Oh fuck... where to begin?  Feels like I've lived at least half-a-dozen different lifetimes so far in this go round!   Life-long horse addict, "born again" at age 14 in the 1970's Jesus movement (led to Jesus by Keith Green), moved into his cult-commune Last Days Ministries at age 17, "arranged marriage" at 19, left the cult-commune physically at age 26 but didn't start to leave mentally/emotionally for at least another decade.  Five fantastic kids along the way.  Started a business (Premier Pet Products), grew and sold it 20 years later.  Finally fully jettisoned the religious stuff in my 40's, had fun making up for some of those lost teenage years, remarried a great guy, reconnected with my horse addiction, studied and earned certification in equine behavior.  Oh - and most recently I was ambushed by my best friend Tracey into doing a podcast.  :)

Former extreme Christian cult member and local leader who raised five precious kids in a culture of spiritual indoctrination and abuse…and now wants to set the record straight.
