Stories of claiming independence after leaving high-control groups.
Hi! I’m Shelise Ann Sola— former devout Mormon. On C2C we dive deep into the nuance of culty organizations. From Mormonism, FLDS, Scientology, and Jehovah's Witnesses, to cults featured in popular docu-series, I interview cult experts, survivors, advocates, therapists, way-showers, authors, and more, to uncover how they find independence and healing through awareness and true individual sovereignty.

What caused the "p*rn panic"? Can we use sexual media for education and what is normal when it comes to viewing it?
