    1. Elizabeth

    In January 2022, two parents were arrested on the front lawn of their Toowoomba home and charged over the death of their eight-year-old daughter, Elizabeth Struhs. In the months that followed a disturbing story unraveled of a religious cult with extreme beliefs, rejecting medical assistance and placing their complete trust in divine healing. In a rare and deeply personal interview, Elizabeth’s sister opens up about how their mother’s unwavering devotion to the cult leader shaped their childhood. She shares chilling details of life inside the cult, the suffocating control, and blind faith.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today I again chat to my wise friend, Jemma (host of The Psychology Of Your 20s) about why everyone is so obsessed with the phrase, what it encapsulates and why it is still flawed.
