I’d like to invite you on a personal journey - my journey - from the confines of a controlling cult to the warm embrace of a true community. 

The rabbit hole goes deeper this week as we navigate the impact of Scientology on family dynamics. With me, you'll get to know a family whose business was closely tied to my grandfather's teachings of the church, and witness how my upbringing was shaped by it. 

You'll also get a glimpse into my own unique family dynamic - from the tension stemming from my leaving Scientology, that led to my sister being excluded from our stepdad's funeral, to my mother's unconventional decision to marry her father-in-law. 

Well, buckle up, as I take you on this emotional rollercoaster ride through memories of a Disneyland trip, strong familial bonds, alcoholism, and ultimately, self-discovery.
