Cult Church - The Story According to Me

On this episode I talk about my childhood raised in a religious cult, including how the church began, how it shaped our home-life and family dynamic and led to my home-schooled education. I tell the stories of the biggest events and beliefs that shaped who I am and detail the doctrine, fear-based manipulations and "no way out" ideas that kept me stuck. Ultimately forgiveness is the path to being 'unstuck.' My life mantra as it pertains to my upbringing is: I start now. Forgive Hard. Repeat.   *This episode is highly personal and does not cast many people in a positive light. Therefore I did not name names or places and tried very hard to be sure that my opinions and ideas are noted as such and I am not slandering, accusing or calling out any person for any crime or wrong-doing.  This is just a story of my experience for the sake of telling it in the hopes that it encourages the listener to shake off the chains of their own childhood if needed, and to go out and live a life more abundant.  This episode involves a lot of raw emotion and is not as professional-sounding as i would wish. It was a balance between editing it and letting it flow. I hope you enjoy and I hope you bear that in mind when listening.
