In this episode, Naomi opens up about growing up in a cult and the emotional abuse she faced. The emotional abuse isn’t always visible but leaves deep, lasting scars. This episode explores its long-term effects, the journey to healing, and the importance of reclaiming your voice. It's an honest and raw conversation about surviving trauma and finding strength to move forward.

About the host, Naomi Sparks:

Naomi Sparks is a mom, wife, healing coach, and a cult survivor. She grew up in a tightly controlled religious cult in Northern California and spent years disconnected from her true self. Her work now centres around helping others reclaim their voice, heal generational pain, and step into wholeness without apology.

Quote of the episode:

"You are not broken; you are hurt. And now, you’re beginning to heal."

A few gentle questions from the episode to sit with:

• Have I ever been made to feel small for expressing how I feel?
• Do I struggle to trust myself?
• Have I been told I was too sensitive or crazy for reacting to something that hurt me?
• Do I fear conflict because I never felt safe growing up?
• When was the last time I felt fully safe being myself?
• Do you find yourself constantly apologising when you didn't do anything wrong?

Kind ways to start healing:

1. Start asking gentle questions about your feelings and experiences.

2. Journal, because writing down your memories and emotions can help you recognise patterns.

3. Seek support in therapy, coaching, or simply talking to someone you trust.

4. Learn to protect your peace and recognise your worth. Set boundaries.

5. Allow yourself grace as you process old wounds.
