Claire Ashman is a 4-time TEDx speaker. She spent the first 36 years of her life in two different strict religious movements. After challenging the leaders’ authority through a series of letters, Claire and her family were evicted from the latter group. Hers is a story of strength, resilience and courage. Claire gives us her background and talks about the start of when she got involved in the cult. She goes on to talk about why people join these things, and tells us about day-to-day living in it. Finally, she talks about seeing the reality of her situation and her process of breaking free from it all. Claire was an amazing guest with an equally amazing story to tell.
