What is life like living in a cult? In this captivating episode of She Has The Audacity, we are honored to delve into the extraordinary journey of transformation, resilience, and empowerment alongside the incredible Helen Zuman. Helen's steadfast belief in the transformative power of writing finds its embodiment in her own remarkable story. After her graduation from Harvard in 1999, Helen's path led her on a quest for community and impact, which took her through a cult experience, homesteading, and eventually to becoming a certified life coach, dedicated to helping others reclaim their voice through the written word.

Helen's story takes us back to her days living in a house of "Harvard misfits", where she experienced a sense of belonging and a way of living that became a pivotal part of her journey. Her aspiration to keep learning about homesteading and intentional communities guided her path, which unexpectedly led her to join a community that later turned out to be a cult. She candidly shares the process of her involvement, shedding light on the signs she missed and her eventual decision to leave.

Drawing on her experiences, Helen unveils her definition of a cult—a place that strips individuals of their self-trust, a description that highlights the complexity of her journey. She reflects on red flags she now recognizes in hindsight and opens up about her experience of being kicked out of the cult, returning, and ultimately finding her way out.

We delve into the cathartic process of writing her memoir and how it led Helen to a place of appreciation for her past, allowing her to regain her authority and expertise. From quitting what no longer serves her to establishing boundaries and coaching others, Helen's journey into life coaching is a testament to her determination to help others find their own paths to transformation.

We also chatted about:
