This week I talk to Lauren about her experience in the group, and more specifically about how the staff talked about sex and relationships. Spoiler alert: it&apos;s super weird. Don&apos;t skip the intro because I make some important announcements about our new platform and some changes to the podcast you won&apos;t want to miss!

Survivor Story: Susanna Eller- The Insight Program, Augusta, Georgia

Cults and cult-like organizations are front and center in society today—as they should be. We are becoming more aware of the insidious abuse perpetrated by programs that are supposed to help young people in the Troubled Teen Industry. Combining true crime, cult recovery, and a lot of dry, dark humor, the On the Emmis podcast unpacks and unveils the inner workings of Enthusiastic Sobriety Programs created by Bob Meehan and other high control groups. We'll have bi-monthly episodes that dive deep into specific topics, interviews with professionals and activists or survivors telling their stories.
