Podcast Overview

At some point, hating yourself and reacting to life with trauma responses, addiction and codependency become unbearable, plus it's not a cute lewk. It can often feel like your neuroses control you and not the other way around. Around here, we believe, like Carl Jung, that our neurosis is our psyche begging us to heal. And so we shall. In that spirit, The Serving Cult podcast provides your weekly dose of no-nonsense and irreverent insights, dark humor, truths, tools and techniques for addressing CPTSD, your particular trauma responses, codependency, grief and loss, and all things recovery to become our most true, self-confident and authentic selves - or as I would put it - an Advanced Bitch. I'm a therapist and coach, but most importantly a bitch who has spent over 30 years in therapy and recovery trying to heal my broken self. I will be dissecting complex issues through both professional lenses and personal anecdotes through answering questions of anyone still suffering. Look, I was the brokenest bitch you ever did meet and I have (mostly) learned to live without self-hate, regret and resentment.. The biggest surprise of all of this Advanced Personal Growth Work has been finding that on the other side of CPTSD is a lot of laughing and magic. Turns out magic is real and life requires fairy dust. Welcome, Bitch.

57. The Deep End: #ReleaseTheFootage

<p>And now we’ve got private investigators calling it a cult and Teal's shocked—like, really shocked. Welcome back to another episode of Serving Cult! This week we conclude our deep dive into <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt19387554/">The Deep End!</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Picture this: Teal blames Blake and her manager for the investigator's cult accusations. Classic deflection. Meanwhile, Juliana gets gaslit by Teal and is used as a pawn to bash her. And when Juliana and Blake start packing to leave, Teal completely loses it. It's a full-on meltdown. Nanny Nanny BooBoo follow your bliss, anyone?</p> <p> </p> <p>#ReleaseTheFootage becomes our battle cry as Teal claims the documentarians tricked her and manipulated the footage. As we close out this episode and the podcast, for now, sharing all the things we've learned from watching horrific cult docs like how every cult always leads back to money - typical and how the Sunk Cost Fallacy is so so real. </p> <p> </p> <p>See you on the other side of Trents deployement, bitches!

56. The Deep End: The Hilton Has Holy Water

<p dir="ltr">And now we’re waterboarding people and fake channeling spirits, are we? Welcome back to another episode of Serving Cult! This week we are continuing to dissect the doc, <a href= "https://www.imdb.com/title/tt19387554/">The Deep End</a>; it just gets weirder. </p> <p><strong><br /> <br /></strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Prepare for the weirdest role-play you've ever seen, where asking a polite question might get you "inhabited" by a spirit. Molly the investigator steals the show and should be in every cult doc—she spots all the red flags. Oh, and any time Juliana expresses empathy, it's a problem. Is it the Teal Swan cult or the Jedi order? You decide. One thing's for sure—you’re not ready for this level of fame, and neither is she.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong><em>Imagine overcoming trauma with ease and support!

55. The Deep End: I Was So Washed

<p dir="ltr"><strong>Trigger Warning: This episode discusses topics including emotional manipulation, psychological abuse, and suicidal ideation. Listener discretion is advised.</strong></p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr">We couldn't resist diving back into <a href= "https://www.imdb.com/title/tt19387554/">The Deep End</a> for another episode of Serving Cult. This time, we're continuing to unravel the chaotic universe of Teal Swan—spiritual guru aka raging narcissist.</p> <p><strong><br /> <br /></strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Teal is furious about her haters and thinks they’re the ones stopping her from making more money and not her awful bedside manner. With ambitions to build the biggest company ever, she's got a crazy-eyed determination that's equally terrifying and somewhat impressive. From manipulating retreat attendees to hiring a tennis coach, Teal uses her sociopathic tendencies with Patrick Bateman-like precision to reel in followers.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Join us as we talk about our aspirations to become like the grandma private investigator sporting a Rolodex and how we could be cult consultants if we really wanted to! </p> <p><strong><br /> <br /></strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Imagine overcoming trauma with ease and support!
