Summary
If you saw Ceci on social media, you probably wouldn’t guess or even imagine this mother of 6 and the reality that was her life before. That’s because Ceci Hendrickson grew up in a cult where it was all she knew. She was married, had children, but had nagging questions along the way about the constant changing rules and her reality inside a cult. Listen as Ceci shares her incredible story of breaking free from the cult, regaining custody of her children and building a life of freedom for herself and her family, and how she inspires other women to find freedom in their own lives, too
