Twin Flames Preview

00:00:00
Speaker 1: I know we all want love that happily ever after feeling of finding your soulmate. But what if someone not only claimed they could help you find that perfect partner, but they could guarantee it. Jeff and Shealia, a young couple famous on YouTube, teach about twin flames, a deep romantic connection with your perfect ultimate partner. In their videos, it's divine love. You're design for no one else, and they're designed for no one else. But the path to finding your twin flame is not so simple. Those who start to doubt the group are instructed to cut ties with friends and family that are holding them back and to corner and claim their twin flame through stalking and intimidation. By the time some members are able to leave the group, they don't even recognize themselves, and the harassment to rejoin makes them fear for their safety from wondering. Twin Flames is a podcast about what happens when the quest for love turns into a dangerous obsession.
