Asia’s life was carefully orchestrated from birth. Raised in the LDS/Mormon church, she endured drug abuse, ritual trauma, and unimaginable hardship. At 36, therapy unlocked repressed memories, revealing the truths of her induction into an underground cult at just five years old.
By 21, her marriage had been arranged as part of the manipulation, and defying it came at a devastating cost. In this episode, Asia shares the chilling realities of her past, the tactics used to recruit outsiders, her path to forgiveness, and where she stands with God today.
