014 | Freedom And Belonging | Anna LeBaron

In this episode of The Couragecast, I had the privilege of having a conversation with Anna LeBaron. The story you are about to hear is real and raw. It is the true life story of a woman who embodies the definition of courage. I was honoured to be able to chat with Anna LeBaron about the healing that has taken place in her life, and the freedom she has experienced in sharing her story.    Anna is one of fifty children fathered by Ervil LeBaron, who spent years hiding from the FBI until he was eventually captured and sentenced to life in prison for murder. From his prison cell, he continued to control his thirteen sister wives, his children, and many of his followers who carried out murder on his behalf.    Abandoned as a child, Anna was forced to live in the most horrific conditions, endured years of child labour, and was sexually groomed to become a sister wife.    At the age of thirteen, she made the most courageous decision of her life and escaped from the violence of the cult. Now fatherless and motherless, she sought refuge with her sisters family. But her story does not end there. She experienced the trauma of multiple murders within her family and was devastated by severe loss.    In my conversation with Anna, was honest and transparent about the healing journey that she has been on for the past twenty years. This is truly the story of redemption and belonging.    To connect with Anna LeBaron, head over to www.thecouragecast.com
