09. From Cult Life to Courage: Deborah Dockstader’s Unbreakable Spirit
In this deeply personal and emotional episode of The Chi Codes, I sit down with my mother, Deborah Dockstader, to share her extraordinary life story. From a challenging childhood to marrying my father and joining the FLDS cult, Deborah’s journey is one of relentless perseverance. Over the years, she raised nine children while navigating the heartache of my father taking a second wife—her own sister—and later, the grief of losing him at the early age of 53. Her strength has been tested time and again, including watching her children struggle with addiction, and one son’s 20-year incarceration. Now facing the final chapter of her life with liver failure, Deborah remains a symbol of unwavering resilience, never giving up despite the many obstacles she faced. This episode delves into her experiences, the lessons she’s learned, and how she continues to inspire those around her. Tune in for an intimate conversation about love, loss, and the enduring power of the human spirit.
