Write Your Story: The Antidote to the Cult Mentality Is Closer Than You Think

I watched the most recent cult document released on Netflix over the weekend called Trust Me: The False Prophet.

It is an absolutely disturbing and important show.

It’s the most recent in a long line of cult documentaries and crime podcasts I’ve watched over the years and I have noticed a pattern, a list of behaviors and dynamics that can coerce otherwise intelligent, successful, big-hearted people to do things they would otherwise find abhorrent. 

Most distressingly, none of us are immune. These tactics are common and effective. 

And they are deployed all around us, as we speak. 

So how do we stay in our power? On today’s episode, I share what I’ve learned from many years of working with writers and the powerful tool for accessing agency that is at your fingertips perpetually, no matter who you are.
