  • #9 Keeping the Faith (no, not that one)
    Jul 8 2024

    Most of us have a negative association with the word "faith". To those of us who have escaped from high control religions, the word "faith" implies blind allegiance to a harmful belief systems that creates division and doesn't hold up to the slightest scrutiny.

    Today, we suggest not throwing that baby out with the bathwater. We redefine and reclaim the word faith, and talk about the importance of cultivating your own personal belief system; one which will serve you and help you live a fuller life.

  • #8 Why it's so hard to wake them up (and some ideas if you choose to try)
    Jul 5 2024

    What's better than waking up from the org? Waking and taking your friends and family with you.

    Sadly, this is easier said, and almost never done.

    In this episode we talk about the psychological mechanisms which keep people asleep, as well as a few ideas for those bold enough to try (please be warned though, in my experience it is nearly impossible)

  • #7 You Are Not Broken
    Jun 30 2024

    Sharing our story, of the ways in which we have been hurt by this organization, and our grief over challenges it has created for us is an essential part of our healing process.

    But sometimes, we can get a little stuck in this stage of development, and not infrequently the story we are repeating is one that perpetuates the idea that we are forever damaged, or "broken"

    This episode, we deconstruct this disempowering belief, and talk about some ways that we can take the power back
