My Educo Story

In January 2025, I anonymously shared my story with The Sun — how I was recruited into a cult by Pam Sidhu, a BBC radio presenter and Sabras Radio host. I spoke about the coercion, the psychological pressure, and the financial toll.

📖 Read what really happened — the anonymous exposé I shared with The Sun in January 2025: 👉 BBC star ‘brainwashing cult’ – The Sun

Was I naïve?
No. I was mentally ill.
I was dealing with undiagnosed bipolar disorder and EUPD — emotionally unstable, spiritually desperate, and fully convinced that “alignment” would pay my bills.
I wasn’t looking for a cult.
I was looking for a reason not to unravel.
They didn’t find me — they just caught me mid-crisis, sprinkled some “abundance mindset” on it, and sold me a seat in the Bahamas.

Pam called it “enlightenment.”

They said it was “transformation.”

What I experienced was exploitation — framed as healing.

💸 £4,000 for an EDUCO seminar

💸 Flights, supplements, birthday gifts, rituals

💸 Hypnosis sessions and lifestyle control

💸 Psychiatric admissions in 2023 and 2024

None of it brought healing. But all of it demanded silence — until now.

That story was mine. I was the anonymous source. Now, I’m no longer anonymous.

📂 Chapter 1 Teaser: 2017 – The Beginning of the Spiral

Before the Bahamas, before the blackmail and the manifestation mantras —

there was just me.

Newly single.

Two jobs.

No boundaries.

Pam watched.

She mirrored.

She knew exactly what to say.

Not all recruitment looks like persuasion.

Sometimes it sounds like:

“You have a gift.”

“You’re meant for more.”

“I saw this in a vision.”

I didn’t follow her.

I responded to conditioning.

And I smiled the whole way in —

because it was marketed as purpose.

💸 Financial Coercion: What I Was Pressured to Buy Under Educo (2017–2019)

They called it transformation.

They called it “alignment.”

They said I was stepping into my “highest self.”

In reality, I was stepping into debt.

I wasn’t trying to become rich.

I was trying to stay afloat.

I started thinking about money only because my debts kept growing.

LIFE wasn’t rewarding me. Visa was billing me.

Between 2017 and 2019, I was manipulated into spending thousands of pounds on supplements, spiritual tools, and gifts — all under the influence of Pam Sidhu and the Educo ideology. I was told these things would help me “transform.” In reality, they dismantled my finances, destabilised my mind, and kept me locked in a cycle of guilt, debt, and silence — repackaged as growth.

This isn’t a sob story.

It’s a breakdown of how financial and psychological control operate behind the language of “empowerment.”

💳 How It Started: A £1,000 Limit and an Expensive Illusion

When I met Pam Sidhu in August 2017, my credit card limit was £1,000. I barely used it. I didn’t fully understand how interest worked. I didn’t see that increasing that limit — under pressure — would shape the next five years of my life.

Pam called it “stepping into abundance.”

She encouraged me to raise my credit limit. She framed debt as a test of faith, a demonstration of commitment.

What followed wasn’t transformation. It was a trap.

I began using my salary to repay credit card bills — and using the credit card to pay for groceries, toiletries, and basic needs. I was told to “act as if,” to “trust LIFE,” and to stop worrying about the how.

She made me sell my mother’s gold bangle.

Because apparently, nothing says “spiritual growth” like pawning your mum’s jewellery.

I was told to “invest in my future,” “make the leap,” and “surrender resistance.”

She also made me buy lottery tickets.

Not one. Not once. Regularly.

This wasn’t framed as gambling. It was spiritual strategy.

I was told that buying lottery tickets would “help manifest the money for the seminar” — because a higher power, called “LIFE,” would reward aligned action.

It wasn’t enlightenment.

It was behavioural control disguised as belief.

💬 Rituals, Hypnosis & Promised Wealth

Every day, I was encouraged to listen to a hypnosis recording called Super You.

It spoke of “visions of fame.”

It promised I would manifest £50,000 if I just believed, surrendered, followed the routine.

“Playing these tapes daily affected my mental stability.

It gave me psychosis — not money.”

That’s not a metaphor.

I lost touch with reality. The rituals, the deprivation, the paranoia, the voice recordings — it broke something.

I wasn’t living in faith.

I was drowning in magical thinking and debt.

⚠️ Why It Matters

None of this was called coercion.

It was called “coaching.”

“Alignment.”

“Accountability.”

I wasn’t told to go into debt. I was told to “trust LIFE.”

I wasn’t told to abandon medication. I was told it would “block transformation.”

I wasn’t told to gamble. I was told it would “manifest abundance.”

That’s how control works here — not by force, but by reframing harm as healing.

Over time, I repaid more than £18,000 in coerced credit card debt.

Another £4,609 was written off when I could no longer keep up.

I bought supplements instead of paying rent.

Tarot decks instead of asking for help.

Lottery tickets instead of planning for my future.

Not because I was naïve.

Because I was being manipulated — slowly, repeatedly, and with spiritual authority — to believe that my suffering was proof I was “doing the work.”

It wasn’t healing.

It was financial exploitation, psychological abuse, and spiritual gaslighting — dressed up as “transformation.”

🧾 I’ve kept the receipts, hypnosis recordings, email confirmations, credit statements, and delivery addresses.

📂 More will be published through my memoir and legal/media timeline.

This isn’t about pity.

It’s about naming a pattern — before someone else walks into it thinking it’s healing.
