In this deeply personal episode, I open up about two major life events—my wedding and baby shower—that were entirely decided for me. From the guest list to the location, nothing was truly mine. I share how these moments, which should have been joyful and celebratory, were orchestrated by the controlling hands of the group I was part of. Join me as I reflect on the emotional toll of having such meaningful life experiences taken over by others and how I began the journey of reclaiming my autonomy.

In the upcoming episode of "How to Leave a Cult," I'm joined by David, a former cult member whose story is both unique and deeply compelling. David and his wife initially found solace in practices like Transcendental Meditation and Rebirthing, which brought them positive experiences and a sense of peace. However, these very practices led them to the doors of the cult, where they were drawn in by charismatic leaders, Trina and Steven.

David shares his emotional journey of joining the cult, leaving, and then rejoining years later, all while grappling with the influence of the ministers he once admired. When the cult's leaders turned his wife against him, David felt trapped, unable to leave as she distanced herself from him. Their situation became even more dire when one of the ministers resorted to physical abuse, prompting them to finally flee together.

This episode sheds light on the power of manipulation, the challenges of breaking free, and the complex interplay between spiritual practices and cult influence. Tune in for an insightful conversation about resilience, love, and the struggle to reclaim one's life.

In this episode of "How to Leave a Cult," I dive into how the harsh and unforgiving teachings of the church led me to become controlling in my relationships. Driven by a desperate need to live up to the impossible standards set by the cult, I started to enforce the same rigid rules that were imposed on me. This episode explores how the pressure to conform to extreme beliefs can warp your sense of self and turn love into a mechanism of control.

But there’s hope for healing. I also share how I began the journey of breaking down the layers of walls I had built around myself. Through powerful visualization techniques, I slowly started to reclaim my identity and free myself from the cycle of control that had been ingrained in me.

Join me as I reveal the personal struggles of navigating relationships under the weight of cult expectations and how visualization helped me rediscover who I truly am.
