Project Hope Podcast

The Project Hope Podcast is for families and friends with a loved one in a group of high demand / high control. Our aim is to provide hope through the stories of people who have both left such groups, as well as families, partners and friends who have struggled with the loss or distance of a loved one to such a group. We interview experts on psychological and social patterns that are found within these dynamics, as well as families and survivors. New podcast episodes are released on Wednesdays. Jennifer is the host and owner of Jennifer French. She has an advanced degree in coercive control and serves clients across the world. She is also a research associate at Salford University, England. Please note, Jennifer is not a licensed psychotherapist and is not licensed by any California Regulatory Agency. Jennifer has first hand experience having been in a cult for 11 years. This deeply affected her relationships outside of the organization and she now hopes to help those who are suffering with the issues and considerations that arise from being distanced from loved ones.

    S2 Ep. 37: Robert Menna (P2) on Ramtha's School Of Enlightenment, his daughter’s involvement, and his role as an 'Influence Analyst'.

Bob is also a former international model with a career spanning over 25 years in addition to being Director of Elite Men, a division of Elite Model Management in NYC for several years.

Some of you may be familiar with JZ Knight, who claimed to channel Ramtha, a 35,000 year old enlightened being. Bob’s daughter, was involved with this group for over 10 years. From the time of his daughter’s involvement, and continuing on, Bob as a non- academic has been involved in researching various aspects of the cultic phenomena. With his deep dive into the field, drawing on his own experiences and that of his daughter and others he has been able to assist others, including families and former members, in a role that he refers to as an Influence Analyst. In this position, he helps individuals gain insight into the influence at work in their particular situation, and how those influences may be affecting them. *Bob does selective pro-bono work. Bob's personal interests besides cultic research include people watching, swimming, tennis, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, tap dancing, waveski surfing and roller skating.

    S2 Ep. 35: Jospeh Kelly & Patrick Ryan (P2) on their histories that brought them to Cult Mediation

    Joseph Kelly & Patrick Ryan have given decades of their life to helping families and loved ones who find themselves in an unhealthy group of high control / high demand. They are both internationally renowned cult mediation specialists, and have also been known as cult intervention specialists, thought reform consultants, or exit counselors. Joseph F. Kelly, a graduate of Temple University (focus in religion), spent 14 years in two different eastern meditation groups (TM, International Society of Divine Love). He contributed a chapter to Captive Hearts, Captive Minds. He was (2010-2014) the News Desk Editor of ICSA Today. Patrick Ryan (BA in Interdisciplinary Studies, Maharishi International University) is the founder and former head of TM-Ex, the organization of one-time members of the Transcendental Meditation (TM) movement. He is also one of the AFF associates whose advice to law enforcement officials might, had it been heeded, have helped avert the Waco debacle. He also shares part of his experience in “Recovery from Cults”, edited by Michael D. Langone. Both Pat and Joe have facilitated many ICSA workshops for ex-members and families (1996-2018). They both lecture extensively on cult-related topics and have also contributed to writing about related topics amidst which is their co-authoring of “Ethical Standards for Thought Reform Consultants,” published in ICSA’s Cultic Studies Journal. Check out the Cult Mediation website at: cultmediation.com I also came across a VICE article which is where the social media post images came from: March 2021 These Former Cult Members Now Help Others Escape: https://www.vice.com/en/article/3anxnw/former-cult-members-help-escape-exit-counsellor-intervention-conspiracy-theories Our podcast features a beautiful song by Jaia Suri called, “Leaving the Cult”.

    S2 Ep. 31: Ryan Hernandez (P3) on his Catholic sect as an End Times Cult & “The Truth That Heals Podcast”.

    In 2004, Ryan Hernandez joined a Catholic religious community to live a life of prayer, education, and charity. He was just 17 at the time that he left his life in Los Angeles to follow "The Call" and to follow Christ. Many years later, he would refer to this Catholic sect as an End Times Cult. While in the group he had been a devoted follower and loyal member but there was also abuse and brainwashing taking place and it was this abuse and growing shame that became an unbearable burden for him to bear. After years of bullying, physical abuse, humiliation, psychological abuse, and even solitary confinement, Ryan decided to leave the community. Outside of the cult, Ryan found that his mind was still under their influence and negativity. After years of being brainwashed that life outside of the community would mean being cursed by God Ryan found himself in deep depression, loneliness, and shame. With the help of some true friends and a supportive family, Ryan was able to find the healing that he needed and to free himself from the cultic influences that had entrapped him. Ryan is now working to bring awareness to cult abuse and other important issues through his project called "The Truth That Heals Podcast". It is available on major podcast platforms.
