Ep. 232 The Narcissist Apocalypse - In Conversation with Brandon Chadwick Part 1 Feb 17, 2023

Show notes

In this episode I chat with Brandon Chadwick, host of the Narcissist Apocalypse podcast. From Brandon's website:
"In 2019, I began interviewing survivors of narcissistic and domestic abuse on my podcast, Narcissist Apocalypse. In that time, I’ve published over 250 survivor stories, interviewed countless experts in the field, from therapists, to lawyers, to domestic violence advocates and agencies. My philosophy for the podcast was to be different, and to me, that meant to be real, not clinical.
My goal was to help survivors tell/validate their own stories, but to also validate and teach other survivors through those stories. And a crazy thing happened, it worked.Narcissist Apocalypse has grown beyond my wildest dreams. It now reaches upwards of 10,000 listeners an episode and it keeps growing every day. If you read the reviews on Apple Podcasts, you can see just how much of an impact the show has made in the lives of our community members. Yes, we are now a community."

Ep. 231 Losing More Than Faith Miniseries Part 3 - Jehovah's Witnesses with Daniel O'Brien Feb 12, 2023

Show notes

When being disfellowshipped from the Jehovah's Witnesses, individuals often experience being completely closed off and shunned from their own congregation. Often times, in high demand religious groups such as the JW's, this community is all the individual has ever known, including family and close friends. The strain placed on marriages adds an extra layer of turmoil. In Daniel O'Brien's case, the relationship with his young sons would forever changed. In this episode, Daniel unpacks hypocrisy in the organisation, shunning and life after Jehovah. We also discuss Daniel's role in the world as a history teacher who implements critical thinking assignments into the classroom.

Stolen Youth: Inside the Cult at Sarah Lawrence is an upcoming HULU documentary directed by Zachary Heinzerling. A group of unsuspecting young adults, during a period of transition and vulnerability, were severely manipulated by the abusive, controlling and abhorrent cult leader Larry Ray. Posing at first as a father-figure, Ray used extreme methods of coercive control on his victims. Ray now sits in jail, sentenced to 60 years for crimes including trafficking and racketeering. Here is director Zach to talk us through the process of making this HULU documentary which drops on February 9th.

In this instalment, I talk with former Jehovah's Witness turned activist and author Natalie Grand about her experiences and journey from leaving the organisation to publishing her award winning graphic novel "Cult Girls".
"Cult Girls based on true events, telling the story of Talia and her friends as they struggle with growing suspicions that their faith is a patriarchal religious cult. It's a story of tremendous courage and female empowerment as Talia as her friends successfully free themselves. The story is told through a feminist lens with cautionary humor."
