This episode is sponsored by Better Help. You know the old adage; person A joins an organization, person B joins the same organization, persons A and B learn organization is a cult and, after getting married, decide to escape. Wait, is that not normal? Well, thankfully Sarah and Nippy aren’t the only ones who’ve experienced this. Gwenith Kikkawa (they/them) and Kevin Alexander (they/them) are multiple-cult survivors, meaning they’ve experienced culty horrors not just once (like a great majority of our guests), but numerous times. Now, the couple has channeled their experiences into art via playwriting, songwriting, and more, narrowing in on how one can reclaim identity after traumatic coercive thought control over several years.  #IGotOut - The Musical will be featured at the igotout.org produced Story Jam (taking place on October 21st, 2023) as the grand finale performance. The event as a whole is meant to provide a platform for #IGOTOUT stories from all sorts of survivors and advocates.  The venue, The Improv Shop in St. Louis offers an intimate, comedy club atmosphere and tickets will be limited and sold on a first come, first serve basis. Use this link to subscribe and to have the first option on tickets. This event is a collaboration with the RetreatCon, taking place on the same weekend with the local non-profit Tears of Eden.  Support debut production GoFundMe Follow #IGotOut - The Musical on Instagram Follow #IGotOut - The Musical on Facebook Follow #IGotOut - The Musical on YouTube Vocalist of Your Turn to Listen Aleyah-Erin Lennon Please note, this series includes details of sexual abuse.
