Do we truly have free will, or are our choices carefully shaped by the systems around us? Austin and Jessa unpack how high demand religions manipulate choice, creating the illusion of agency. They explore how shame, guilt, cultural norms, and community pressure shape decision-making. They examine the emotional costs of belonging, the subtle difference between emotional coercion and external control, and the journey of learning to trust yourself again. This episode invites you to question your choices, reclaim your personal values, and break free from ingrained religious expectations.
