I love this podcast!! Not only the material you cover, but I personally think the host’s personalities are awesome!!
This is a heartfelt podcast hosted by siblings Matti and Ashleigh who were separated for over 25 years due to their father’s cult and control. Their reunion and shared experiences bring warmth and honesty to each episode, with laughter and deep understanding between them. Their ability to support each other and others living through difficult situations is truly comforting. As someone who has navigated cult experiences with my own sister, I find their stories relatable, reassuring and so caring.... more
I was listening to episode 62, and was deeply disturbed and disgusted to hear the guest use such blatant orientalist, Islamophobic, and xenophobic language starting at the 00:29:02 mark. Through tears, she says “this is not saudi arabia, this isn’t some war-torn country where we have suicidal bombers. This is in Joplin, Missouri.”
What does she mean by all of that? What is the listener supposed to infer? I would like to know. This same assumption of muslim being synonymous with war is whats ri... more
The pod is a place for the more personal stories of individuals who have lived through high control religion. I laugh along… sometimes I cry along. Makes a person feel less alone in having made it through similar experiences.
I have loved and told so many people about this podcast because it felt powerful and raw and needed. Until ep 62 with Taylor. It’s ok that the hosts and some guests are not Christian. It is ok for their belief to be a belief in nothing. However to dog others and talk about how you can’t be Christian and believe in the Bible. They talk about how they are smarter than others because they use critical thinking to disprove beliefs and others don’t. I don’t care if you believe in God, Jesus, Buddha o... more
