Episode 13 — The One Where We Close the Book

After 13 episodes and 11 powerful stories, we’ve arrived at the final chapter of Season One.

This series has been called groundbreaking.
It’s also been called the most important conversation on the internet right now.

In this episode, Robyn and Alyse reflect on what’s been revealed, remembered, and reclaimed—and what happens when we stop centering the so-called leader and start listening to the women who walked away.

We explore the patterns that emerged across every story—trauma bonding, isolation tactics, emotional whiplash, psychic manipulation, and manufactured loyalty—as well as the psychological architecture behind it all. Robyn brings forward insights from personality psychology and spiritual intelligence, and Alyse maps the energetics of trauma-based mind control and recovery.

We also name what Bewitched is—and what it is not.

This was never a cult exposé.
It was never about revenge.
It’s about clarity. Integrity. Discernment.
And the women who chose to tell the truth.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why we didn’t reveal Betty’s identity—and why that matters

  • The patterns of manipulation seen across all 11 stories

  • The contrast between the Dark Tetrad and the Light Triad

  • How personality traits like openness, agreeableness, and unhealed trauma made us vulnerable to harm

  • Why the decision to tell these stories now is a reclaiming of voice, power, and consciousness

  • What happens next—for us, and for the field of spiritual leadership

Robyn also shares the moment she knew it was time to speak.
And she closes the season with the words her dear friend Barb gives her every time she leaves the farm in Kansas:

“Now, voyager—sail thou forth to seek and find.”

~Walt Witman
