This is the episode I’ve been both nervous and deeply called to record. For over a year, I’ve known that I needed to share my story about being involved in a cult-like spiritual group… and how I found the courage to leave, heal, and rebuild my trust in myself and my spiritual path.
In this powerful and vulnerable episode, I take you behind the scenes of:
✨ The moment I realized I was caught in a manipulative spiritual community
✨ The psychological and energetic tactics used in high-control groups
✨ How my Saturn return forced me to confront unhealthy authority and reclaim my sovereignty
✨ The fear, guilt, and grief I faced when leaving: and the relief and freedom that came on the other side
✨ How this experience shaped the way I now run my business, teach the Akashic Records, and hold space with radical integrity

This is not a story of blame or sensationalism, but of healing, truth, and reclaiming power. If you’ve ever felt manipulated in a spiritual or coaching space, or you’re healing from a community or relationship that broke your trust, I hope this conversation brings validation and light to your journey.
