The Secret Life of Leaving A Cult

Getting Happy Again is about creating a new path for myself after realizing that I had been deep inside a religious cult.

My dream has always been to go back to school. I've been accepted to one of the Top 40 universities in the world and will begin my undergrad this fall. Oh and side note, I was rejected from 20 other schools. But you only need one acceptance, am I right?

Getting Happy Again is the journey we must take when we gather the courage to opt out of something that's no longer serving us and begin living life on our own terms.

When we make any new change — whether it’s changing careers, moving to a new city, getting a divorce, quitting social media, choosing to be sober, going back to school as an adult or walking away from a high-control group — there’s a sense that there’s no one to talk to about this new way of life and it feels so easy to be misunderstood.

As Lady Whistleblower, I’ll explore what it means to recover from a lifetime inside a highly controlled patriarchal system based on fundamental Christian beliefs. I have so much to learn and un-learn.

Let’s talk about spirituality, going back to school as a non-traditional student (that just means I’m not your usual 19-year old entering university/college for the first time), relationships and marriage, friendships; everything and anything to do with cult recovery.
