In this heartfelt episode, Rachel sits down with Claire Headley, a former high-ranking executive in the Church of Scientology, to discuss her journey of healing and recovery after leaving the organization. Claire shares her experiences growing up in Scientology, the emotional toll of disconnection from family, and the challenges of navigating life transitions after escaping the cult.

Claire reflects on the unique struggles faced by those born into cultic systems and how the indoctrination impacts emotional expression and relationships. Together, Rachel and Claire explore the importance of recognizing and processing emotions, the significance of community support, and the chaotic beauty of life outside of Scientology.

As the president of the Aftermath Foundation, Claire emphasizes the organization's mission to support individuals leaving Scientology, providing essential resources for those who lack a support system.
