In this episode we are joined by Daniella Mestyanek Young, one of the first of the third generation of the Children of God cult. Born in the Philppines to a 15 year old mother with a father older than her grandfather, she experienced an intense amount of cultural ambiguity from a very young age. After being excommunicated from the cult, the only world she had ever known at the age of 15, she put herself through school and then decided to join the military. As she climbed the ranks in the United States Army and made history for American women in combat, she realized that the two groups were not as different as one might think. Listen as we delve into the world of psychology, discuss the dangers of group think and ponder our similarities as humans regardless of our backgrounds or the trauma we've experienced.
