Ep 139: Cult Following - the incredible story of Bexy Cameron and her life in cults

Jul 08, 2021, 06:00 AM

It’s Selina here and this week I have a truly special episode.

Because this week you hear me diving deep into conversation with one of Vicki and my greatest friends, Bexy Cameron - a writer, creative director and film-maker who was raised in a notorious sex cult, escaped in her teens and then returned to cults as an adult to understand what leads people, like her parents, to join them in the first place. 

Her memoir, 'Cult Following', is out TODAY. It has been celebrated by The Guardian and The Times, who described it as ‘defiantly NOT a misery memoir’ and it is currently being turned into a film by Dakota Johnson. 

So in this special episode you’ll hear Bexy and me diving deep into conversation about:
 - Some of the pivotal moments in her life that lead her to where she is today. 
- An extraordinary and magical coincidence that profoundly shaped her life. 
- What has helped her rise up out of such a dark childhood and create such a truly happy life. 
- And what it was like finding her voice so that she could tell her story. 

I hope you enjoy this moving episode and Bexy’s story. And if you want to read Bexy’s book, you can order it here.

Lots of love, 

Selina
