In this episode, I chat with Lillia Tarawa about growing up in Gloriavale, a religious cult on the West Coast of the South Island in New Zealand. We discuss what it was like dealing with the oppression of a religious cult, some of the trauma she experienced growing up, how her family escaped the cult, the challenges of building a completely new life in the outside world, and the learnings she has had along her journey.  Lillia is now a sought after speaker whos Ted X talk has amassed over 10 million views online, she is a writer who helps people find their personal power, she authored the book 'Daughter Of Gloriavale', and she uses her story, learnings, and unique wisdom to help others find liberation, courage and purpose.  Lillia has been through so much in her life and yet she has managed to create a powerful and fulfilling new reality for herself. She shares a lot of valuable insights on happiness, dealing with trauma, finding your freedom, overcoming adversity, and living with a full expression of self.
