How To Outsmart A Volatile Narcissist with Dave Asprey | Part 2

Dr. Phil talks with Michelle Dowd, who escaped an apocalyptic survivalist cult, on her journey from control and isolation to resilience, critical thinking, and freedom. Raised in an apocalyptic survivalist cult known as “the field,” Michelle Dowd’s childhood was defined by isolation, strict doctrine, and rigorous survival training. In this powerful conversation with Dr. Phil, Michelle shares how she learned to forage, endure harsh conditions, and navigate life under the control of her grandfather, the self-proclaimed prophet preparing for Armageddon. She opens up about the emotional cost of being separated from her parents, the contradictions that sparked her critical thinking, and the secret journaling that became her lifeline. Now an author and educator, Michelle reflects on how her survival skills extend beyond the wilderness into navigating modern life, challenging beliefs, and empowering the next generation to think critically.
