Hey y'all!
This week, I begin my personal story of my life and how I was able to heal from the trauma and abuse of my past. There are tidbits of my mother's story as well, as my story and hers are very much intertwined. We'll talk about what makes a cult, as I explain what life was like growing up in the fundamentalist cult my family belonged to. This answers the question of where I came from, and what made me who I am today; a proud pagan minister and southern witch unashamed of my path and with a life's goal to facilitate healing in hurting people.
Next week, the story will continue!
Content Warning: Rape, Incest, Abuse - This is not a pleasant story y'all, but it's MY story, and someone needs to hear it. Because of the topics covered, I've marked this explicit.
