Cults: A Whistleblower's Survivor Story & Red Flag Warnings

Cults: A Whistleblower's Survivor Story & Red Flag Warnings

If you've ever said "I could never be conned into a cult!" Listen up! You may be more vulnerable than you think. After 12 years in a cult Canadian actor Sarah Edmondson fought her way out. Once she was out, along with others, knew exposing the group was the right thing to do. It wasn't easy but they did it. Today she shares her story: how she got started, why she stayed, and what made her "wake up" to the realities. She does this in her book "Scarred: The True Story of How I Escaped NXIVM" and on her podcast, "A Little Bit Culty," with her husband. She brings levity to the subject, helps identify red flags for a variety of high-control groups, and advocates for cult recovery.
