What does it take to break free from a childhood inside a cult, heal the scars of trauma, and — after two divorces — finally find real, emotionally mature love at 44?
In this unforgettable episode, trauma-informed coach Vevian Voz shares her raw journey of growing up as a Jehovah’s Witness, being shunned at 32 after divorce, and facing the weight of secrecy, shame, and dysfunction. From surviving domestic chaos and substance abuse in her family home, to leaving two marriages behind, Vevian’s story is one of courage, healing, and transformation.
Her first Ayahuasca ceremony cracked open her healing, leading her to study under Dr. Gabor Maté, become IFS certified, and host 15 plant medicine retreats in Costa Rica. Today, she helps women break free from emotionally unavailable parenting, cultural and religious conditioning, and cycles of self-abandonment — guiding them back to their authentic selves with clarity, compassion, and inner peace.
✨ In this episode, you’ll hear about:
What it’s really like to grow up in a high-control religious cult
How psychedelics like Ayahuasca can support deep trauma healing
The impact of childhood trauma on adult relationships and self-worth
Breaking cycles of silence, shame, and dysfunction
Finding authentic love after two divorces at the age of 44
This isn’t just a story of survival — it’s a roadmap of hope, resilience, and the truth that it’s never too late to heal or find love.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
