In this powerful episode, Rachel welcomes Jessi Hersey, a courageous author and cult survivor, to share her transformative journey from the Twin Flames Universe cult. Jessi opens up about her experiences within the group, detailing the emotional manipulation and love bombing that initially drew her in, only to later reveal the toxic underbelly of the organization. Her candid reflections on the mirroring exercise highlight how it contributed to her feelings of confusion and self-doubt, ultimately leading her to question her identity and sense of self.

As they delve deeper into Jessie's story, Rachel and Jessi discuss the profound impact of being part of a high-control group, particularly on the LGBTQ community. Jessie emphasizes the importance of recognizing red flags and understanding the psychological tactics employed by cult leaders to maintain control. Their conversation sheds light on the struggles faced by many who leave such organizations, including the challenges of rediscovering one's true self and rebuilding a life after trauma.

Now, as a resilient advocate for others, Jessi is using her voice to empower those who have experienced similar struggles. She shares her passion for writing, including her impactful book "Lit: My Journey Back to Faith," and her commitment to creating inclusive narratives in her upcoming works. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of cult dynamics and the journey toward healing and self-acceptance.
