Hawaiian Horror Story
The daughter of a Polish army colonel, young Dorota seemed to have it all. And yet a longing remained in her soul for something more. Leaving the life she knew behind on a whim and joining the cult "The Family International (formerly known as The Children of God)" at 18 years old seemed like a great way to escape, and for awhile it was. As her children grew older she saw the need to provide them with a proper education, and left the cult in order to pursue that dream. Listen as Dorota tells us about some of the most difficult moments in her life. Moments that she thought she may not survive. Find out what kept her going in the darkest of times and how she made it through horrific, bone chilling events.

Discom-boob-ulated
This week we are joined by Miko Hargett. Freelance writer, wellness advocate, content creator and triple survivor. Having faced many obstacles after leaving the cult she was born into, Miko lays out some of the life lessons that have been the most significant along the way. Losing both her ta-ta's to breast cancer seemed almost like nothing more than another journey to embark on after all the difficulties she'd already overcome. In a way it almost seemed easier. Telling someone you have PTSD and have been a victim of domestic abuse, and telling them you have cancer are met with very different responses in the world we live in today. Join us for some "Miko-isms", and a whole new perspective on cancer.
