19: Growing Up in The Order of the Lamb Cult

Roanna shares her harrowing journey of growing up in a deeply dysfunctional family within the cult-like religious group known as The Order of the Lamb. She opens up about the trauma she endured as a child—severe punishment, emotional control, and fear-based obedience—and how it shaped her mental health and sense of self.Her story weaves through early play therapy with dolls, the isolating experience of being raised in a predominantly Mormon community, and the internal conflict between genuine spirituality and the oppressive structure of organized religion.As she began to heal, repressed memories resurfaced, leading her to confront PTSD, complex triggers, and the legacy of abuse she was determined not to pass on to her own children. Roanna credits her therapist and osteopath with helping her navigate the most difficult parts of her healing.She speaks powerfully about the importance of emotional awareness, the role of shame, and the courage it takes to face the truth. Through grief, growth, and education, Roanna is not only breaking generational cycles—she’s building a life rooted in truth, freedom, and purpose. Roanna’s socialshttps://www.instagram.com/thegfculinaryschool/https://www.instagram.com/roannacanete/https://thegfculinaryschool.com/ Beyond the Monsters Socialshttps://www.instagram.com/beyondthemonsters/https://linktr.ee/BeyondtheMonsters *Disclaimer: The content shared on this podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes only.
