This week I spoke with a new guest, Nicole Celeste, whom is a 2nd generation ex-moonie who has since left the folds of the Unification Church. We speak on a range of topics from growing up in the Unification Church, deconstruction and healing through creativity and artwork, the history of Madison Square Garden 1982 mass wedding, Sean Moon in Japan, sexual health and development, dismantling purity culture, child abuse, unraveling from cultic control and so much more.
