In this eye-opening episode, I talk about my time in a spiritual cult, which I left in 2021. I share why the community was a positive and beneficial experience for years, and how ‘love and light’ can turn dark - including how truth-infused spiritual concepts combined with love-bombing and charisma can be masking coercive control, manipulation and narcissistic abuse.
I reveal the red flags to look out for, along with questions to ask - to ensure that you are in a healthy community and not a harmful cult. Despite being less-than ten minutes long, this episode is a must-listen for anyone involved in spiritual groups, wellness communities, or those seeking a path of healing and even enlightenment. Whether you're curious, concerned, or reflecting on your own experiences, this episode offers clarity, validation, insight and hope.
