    Today I’m so honored to introduce you all to: Non-binary, queer and polyfragmented cult torture, mind control, and incest survivor, overcomer and whistleblower living with Dissociative Identity Disorder, award winning published - and passionate - writer and author - writing the books they needed as a struggling teen and couldn’t find, content creator, artist and visionary, entrepreneur, educator, and the brightest and most colorful light in this dark world: Cheryl Rainfield.

    A little bit about Cheryl and what you can expect to hear about in today’s episode:

    Born in Toronto and raised in what appeared on the outside to be an ordinary middle-class family, Cheryl endured horrors few can fathom - intergenerational, organized cult torture involving ritual abuse, mind control, trafficking, and relentless programming designed to break body, mind, and soul. Yet even as a child, Cheryl found cracks in the darkness. Writing and art became their first lifelines - silent workarounds that allowed truth to slip past the threats. Early on in teenage years, folks inside the personality system began sharing memories, starting with the “easier” incest memories. A school story written by one of those parts reached a teacher who believed. Police and child protective services were called. It was a first, fragile step toward light.

    But safety was not immediate. Cult-involved parents responded with a therapist who deliberately slowed healing. Torture intensified at night. Still, the system inside refused to stay silent. By 15, Cheryl chose their own therapist - an extraordinary cult torture survivor with DID themselves = who instantly recognized the switching, the co-fronting, and the blending. That early validation became a cornerstone.

    Cheryl lives with a polyfragmented dissociative identity - a complex structure born of extreme, calculated torture. Thousands of fragments form hubs, splits, and subgroups, some self-created for protection, others deliberately crafted by the cult.

    Escape was not one dramatic moment but a marathon of courage. Slowly, layer by layer, Cheryl reached safety. It took most of their life, but they did it—proving that no matter how long the road, freedom can come.

    Through it all, writing was both a sanctuary and a superpower. Cheryl began as soon as they could hold a pencil, pouring pain onto pages when speech was forbidden. In their late twenties and early thirties, they honed their craft and became the author they needed as a teen.

    But Cheryl’s impact stretches far beyond the page. On social media, through articles on their website (cherylrainfield.com), and in raw, compassionate videos and podcasts, they speak openly about cult torture, polyfragmented DID, mind control, and the path to healing.

    Today, Cheryl is more than a survivor. They are a warrior of the heart, a voice that refuses to be silenced, and a living proof that the most broken places can birth the most beautiful light. Their books, their words, their very existence whisper to every struggling soul: Healing is real. You can get safe. You can find joy again.

  • S6E57 | Brittany - Demons, Drugging, & Stolen Kids: The Nightmare That Broke the Ritual Abuse Cycle
    Apr 17 2026

    Today I’m honored to have back on the show once again: Ritual Abuse, mind control, and organized abuse survivor, overcomer, and whistleblower, devoted wife and loving mother, holistic health practitioner and nutritionist, aspiring writer and author, content creator, and an incredible woman on a mission to create a space where others feel safe enough to speak about their experiences, Brittany

    Under a sky still whispering with the tail of Halley’s Comet, Britney entered this world on July 29th, born straight into the heavy shadow of generational darkness. For generations on both sides of her family tree, cycles of ritual abuse, addiction, betrayal, narcissism, and silent female subjugation had woven themselves into the bloodline like unbreakable chains. Freemasonic connections ran deep, often protecting darkness instead of confronting it. Yet from the very beginning, something unbreakable stirred within her - a quiet fire that would one day burn through every shackle.

    From her earliest days, trauma etched itself into both her body and her spirit. Weekdays were a battle for survival in the home of her mother, her primary abuser, while weekends brought fleeting glimpses of safety and love with her grandparents. Recognized as gifted and talented, she was placed in advanced school programs, yet the warning signs of deeper harm went unheeded by those around her. When she dared to speak, her voice met only silence. In that silence, she learned the first hard lesson of survival. As she grew into adulthood and raised three beautiful children, she tried to dull the constant pain with pharmaceuticals and conventional medicine. Then Easter 2011 arrived as her holy crucible. Life-altering events shook her family to its foundation. In the aftermath, God moved in supernatural ways. Every addiction disappeared in an instant. Long-buried memories surfaced. And this time, true healing began.

    Today we will be diving into the court nightmare that took place during Easter 2011 - a harrowing season of spiritual warfare, drugging, false accusations, temporary loss of her children, and a justice system that initially seemed stacked against truth. Britney and her husband were arrested, their children removed for 36 days on fabricated grounds, and they were silenced with threats of permanent separation. Yet even in that darkest valley, miracles unfolded. They fought back with faith and defied the odds in a system that too often fails the innocent.

Wow...absolutely heartbreaking & terrifying. I lost all my kids, even when I was doing EVERYTHING right and the plan was return to home. Well due to my TBI I wasn't able to parent them but wanted and deserved to stay a constant in their lives (open adoption) but I was convinced to sign over my rights because I was told if I took it to trial and lost they would adopt them and I'd never see them again. Well of course DHS lied to me and used my TBI against me. My 2 younger kids were adopted out and my oldest went to the dad that never wanted her. I didn't know I was fooled until mediation (of course after the 60 days to recant my decision) when I was informed Oregon has no such thing as open adoption. On October 1st it will be 6 years since I had them and on Dec 12th will be 4 years since I have seen my babies. I said all that to say I definitely know DHS is corrupt beyond what anyone realizes. The statistics on missing children and child sex trafficking is sickening and astonishing. We need to speak up for all these innocent children. There needs to be so many more people like you willing to speak out, do the research and I'm sure at times deal with major scrutiny to be a voice for the voiceless. Bless you and thank you for what you do!

I'm so glad I stumbled on your podcast...
