Bonus Sample: Growing Up in Scientology pt 2 (w/Sarah)

Part 2 of Matthew's conversation with Sarah. 

Sarah grew up in the Church of Scientology. But she also grew up in a small town. And, in a neurodiverse family. 

We come from so many places. Exploitative, hierarchical, hypocritical. Generous, tender, and odd. 

It is an honor to present this installment of Listeners' Stories. We're tickled to learn that Sarah's awakening from Scientology was quickened by that South Park episode. And we're humbled to learn about how her mother, despite being deeply enmeshed in a coercive cult, still managed to kindle both compassion and common sense in her children.
