Escaping a Cult, Finding Purpose: Martha’s Journey Through Hell & Toward Healing EP | 153
In this episode of Life’s Checkmark, I talk with Martha Kartaoui, an incredible woman who escaped a life of strict control and trauma in a religious cult. Together, we unpack Martha’s brave journey and how she found the strength to break free, face her past, and use her story to help others heal. Martha opens up about what it means to be a “battle angel,” the hard choices she made for her future, and the role faith played in her healing. This episode is all about hope, resilience, and the power of choice. If you or someone you know is carrying weight from the past, Martha’s insights and honesty will lift you up.
5 Key Takeaways:
- Trauma looks different for everyone
- Healing is a choice and a journey
- You are not your pain or your past
- Connection fuels growth and resilience
- Faith and self-worth shape recovery
