424. From Cult Survivor to Empowerment Coach

Happiness Solved with Sandee Sgarlata. In this episode, Sandee interviews Lydia Knight. In this conversation, Lydia Knight shares her profound journey from growing up in a cult led by her grandmother to becoming a successful author and executive coach. She discusses the impact of her upbringing on her perception of reality, the process of breaking free from fear-based narratives, and the importance of rewriting personal stories. Lydia emphasizes the significance of thought patterns in shaping actions and outcomes, and how celebrating small victories can lead to personal growth. The discussion also touches on family dynamics, healing relationships, and the power of perception in navigating life's challenges. Guest Bio: Lydia Knight is a paradigm-shifting author, speaker, and executive coach. Her memoir Split chronicles her deprogramming from indoctrination, while her upcoming book Thought Leader explores the personal and social impact of our thought patterns. As founder and CEO of The She Center, a top 2% woman-owned businesses globally, Lydia’s innovative work has been featured on CBS, NBC, and Fox News among others. She has conducted leadership and communication trainings for the U.S. Army, Forbes 50 Over 50, Emmy Award Winners and and for leaders at Disney, Adobe, and National Geographic. A cult survivor doing exceptionally well, Knight's work empowers women to create their own path to freedom. Takeaways: Lydia Knight grew up in a cult led by her grandmother. Fear was ingrained in her from a young age. We all have stories that shape our identity, many of which are not true. Breaking free from fear is a journey that takes time. Family relationships can be complex and healing is possible. Mothers may not always act in the best interest of their children. We teach others how to treat us through our standards. Celebrating small actions reinforces positive behavior. Thought patterns drive our actions and outcomes in life. Personal growth often involves letting go of old relationships.
