Angel DeSantis: When communities turn into cults
Manage episode 318928305 series 3005815
You are NOT going to want to miss this episode with Angel DeSantis, an esteemed mindset and wellness practitioner, who was born into the Children of God Cult, now called The Family International, a cult with 14,000 members and communes in 180 countries that gained notoriety for its treatment of children. Angel talks to us about what it was like growing up in the cult and how it colored her belief system, how she eventually left the cult at age 23, and how she’s since rebuilt her belief system and mindset from the ground up after starting from scratch in the world outside the cult’s reaches. We then have a deep conversation about what constitutes a cult and when a community is in danger of becoming a cult. We also talk about how Angel has used her experience to help others rebuild their lives and rewire their brain through her own signature methodology called The Process.
