All The Wiser

54. Starting over after Scientology


Listen Later

At a ranch for the kids of Scientology’s most powerful members, you don’t get to see your parents for more than a few hours a week. In the military-style dormitories, children spend their days pulling weeds, hauling rocks, and evenings in Scientology studies. As the niece of Scientology’s most powerful leader, David Miscavige, Jenna didn’t know things like birthday parties or family vacations. She knew fear, work, and longing. But when you view people from the outside world as scary, how do you leave the only life you’ve ever known? And what do you find on the other side?


Brought to you by All The Happier: we took the inspirational lessons and wisdom from All The Wiser Podcast and created a course… All The Happier - to help you live with less stress and more meaning, connection and joy! Enrollment is now OPEN!


In this episode we talk about:

  • Growing up in the isolated world of Scientology
  • What really went on at the ranch.

  • Re-entry into the world outside of Scientology
