Episode notes

Danny Rensch stopped being a pawn in his family's cult and broke free to rebuild his life and found Chess.com. He and Rainn unpack what life is like growing up in a cult, the painful process of leaving, and the long journey of healing and reconnecting with his mother. Together they explore resilience, forgiveness, and how meaning can be rebuilt after spiritual manipulation and control.
