De-culting is a very important skill that I hope to help people with, God help me. lol
I was in several cults myself, and I’m sure you have been at one time or another too. Whether they were in the spiritual, health, or other arenas everyone’s life has been particularly touched by cult culture.
It requires a special sauce to extricate from a cult, and we will unpack what that is. I’m counting on the chat to share their cult experiences, and I’m thinking this might turn into a series since a deep dive into some of the cults in particular would be useful.
We will talk about the scale of cults, the harm participation in them brings, and look at the solutions in the same place I always find them.
PS Because I name the episodes of BoFA with verbs I had to invent a word, “de-cult”. Here’s what AI says the meaning of it is. It gets me, which I know is not necessarily a good thing. LOL
From AI:
“The term "de-cult" is not a standard or widely recognized word in English. However, based on the context provided, it may be interpreted as a conceptual opposite of "cult," potentially referring to the process of disengaging from or dismantling a group or movement characterized by intense devotion, isolation, and control.”

I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and business coach. My calling has truly been a life-or-death matter. After a decade as a corporate VP in my family’s firm, eight transformative trips to India, and a three-year battle with cancer nearly 25 years ago, I turned to archetypes and deep deprogramming work to save my life.
Despite doing everything wrong based on limited health knowledge, I accessed the hidden inner roots of what was keeping me sick, stuck, and unconscious. Letting those patterns go changed everything. I went from dying to living almost overnight.
Today, I help people who love truth more than their beliefs—people who want to serve with their life’s work and walk their Hero’s Journey—to deprogram the beast system from within and stop unconsciously feeding the forces that harm us.
I host the King Hero interview series, where I spotlight leaders, entrepreneurs, movement makers, and lovers of freedom who are carving new paths in a world that desperately needs them. And I also share my own voice, insights, and stories through my new solo podcast, Beth of Fresh Air.
