Lauren Hough (@laurenthehough) joins Kieryn and Eve to talk about her brilliant debut book, Leaving Isn't The Hardest Thing (April 2021), a collection of essays about what life has been like after being raised in the cult group Children of God. Spanning her time in the air force to working in DC nightlife to her viral essay about being the cable guy, Lauren's essays focus on learning to live, to thrive, after a stolen childhood and refuse the voyeurism that cult survivors are often subjected to.
