Not only do they bring on experts and courageous guests to share their own cult survival stories, Hoyt & Chele will also be peeling back all the messy layers, to expose the underbelly of how cults use indoctrination to kidnap the mind and hijack the soul.
Some of these stories are not for the faint of heart, but please join us as we reveal the terrifying truths about cultic relationships, how to avoid them, and how to heal from them.
Our hosts, experts and guests will be offering nuggets of wisdom on how to come out on the other side of any abusive relationship, not as a victim, but as a proud survivor with a story to tell.
Hoyt and Chele will be using their voices to debunk the myths about indoctrination and cultic activity—and you’ll probably find yourself saying WhaTheFlok?!

Nobody thinks that crime or cults or abuse is funny, but our hosts think it’s important for the healing process to pepper in organic comedy— or the material can get a bit dark and twisty. Laughter continues to be one of the best forms of medicine, and Hoyt and Chele have experienced a lot of healing through humor, as it can function as a healthy coping mechanism.
