This week is PART TWO in a conversation I had with Emily Elizabeth Anderson about a topic covered once before, IBLP and the documentary created about it all. After growing up in a fundamentalist cult for 23 years and experiencing childhood domestic violence and sexual assault, Emily began her journey to recovery in 2015 after bravely entering a lawsuit formed against the cult and its leader, Bill Gothard.

She found writing to be a crucial outlet through her personal healing journey and she later turned her love for writing into her platform, Thriving Forward, educating on the realities of trauma survival and recovery, Emily’s focus has been to create a space for survivors to experience support, as well as find community with others who have experienced similar trauma Emily's story has since been featured on several media outlets including NPR and Amazon Prime's hit docuseries, "Shiny Happy People" and she shares it with us today.

This description was created in part by summarizing and rearranging Emily's official bio from her website.
