To start off Claude and Jan continue and clarify the previous discussion on minor attraction, which then turns to the meat of the episode where Claude and Jan discuss how important it is to create an environment where children are able to speak up and ask questions, because if they aren't asking them to you, they're getting answers from someone else.

[Content Warning]: Religious cult, physical abuse, sexual abuse, psychological abuse, abortion, self-harm
Today, Jan is again joined by Jennifer Redcay to finish her story of cult abuse and escape. Said abuse turned sexual when the cult leader claimed Jennifer’s "fantasies about him" required "acting out" to purge demons. For nearly two years, he coerced her into increasingly degrading acts—always framed as "spiritual cleansing." When she became pregnant, he froze her out for three days, then ordered her to get an abortion. His wife took her across state lines to a clinic, where Jennifer endured the procedure alone. That trauma became a turning point. "How could God want this?" she asked herself. Small rebellions followed: a customer’s prayer about God’s love ("Greater is He that is in you") clashed with the cult’s teachings. Finding a book on deliverance ministries, thinking it would help reaffirm her belief in the cult, turned out to be literature denouncing the practice and exposed the leader’s identical tactics. After a couple of failed attempts and a discussion with fellow christians at her waitressing job, she finally fled. Now 17 years free, Jennifer shares how forgiveness (of herself and her abusers) and motherhood—adopting five children from trauma—rebuilt her life. "Healing is like an onion," she says. "You peel layers over years."

Jackie’s story is one of profound resilience and transformation. After enduring trauma and sexual abuse, she embarked on a journey to find effective ways to manage stress, anxiety, and PTSD.

Jackie is here to share her profound journey of resilience and transformation after experiencing childhood trauma. Jackie and Jan discuss the importance of holistic healing approaches, including emotional freedom techniques (EFT) and neurotechnology, in processing trauma and creating a safe environment for healing.

Today, Jan is joined again by Kelly Justus, survivor and founder of The Justus Project. In part two the discussion touches on the impact of trauma on individuals and the importance of creating a safe and supportive environment for survivors to come forward. The Justus Project and Brave Step are mentioned as organizations that provide support and resources for survivors. The importance of educating and healing adults, not just children, is emphasized. The idea of creating a production company focused on sexual assault stories is mentioned, with a focus on telling the aftermath stories and addressing the mental and health effects of assault. In conclusion, there is a need for cultural change and the power of survivors' voices in creating that change.
