My mother and father actually took each cent I earned for over a decade and coerced us into paying off their 5 private funding properties.
Last yr, after getting a superb authorized group and a Supreme Court listening to — and breaking freed from the cult I used to be born into — I bought your e book as a birthday current to myself (celebrating birthdays was forbidden within the cult).
My husband and I at the moment are working by means of the Barefoot Steps collectively and I’ve bought your e book for my siblings and their companions, in addition to the few shut buddies who haven’t shunned me after I escaped the cult. I’m actually completely happy for the primary time in my life and have management over my very own funds. Thank you.

Your mother and father utilized a non secular lens to justify their behaviour, however they have been actually motivated by greed, energy and management.

Standing by yourself two toes financially shall be a part of your restoration and it’ll assist rebuild your self-confidence. Welcome to the Barefoot “cult”!
