was the end of his employment due to Jodi’s involvement?
The reason Jessi H decided to do the interview with KUTV 2 News Salt Lake City (link HERE) was because RF accused her young son of sexually abusing his siblings.Y'all this is crazy

YouTuber mom Ruby Franke's family says she should be put away forever
Last week Ruby Franke made astonishing claims that one of her minor children sexually abused one of their siblings and other children.www.dailymail.co.uk
I'm skipping around on this, gotta admit. I really don't want to hear Jodi's opinions on intimacy, tbh.Going back to this link here's JH speaking
About 8mins 10 secs into this video from 2019
She seems to derail the preceding conversation by ranting about lust
Then a bit later at 12 mins, she segues into an odd comment about ' lying about lunch'
wow, I didn't think about that but yes i do recall it! Penny has only just dropped.I'm skipping around on this, gotta admit. I really don't want to hear Jodi's opinions on intimacy, tbh.
But....there is a 10-year old on the audience?! What? Why? (This is at about 8:40'ish mark when the panel facilitator asks the audience if they have more than one 8-second hug a day.)
Also, Jodi seems fixated on basic bodily functions - like eating, movement, protection/comfort (like clothes and temperature), and sex. I wonder if she has bathroom issues too. Seriously a dangerous person who was eager to inflict damage.
I also think she has a warped definition of lust, but she also warps the words truth and victim so not especially surprised. To follow her when she speaks, you need to buy into her definitions (she insists!). No thanks. I can't stomach hearing more of her. imo

Do you have the timestamp for this? I was under the impression that the statute of limitations had ran out
Ruby Franke, the Utah parenting advice YouTuber facing child abuse charges, took more than $80,000 in since-forgiven loans from the federal government’s Payroll Protection Program (PPP), records show.
Two of her sisters, who have both publicly condemned Franke and said Franke and business partner Jodi Hildebrandt’s arrests “needed to happen,” also borrowed thousands of dollars in PPP loans that have since been forgiven.
Franke and her two sisters, Bonnie Hoellein and Ellie Mecham, each applied for two rounds of PPP loans on behalf of their productions companies. Like their sister, Hoellien and Mecham are both YouTube and social media personalties, with 1.4 million and 1.6 million YouTube subscribers, respectively.
The loan program was designed to help small businesses weather the storm of COVID-19 and pay employees who lost hours due to the pandemic. But plenty of influencers and content creators used it to pay themselves, raising questions about abuse and misuse.

Why family vlogger Ruby Franke's downfall has become such a spectacle
"I think it was so hard for people to believe that something so bad could be going on beyond the surface," said a creator who was among those posting commentary about Franke's hearing.www.nbcnews.com
I do think this is a pretty good article. If this sensational case helps the broad internet public--both those wanting to learn, and the vulnerable--- to be wary of these untrained influencers, maybe we all learn something.
IIRC, Jessi H referenced at least 14 years. I'd have to go back and watch the interview again to be certain.I haven't seen anything yet about when RF first met JH or encountered her teachings. It might go back farther than people realize.
Hmm. I missed where JH explicitly referenced RF in her interview.IIRC, Jessi H referenced at least 14 years. I'd have to go back and watch the interview again to be certain.
If by RF you are referring to Ruby Franke I know the earliest instance I can remember of her referencing Jodi was in 2020. Jodi was Ruby's eldest son Chad's (who is now 18) therapist and was actually the one to recommend sending him off to the wilderness camp.Not just the untrained influencer, but the trained influenzer behind the scenes.

Oh well, there's where it all started then. I'd missed that, thanks.If by RF you are referring to Ruby Franke I know the earliest instance I can remember of her referencing Jodi was in 2020.
