Summer bonus: Sarah & Nippy on Blown for Good: Scientology Exposed

In this summer bonus episode, we joined Claire Headley on Blown for Good: Scientology Exposed for a wide-ranging conversation about our new book, A Little Bit Culty: Navigating Cults, Control and Coercion, and the patterns that connect Scientology to other systems of power and control. We talked about love bombing, coercion, life after leaving, healing from high-control groups, and why learning to spot the red flags can save you from a lifetime of “but I thought this was normal?” nonsense.
