Shattered, Broken & Beautiful: Brooke Kekos on Leaving a Cult and Reclaiming Her Faith

Welcome to the Susan LoPresti Wellness: Mind, Body & Soul podcast — the go-to space for midlife and mature women who are ready to reclaim their health, boost their energy, and live long, vibrant, and purposeful lives. Each week, we dive deep into natural wellness, holistic healing, anti-aging strategies, and healthy lifestyle habits to help you feel your best — physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Whether your navigating menopause, working through chronic conditions, or simply wanting to age gracefully and intentionally, this show is your sanctuary for science-backed insights, powerful stories and sour-nourishing inspiration. So, if you are a woman over 40 or 50 looking to thrive in the next chapter of your life - you're in the right place. Brooke Kekos is a Trauma Healing Mentor and Rapid Transformational Therapist (RTT) who has devoted her work to helping women break free from the wounds of abuse, indoctrination, and toxic relationships. After leaving a religious cult in her thirties and healing from a series of narcissistic and abusive relationships, Brooke discovered a renewed, deeply personal connection with the Creator—one rooted in freedom, self-trust, and spiritual authenticity. Drawing from her own powerful transformation, Brooke now empowers female survivors of trauma to reclaim their lives through a holistic blend of RTT, NLP, and mind-body-soul integration. As an ex-Jehovah’s Witness who overcame religious abuse, domestic violence, and emotional manipulation, she brings unmatched empathy and insight to her clients and to the conversation around healing, spirituality, and personal sovereignty. Brooke is the author of The Grief Monster, a widely used therapeutic resource helping children process loss, and her memoir Shattered, Broken, & Beautiful – Losing My Religion and Finding Faith. Her book offers a raw, inspiring look into her escape from religious control and her journey toward identity, healing, and spiritual freedom. She is also the host of The Cult Diaries podcast, where she explores the complexities of religious trauma and the pathways to recovery.
