Can a bobblehead be more than just a collectible? We think so! Join us as we share the journey of how a Scientology hate video inspired a fundraising phenomenon, with the proceeds powering the life-changing work of the Aftermath Foundation. We celebrate the launch of our Leah Remini bobblehead, a project five years in the making and packed with challenges from getting the right likeness to navigating entertainment industry hurdles. Our SP Shop items, including Mike Rinder's bobblehead and SP bracelets, are more than quirky memorabilia—they're tools for supporting those looking to escape the clutches of Scientology.

Curious about the real state of Scientology's global reach? We introduce The See Org, an online initiative led by passionate super fans determined to shine a light on Scientology's dwindling presence worldwide. Explore our discussions on the most run-down and underutilized orgs, and discover the exciting contest for snapping the quirkiest Scientology locations. With prizes like limited edition Leah Remini bobbleheads at stake, we aim to unravel the myth of Scientology's rapid expansion and encourage more of you to participate in documenting these seldom-seen realities.

Our community's support is the heartbeat of our mission, and we're excited to bring you updates on volunteer opportunities and fundraising efforts. We discuss innovative ideas like gift cards and tech donations for those transitioning out of Scientology, and share reflections on the importance of humor in handling heavy topics. From the therapeutic value of jokes to the serious impact of sharing personal stories, we embrace our shared commitment to exposing the truths of Scientology while ensuring our work remains accessible and engaging.

Imagine embarking on a journey as a curious teenager only to find yourself ensnared in an organization that reshapes your life's path. Join me, Claire Headley, as I sit down with my dear friend Phil Jones, who candidly shares his fascinating journey with Scientology that began in Ontario, Canada. From attending a Narconon lecture to experiencing hypnotic group processing sessions, Phil opens up about the unexpected detour that led him from aspiring filmmaker to navigating the shadowy corridors of the Toronto Org. His story sheds light on the internal struggles and the pull of Scientology that redirected his life's ambitions.

The conversation takes a deeply personal turn as we explore the profound impact of Scientology on family dynamics, both in Phil's life and my own. I recount my brother's unintended conversion and his subsequent role within the Office of Special Affairs, and the heart-wrenching effects of the church's disconnection policy with my sister. Phil and I grapple with the historical entanglements of Scientology with law enforcement, offering a glimpse into the notorious Guardian's Office and the raids that ensued in Canada and the US. These revelations underscore the pervasive influence of Scientology and the emotional toll it exacts on familial bonds.

In the final segment, we delve into the experience of those navigating the upper levels of Scientology auditing and the arduous journey of exiting the church. We highlight the resilience required to rebuild lives after leaving and the courage to confront the manipulative grip of the organization. From descriptions of the overwhelming nature of higher-level auditing to sharing stories of families torn apart, this episode is a heartfelt examination of the continuous efforts to raise awareness and support those affected by Scientology's reach. Whether you're familiar with Scientology or seeking to understand its inner workings, this episode offers an introspective and compelling narrative.

Can we truly break free from the oppressive grip of Scientology and help others do the same? Join us as we tackle this monumental challenge head-on with my dear friend, Gary "Jackson" Morehead. Together, we've spent years fighting to expose the dangerous practices of the organization and provide essential support for those seeking to escape. This episode shines a light on our tireless efforts, the emotional toll of sharing our stories, and the crucial victories we've achieved, including shifting media perceptions and confronting the Church's legal threats.

Claire and Jackson share heartfelt personal anecdotes that underscore the dedication required to support former members of Scientology. From daily activities to extraordinary moments, such as reuniting a former member with their estranged family, we reveal the real and often arduous paths to freedom. Our mission is driven by responsibility and compassion, and we emphasize the importance of maintaining open lines of communication within this community to truly make a difference.

We also dive into the complexities of educating agencies and overcoming skepticism. Through credible information and personal testimonies, we've managed to shift perceptions and gain invaluable support from various entities. The episode highlights the strategic efforts of the Aftermath Foundation, the emotional journey of reconnecting families, and the persistence needed to challenge powerful cult leaders. By speaking out and sharing our truths, we aim to reclaim power and bring the abuses of Scientology to light, drawing parallels with other cults like NXIVM while addressing the unique challenges posed by Scientology's legal protections.
