Trust Me: Cults, Extreme Belief, and Manipulation

Michelle Dowd, Part 2 - From the Mountain to the Hospital to Forging Her Own Path


Listen Later

In part two of their conversation with Michelle Dowd, Lola & Meagan dig into when Michelle and her family moved to the mountain, why discomfort was considered a virtue, getting sick with an autoimmune disease at the age of ten, spending many months in the hospital away from The Field and her family, what happened after her cult leader grandfather passed away, and how she left the group.
