For anybody out there who's listening, who is a Jehovah's Witness and doesn't want to be anymore, there's hope, and you know it may suck in the beginning.
Imagine growing up in a world where every aspect of your life is controlled by strict rules and unwavering beliefs. That's Heather's story. Raised as a devout Jehovah's Witness, she lived under the watchful eyes of a community she now calls a cult. But at 18, Heather made a life-altering decision to leave that world behind. In this heartfelt episode, Jake and J' sit down with Heather to explore her journey from rigid religious confines to the freedom of self-discovery.
Heather opens up about the mental health struggles she faced, including anxiety and depression, as she navigated her way out of the Jehovah's Witnesses.

Jake and J' add their own reflections, creating a rich dialogue that's both compassionate and thought-provoking.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with trauma or mental health issues, or those curious about the impact of religious extremism. Tune in to hear Heather's courageous story and find inspiration in her resilience and strength.
