Publisher's summary

This true-life story shows how the author's innocent quest for meaning is hijacked by a teacher who recognized her thirst for spiritual knowledge, awakening insight while simultaneously strangling her capacity for critical thinking.

An Everyday Cult follows the arc of Buglion's journey through young motherhood into a group that welcomed her but also captured her mind, her heart, and her money. She shows us how a mind and psyche can be compromised by a controlling leader, using techniques that fly under the radar of human awareness—and she implores listeners to wake up to these ever-present abuses of power. Gerette vividly describes a personal journey that became increasingly treacherous, culminating in tragedy. In the telling of her story, she exposes the impact of cultic manipulation on daily life.

Written in an engaging, self-reflective style, rich with insight into techniques common to cults the world over, An Everyday Cult increases the listener’s understanding and awareness of destructive dynamics that just might be closer to home than anyone ever imagined.

An Everyday Cult's audiobook is written and narrated by Gerette Buglion with a foreword written and narrated by Sarah Edmondson, author of Scarred: The True Story of How I Escaped NXVIM, the Cult That Bound My Life.

poetic, courageously end beautifully written bio

I'm a big fan of cult survival stories. This author does a great job of sharing their state of mind while in the organization, and contrasts that with valuable learnings and reframing.
