This last guest Margarit Davtian, sounds like she likes to hear her self talk. A whole lot of talking but no real point getting across. Blaming capitalism for her issues, and claiming that JD Vance is somehow worse than trump? Like come on.. is that even possible? lol. She seems like one of those people that blames everyone else for their issues but takes not accountability is how she presented her self. 10/10 don’t suggest having her back on
What a pleasure to hear from a guest (Margarit Davtian) who is knowledgeable, compassionate, self-aware and non self-aggrandizing. I look forward to the next session(s) with Margarit and commend Ashleigh and Mattie on their interviewing expertise.
I only recently started listening— the latest series of interviews is lovely.
Hi Mattie and Ashleigh,
Australian listener here who stumbled across your podcast a couple of weeks ago and have been obsessed!!
Hearing your own stories and those of your guests has been very interesting and has helped me to understand how people end up in cults, especially those who aren’t born into them. It’s really been educational and I feel so much compassion for those who have escaped.
You both should be incredibly proud of the bravery and courage it took to begin this podcast, and a... more
It often feels like therapy for me to listen to Mattie, Ashley, and guests discuss their memories and feelings about leaving the cult. Great podcast.

Two siblings recount their traumatic family history within a high-control religious group and how they rebuilt lives after exit, while hosting experts and survivors to unpack cult dynamics, brainwashing, and healing. Episodes blend memoir with critical analysis of leadership abuse, gender roles, and the long path to autonomy, often featuring therapists, researchers, and former insiders who share actionable insights for recovery and prevention. Noteworthy is the show's careful, trauma-informed approach and its emphasis on rebuilding identity, healthy relationships, and compassionate accountability after leaving harmful systems. Potential listeners can expect intimate storytelling combined with practical frameworks for recognizing coercive dy... more
