In this remastered conversation, I speak with former co-leader of the Covenant, the Sword and the Arm of the Lord (CSA). Unfortunately, I found out recently that Kerry passed away last year. It was a very quiet event, with no mention of it in the anti-cult community. This deeply saddened me as Kerry spent so much of his life attempting to reconcile for his earlier years, take accountability for his actions and teach the world how hate can manifest and become deadly, just like it does in today's far-right and extremist hate groups. Kerry was unabashedly honest about his crimes, his moral injuries and his attempts to teach love instead of hate. His book series "Tabernacle of Hate" will be a legacy of Kerry's later years as a writer and motivational speaker against hate.

To celebrate this monumental milestone of 300 episodes, I have remastered my early interview with living legend and leading cult expert Janja Lalich.

For this instalment, I sat down to talk with Linda Pevac/Emma Stevens about her experiences being indoctrinated by her own next-door-neighbour and therapist. When Emma was at her lowest, and seeking therapy recommendations from her neighbourly psychologist, she had no idea what would happen next. A slow and methodical abuse of power led to Emma's imprisonment physically, psychologically and financially at the hands of a person who had been trained to do good, but used her knowledge of the mind to do the complete opposite. Emma' memoir "A Fire is Coming" is a timely, heartbreaking expose on the darkest sides of therapy.

Ep. 260 Abusive Ashrams with Mary Garden

TRIGGER WARNING - SENSITIVE MATERIAL WITHIN THIS EPISODE REGARDING SEXUAL ABUSE. PLEASE LISTEN WITH DISCRETION. In this episode, I speak to the author of "The Serpent Rising - A Journey of Spiritual Seduction". Mary Garden penned this memoir in regards to her experiences within India and beyond, spending time with various groups and eventually setlling by the Himilayan jungle to give her life to a man known as Swamiji. Little did Mary know at the time that this supposed enlightened being would take everything from Mary, leaving her to piece together her life long after she escaped his abusive clutches.

Ep. 245 Saving My Child From Liana Shanti Part 3

In this heartfelt episode I sit down to chat with Nirvana. Nirvana was on call with me from the garden area of a psychiatric hospital that her child has been admitted to, following the fallout of their involvement with online guru and alleged cult leader Liana Shanti. During our conversation, Nirvana offers some insight into making impossible decisions in impossible situations and how she navigated a situation that was meticulously designed to isolate her child from her family, widen the divide between loved ones and strengthen allegiances to the leader all at the same time. I hope any loved ones with people inside destructive and toxic groups can take strength from Nirvana's story and know that you are not alone.Thank you Nirvana.

Ep. 241 Mentally Diseased Miniseries Part 3 - Interview with Author Micah Losh

In this miniseries I talk with Micah Losh, author of the recently published memoir Mentally Diseased. During Micah's childhood in the Jehovah's Witnesses, he lost his father. This eternal spiritual relationship was then held hostage, with Micah being told that the only way to be reunited is to fully submit to the teachings of the Watchtower Organisation. Slipping into a deep depression, Micah received little to no support, and was actually blamed instead for his suffering, told it was his reluctance to conform to the JW's fully that caused this ill-mental health. This is Micah's troubling journey through a toxic religious group that almost claimed Micah's life. TW - talk of suicide.
