Mandy Speaks Up!

Vicenta sent me a message asking if she could share her story for the very first time since leaving The Potter's House CFM in 2020. Vicenta's story is her own personal experience and is shared in her own words allegedly. She shares how she was sucked in by “the community” and gatherings that helped her loneliness after moving to Colorado. But soon all her time and focus was demanded. She became a “leader's wife” and then a “pastor's wife” inside this highly authoritarian organization. She claims she suffered suicidal tendencies while “pastoring” a baby church and pleaded for help but was denied compassion and was instead told to “suck it up”. She admits her children is the only reason she continued and is still her with us today. She shares her story without blame but with a desire to prove to others that may be wanting to leave The Potter's House CFM but are too afraid that there is “life after The Potter's House”.

Athena talks about rac!sm, decolon!zing & how yt supremacy remain a huge issue &impacts us all. And how we can begin to truly heal. With awareness and without shame. She uses her work as a somatic practitioner to help guide our bodies through this tough discussion. But the discussion is only the root problem of what has been surrounding us and in us for generations. How did your ancestors live through this?If you are BIPOC - how or in what ways did your ancestors have to minimize themselves in order to live in a society that removed any respect from them and grew this “cancer” also known as racism. *This discussion can be triggering at times so please allow your body time to complete the somatic healing Athena guides you through.

Get ready for a magical ride! In this uplifting episode, Mandy introduces the radiant Diana Estrella — a cosmic star being with a truly inspiring story to share!Diana takes us on a journey that begins in a quiet Mennonite community in Mexico. She loved the simple joys of farm life, but from an early age, she had to hide her true self in order to survive. Her story is one of resilience, heart, and ultimately, transformation.“Hi! I'm Diana," she says. "Even though I grew up surrounded by the beauty of a humble life, I learned to shrink myself out of fear of shame and judgement. It felt like being a bird in a cage, never free to fly."Diagnosed with lupus and bipolar type 2 at just 18, Diana spent years navigating the shadows of pain and medical trauma. But deep within, her soul began to stir — calling her back to her essence. One day, she woke up. She chose to break free. She turned to the ancient wisdom of spirit, energy, and the Earth to heal.Through this awakening, Diana discovered the sacred gifts that had been waiting patiently within her — her healing hands, intuitive sight, and star-born knowing. Today, she stands as a certified intuitive spiritual energy healer, devoted to helping others remember who they truly are.Tune in for this heart-opening chat, and come meet the beautiful soul that is Diana Estrella. You'll be inspired, and you might just feel a little more magic in your own life by the end.You will also learn how to connect with Diana Estrella yourself!Xx you can also watch on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/live/SBcG4R9f6lM?si=H3vDszuwKSjwVBXR

A story not believed. Trauma. It doesn't just end. The pain of it will continue even after you are gone. What if you could stop what you are passing on? Stories of pain and suffering?

And how She didn't realize it was on the list written by professionals Of traits that identify cults until years after she had left this environment. Eye opening and raw interview.

The Potter's House has received much criticism throughout its existence and has been labelled by many as a cult. Major areas of criticism include the level of control exerted over its members, the intense level of commitment required, and the shunning and mistreatment of those who have left the church. The church has been accused of brainwashing its members resulting in the blind following of church beliefs and the division of families. According to their site They are an International Fellowship of over 3000 “churches” in 130 nations. The churches within The Fellowship are usually known as The Potter's House, The Door or Victory Chapel. Alan Eby knows firsthand the abuse that takes place because he was once one of them. Birthed into this place during an April conference in Gallup, NM. He soon became a pastor's kid at only 6 years old. He lived almost 30 yrs inside this place that has been branded a cult from professionals that study these type of high control systems. He trained diligently to climb up the ladder to become a leader of his own church. The countless hours of non paid work for this place and at the end he says he's left with so much shame and regret for some of the actions he was persuaded and taught to proclaim and do. Today after finally walking away from The Potter's House after almost 30 years Alan is trying to further his career as an independent artist but says he suffers from feeling so behind then others in this industry because of so much wasted time he gave away to this so called church. As he continues to heal from his experience inside The Potter's House Alan hopes by sharing his story that it will bring community and encouragement to others that have walked away from this same place.

After escaping a cult in 2018. I deconstructed from the beliefs I had been groomed to believe. I began to rediscover who I had been before them and before the pain. I discovered my core truth. Connecting with my spirit guides became a monumental time in my journey. Especially when I met my main spirit guide BO. A Native American Chief. In this episode I talk about why it is very important to have this relationship with them. And how you can begin to find that for yourself!

As a shamanic healer and spiritual teacher, I channel information and my own teaching from my shamanic ancestors and spirit guides. This is a mindful discussion on making sure to really research where spiritual teacher or mentor especially one you are learning from is receiving their information from. And why at times we may invest our time am money into a course or mentor but do not feel we receive much from it. You may learning from their own energy but not from the source. Such as ancient wisdom. And that is where I want to receive from. Very intriguing discussion that was channeled from ancient wisdom.

We all have suffered and we may find ourselves believing that we ‘need' to suffer or continue to suffer to earn our worth in this lifetime. We can find ourselves digging into the truth of what our pain and suffering did TO us and then later often after a spiritual awakening we learn what it did FOR us. And then we find ourselves subconsciously feeling like we are meant to continue to suffer. In this episode I talk about this and how we can release the belief that we have to suffer.

Christina's Journey in the Potter's House Church (cult) began in 2001. But her story is a little different in the fact that she did not choose this “church”. She was married into it. After being forced to attend or be homeless, per request of her in-laws. She chose to attend. What she experienced in this horrific environment is something you would only imagine watching in a movie on t.v. * Viewer discretion is advised. * From physical violations (emotionally, physically, se*ually) to watching girls as young as 15 yrs old be married off. Grooming & manipulation, being isolated from “outsiders”, to witnessing men that had accusations of terrible violations but still being allowed to become “pastors” (cult leaders). And so much more. How did she finally escape? It wasn't until she did something that was not allowed that she was able to find the help to take the risk. Join us as we chat with Christina! Find out how she escaped. And how she's doing now after 12 years involved in a community that still exists today. And May very well be closer to you than you think. https://www.divinemandyoracle.com Interview Streamed on Spotify/Apple, FB, & Mandy Speaks Up YouTube channel! ••• Watch the interview on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/YE-t7fnVh50?feature=share •••• Help resources: https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model/ ••••National Domestic Violence Hotline https://www.thehotline.org/

When I began my holistic healing practice. I started with tarot - channeling msgs to clients from all around the world. But soon learned that I wasn't only "reading cards". Actually I wasn't doing that at all. I was literally giving messages to my clients from their own subconscious and spirits around them. Then. I began guiding many of them into subconscious healing. That really proved to be successful. But then again I was led further into their body. This time into their very cells. Our cells/bodies function with a process called Signal Transduction. Through this biological process that is literally happening inside your body RIGHT NOW. I created a method to correlate with that very system already operating inside you. Some can call it "spiritual" or holistic. But does it work? Yes! It's backed up by Dr. Gabor Mate.

Today we will clear the solar plexus chakra with light language. Breathe in and out and begin to clear words, patterns, beliefs, spells, thoughts that intrude or are not for our highest good. After this short practice- drinking water and foods of the color yellow such as bananas, yellow peppers etc can also be beneficial to continue clearing. There is nothing to be done while listening. But you may close your eyes and receive by playing it in the background, while sleeping, or just on play while doing your thing!

Power over addictions, toxic situations. Power that you are worthy to exist. Power that you are ABLE to break cycles. You are capable of setting yourself free from whatever is holding you back.

Just 15 yrs old Juanita Estrada Brown began being love bombed into a church by the name of ‘The Door' Christian Fellowship Church in San Antonio, Tx. The year was 1987. But what Juanita didn't know was this “church” had been in the media for its cult attributes. It wouldn't be until years after she left that she would realize it had in fact been a real cult. What started as a knock at the door. A prayer. Invites for ice cream. Would eventually lead to encouragement to become a teen bride. Juanita began to feel something was not right. While other teen girls around her were married off. Juanita chose to graduate high school and go to college instead. A decision that perhaps helped her eventually leave that environment in 1995. She shares her story exclusively with Mandy on MANDY SPEAKS UP! -My own personal story of escaping THE POTTER'S HOUSE church cult in 2018- https://open.spotify.com/episode/5DXDQIH8VMVsBkTu51LARQ?si=6kWT2idVT6-MCFognvy04A -More interviews can be found on my YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/0Kgg-XuHyrM

Tyffany returned for the memorial service of her dear friend. Only to be subjected to the pastor's(cult leader) public HATE SPEECH on the LGBTQ community. She shares her jaw dropping story exclusively on Mandy Speaks Up podcast.

It needs somewhere to go. One way to release is to speak out the words and emotions we were not allowed to speak or feel during the initial experience or moment!

This light language activation has the intention of beauty and love. Your body will receive from it exactly what it needs. Listen as many times as you would like. Light language begins at the 2:10 mark. Thank you for listening. *For those not familiar with light language you may research about it. It is a language in codes that our bodies naturally translate without any self limiting beliefs or 2D/3D judgments.

Trigger warning: Suicide/self harm is todays topic. There was actually a time in my life where I believed death was the best way out of my darkness. I share about a moment that gave me understanding that my environment needed to change! If you are thinking about harming yourself or attempting suicide, tell someone who can help right away. Call the toll-free, 24-hour hotline of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255) to be connected to a trained counselor at a suicide crisis center nearest you.

This prayer/meditation is spoken not only for those affected today. But for those that will come from the bodies & wombs of those suffering the trauma of this war.

I knew something was not right when I couldn't FEEL or express happiness in its whole entirety. I was able to heal and realize that religion had groomed me to believe that I couldn't be happy for long. Trials and tribulations would come soon after. My nervous system did not feel safe. So to keep me safe it resisted happiness altogether.

Be guided into retrieving what may have been lost inside you. Or releasing what was never you in the first place.

When our bodies alert us that something isn't right… we begin to process what's happening. This looks different for everyone. For me I began to blame myself. Once we leave the toxic relationship or environment we can begin to heal in a healthy manner. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

When we leave any toxic environment we many times find ourselves speaking to ourselves in a much kinder manner. If not, we can find ourselves going back to similar toxic situations. Change your self talk and watch your mind evolve. Which then causes your life to change!

The cult may have taken so much from me such as: No bikinis, no movies, no movie theaters, etc But it gave me something too! Listen as I help you congratulate yourself as well for your STORY and journey!!

The cult and religion in general dimmed my light. Not only sexually. But in causing me detach from my very own intuition.

Be guided inside yourself to see the light that has been inside you. All along.

Part 2- what was inside this “haunted house”? And why did it add to my fear of hell.

How did I enter the cult? They asked for our names as we stood in line at a “haunted house”. Or was it really a haunted house?

I once believed all my issues had come from the cult. Digging in more. Brought me to healing my inner child.
