Stories of claiming independence after leaving high-control groups & people.
Shelise Ann Sola— former devout Mormon. On C2C, her husband Jonathan and her, dive deep into the nuance of cultic organizations and coercive manipulators. C2C is not anti-religious, but anti-abuse, and sheds light in dark places to bring compassion, understanding and accountability. From FLDS Polygamy, Mormonism, Amish, Scientology, Extreme Christian Fundamentalism, Radical Islam, and Self Help, to the cults featured in popular TV docu-series, they interview survivors, advocates, authors, and more. Together they discover how their guests find independence and healing through awareness and true individual sovereignty.
HOST: Shelise Ann Sola
Raised in a small Mormon town in Utah, Shelise was sexually abused as a child by her father. Pushed to a breaking point at the age of 19 by ecclesiastical leaders, she left Mormonism behind to pursue a new life.
Through deconstructing her past, and extensive religious research, Shelise began to understand the patterns of control, manipulation, and abuse that dominate cults and high-demand groups. In 2022, she partnered with her husband to launch a YouTube channel committed to exposing dangerous cults and creating a safe space to amplify the voices of survivors.
By spreading awareness as a pillar of advocacy in the post-cult community, Shelise’s mission is to help survivors break out of the physical and psychological “Matrix” of their indoctrination and set a course for deconstruction. She hopes her message will inspire and educate others so they may also find compassion for survivors.
