What turns a loving mother into a self-declared goddess on a divine mission to destroy? Lori Vallow Daybell’s transformation from suburban mom to apocalyptic believer captivated the nation—and left a trail of death and disbelief. In this episode, psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott unpacks the rare psychological disorders that may have fueled Lori’s descent into delusion. Was it narcissism, untreated mental illness, or something more sinister? We explore how Lori and her doomsday partner Chad Daybell spiraled into a shared belief system so extreme it blurred the lines between spiritual obsession and calculated homicide. Why didn’t anyone stop her—and could it happen again?
