Blown for Good
My dear friend Claire Headley and I trace the exact recruitment funnel that pulled me in at 27 — the "nutritional counselor," the personality test, the field auditor, the Bridge to Total Freedom sold like a sales roadmap. Then where it led: Gold Base, central marketing, and writing Scientology's official magazines while being told to hide who really runs it all.

Where We Meet
Christin Lilly and I talk about the recruitment that pulled me in at 27, what life inside Scientology's inner ranks actually looked like, and the moment I finally walked. Then: why coming back to myself wasn't one dramatic leap but a thousand small ones, with human connection as the vital throughline.

Blown for Good
Claire Headley and I are back at it! This time we're talking about the new Scientology children's books. Scientology isn’t just trying to recruit adults. They’re now marketing a “full library” for kids aged seven and up, and we’re not guessing about what it means because we can read exactly what they’re putting in front of children.

JC and I discuss why I was a prime target for Scientology, what happened when I was inside, and what led me to finally make the decision to leave. We also discuss what it's like to rebuild a life from scratch after what I call a "20-year coma."
