Tahiry was in a long-distance relationship with a spiritual leader, but it wasn't until they moved in with each other that Tahiry started learning about his controlling and abusive behavior. As Tahiry did her best to cope with the abuse, she uncovered that her partner was also a sexual predator, using her as cover as he assaulted women in the spiritual community.

It's a story of facades, being used, spiritual abuse, blame shifting, putdowns, sexual assault, addiction, hierarchies, predatory behavior, ptsd, and guilt by association.

*** CONTENT WARNING - This episode discusses physical abuse and sexual assault. ***
