In this gripping episode of Pod Candy, Stacey, Dori, and forensic psychologist Dr. John Mayer break down the shocking world revealed in Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey, the documentary exposing the Fundamentalist LDS and its infamous prophet, Warren Jeffs. Pulling directly from survivor accounts and documentary footage, the hosts unpack how obedience, isolation, and religious manipulation were weaponized to create a closed, abuse-driven system hidden in plain sight.

Dr. John adds psychological insight on grooming, isolation, and what he calls “psychological murder”—the lifelong trauma carried by survivors, and the group discusses the heroes who exposed the sect, the reporters and investigators who refused to look away, and the maddening reality that thousands still follow Jeffs even as he serves a life sentence.

Emotional, disturbing, raw, and darkly funny at times, this episode shines a light on one of the most extreme modern cults—and why it still exists today.
