Lisa Kohn - Addicted to The MessiahDivorced: Unification Church (The Moonies)CW: Suicidality; abandonment; substance addictionMy guest today was a speaker at the very first Conference on Religious Trauma in 2021. Lisa Kohn is a Unification Church Second Gen, and she is the award-winning author of TO THE MOON AND BACK: A CHILDHOOD UNDER THE INFLUENCE. Lisa understands what it’s like to be raised in – and torn between – two worlds. In fact, the best seats Lisa ever had at Madison Square Garden were at her mother’s mass wedding; and the best cocaine she ever had was from her father’s friend, the judge. FIND LISA:https://www.lisakohnwrites.com/IG: @lisakohnwritesLisa’s book excerpt: https://www.lisakohnwrites.com/to-the-moon-and-back/Information on the Unification Church (aka The Moonies) https://www.insider.com/who-are-the-moonies-and-what-is-the-unification-church-2022-7https://www.poconorecord.com/story/news/2023/02/26/unification-church-and-rod-of-iron-ministries-what-sets-them-apart/69933145007/ https://www.unificationcanada.org/en/about-us/Support this podcast on Patreon (starting as low as $2/month) and get access to bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/janiceselbie Thanks to my newest patrons: Joel and Marie.
