Summary

Fitness Instructor/Trainer, Lauren Drain Kagan comes onto the show to discuss what it's like growing up in (and later escaping!) a religious cult and how it inspired her to write her New York Times best-selling memoir, Banished: Surviving My Years in the Westboro Baptist Church. Amanda Cerny and Sommer Ray are fascinated as Lauren reveals how she turned her life from former-cult member to bikini competitor who met her husband on match.com. Amanda and Sommer enlist Lauren's help to solve a love-tormented listener trying to make an on-again/off-again relationship work. Plus, Lauren casually hints at what it's like to be stalked by an ex. http://grove.co/HONEY - place an order of $20 or more, you will get FREE FIVE PIECE Cleaning Set from Mrs. Meyer and Grove http://talkspace.com/HONEY - get $65 off your first month!
