In this episode, our guest Luna Whitlock shares her compelling story of growing up immersed in the Jesus movement and navigating life within multiple high-control religious groups. Raised by a former hippie father who became deeply involved in fundamentalist and patriarchal teachings, Luna experienced the strict discipline, purity culture, and submission expected of women in these environments.

Her family’s journey took them through various cults, including one led by the notorious R.G. Stair, before Luna found the strength to leave with the support of her future husband. Now a solo parent, Luna reflects on her healing journey, reclaiming her voice, and raising her daughters with a sense of freedom and self-trust. This episode offers a raw and hopeful look at resilience, faith, and the path to personal liberation.
