Surviving Cult Abuse: Isami Daehn's Journey from Trauma to Advocacy

I know me, I know I try to have a positive, kind, loving approach about my story and online and try to be professional in that way at least.
What if the person who was supposed to protect you was the one causing the most harm? Isami Daehn's life story is a chilling testament to the horrors some endure within the walls of cults. Born in Japan and later moving to the US, Isami was raised by so-called missionaries who exploited church donations under false pretenses. But the worst of her suffering came from her own mother, who trafficked her to a piano teacher for years of sexual abuse.
In this episode of 'Speaking Up with Andrew Pledger', Isami bravely recounts her painful past, offering a raw and unfiltered look into the depths of her trauma. Yet, her story is not just one of suffering; it's also one of incredible resilience and strength. Today, Isami channels her experiences into advocacy, speaking at churches, schools, and various venues to raise awareness about trafficking and abuse.
She educates others on how to recognize the warning signs and supports survivors in their healing journeys. If you're seeking a powerful narrative of survival and recovery, this episode is a must-listen. Isami's journey underscores the importance of safe spaces for survivors to share their stories and find solace in community support.
