In this episode of the Cult Vault podcast, host Kacey speaks with Cait West about her memoir, 'Rift,' which explores her experiences growing up in a Christian patriarchal environment. The conversation delves into the impact of Christian patriarchy on identity, the complexities of homeschooling, the effects of purity culture, and the concept of stay-at-home daughters. Cait shares her journey of breaking away from these constraints and the importance of sharing stories to validate others' experiences. In this conversation, Cait shares her experiences growing up in a controlling environment influenced by Christian patriarchy and propaganda. She discusses the psychological impact of coercive control, the struggle for personal agency, and the journey from survival to thriving after leaving that environment. Cait emphasises the importance of community, self-empowerment, and the ongoing process of healing and rebuilding one's life.
