Summary
Content Warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions of sexual abuse, exploitation, and trauma. Please listen with care.
Frankie thought she was chosen. That she was being trained to be a healer, a mystic, a disciple of spiritual truth. But the truth was far more harrowing.
In Part 2 of her story, we follow Frankie deeper into Morningland—where obedience meant servitude, sexual violence was disguised as divine initiation, and isolation was absolute. What began as New Age mysticism spiraled into total control, lasting trauma, and the systematic dismantling of a family.
But through pain, there is power. And Frankie’s voice, now, is stronger than ever.
