THG Episode 130 | Children of the Harvest: My Story of Cult Survival with Daniella Mestyanek Young

Join us on this gripping episode as we welcome Daniella Mestyanek Young, an author, and scholar who shares her harrowing story of growing up in a religious sex cult called the Children of God. Listen in as Daniella details the history of the cult, their recruitment methods, and the difficulties she faced in escaping this group that promised a better life. Raised in this cult, Daniella opens up about her childhood experiences in the controlling purity culture of the cult, and how it led to child trafficking and the production of cult childhood entertainment videos. Her story is a profound testament to survival and resilience.

We also, delve into Daniella's military career and draw striking parallels between the experience of joining a cult and basic military training. As Daniella recounts her experience of being excommunicated from the cult at 15, and how that led her to sign up for the army for a sense of belonging, the conversation turns to the military's recruitment crisis, the forever war, and the treatment of veterans. We explore how the military, much like cults, offers a sense of belonging and superiority over others, and how such a mindset can lead to immense pressure and repression.

Finally, we examine the healing process after escaping a cult and the importance of owning one's story. Daniella shares her experience with life-saving therapy, her journey of self-discovery, and the empowering process of writing her story. Listen in as we discuss the Ferris Doctrine and how it has been used to protect the military from lawsuits regarding rape culture, the parallels between cults and the military, and how cults use programming and influence for power and control. This episode is not just a recounting of Daniella's past, but a powerful exploration of healing, empowerment, and personal identity.
