Show Notes

In this powerful episode of Awakening Conversations, Kate and Amanda explore a topic that is both confronting and essential in today’s awakening world: cults, guru culture, and the manipulation of spiritual seekers.

Drawing on real-life stories from the Bewitched podcast series and the NXIVM cult exposé, they unpack how even highly intelligent, trauma-informed, spiritually gifted women can find themselves entangled in coercive group dynamics. They explore the tactics used by modern-day cult leaders such as love bombing, public shaming, isolation, information control, and how these behaviors often mirror broader societal systems that thrive on fear, disempowerment, and division.

More than just a breakdown of cult behavior, this episode is a deep inquiry into how we give our power away, why we’re so susceptible during spiritual awakenings, and how to reclaim sovereignty by turning inward. You’ll learn about the BITE model, how societal structures echo cult tactics, and how healing your inner child and trusting your intuition is the antidote to manipulation.

This episode is for anyone who has ever doubted their intuition, questioned a leader, or wondered if they were “the only one” feeling off. It’s also a vital conversation about discernment, collective healing, and the radical act of reclaiming your emotional energy.
