In this video, we react to "How I Escaped My Cult" and the shocking story of the Word of Life Christian Church.

Send us a textWhat happens when the road you're told to follow no longer feels like your own? Christina Lambert grew up in the ATI (Advanced Training Institute) cult, where strict fundamentalist teachings controlled every aspect of her life—including an arranged marriage she never chose. But Christina found the courage to break free, reclaim her identity, and forge a new path on her own terms.In this episode of The Motovation Podcast, we take a deep dive into Christina's powerful journey:Growing Up in ATI – What life was like under the extreme rules of Bill Gothard's fundamentalist teachings.The Pressure of Arranged Marriage – How she was expected to submit to a future she never agreed to.The Moment of Realization – What sparked her decision to leave and the struggles she faced in the process.The Ride That Changed Everything – How getting on a motorcycle became a symbol of her defiance, independence, and the ultimate catalyst for her escape.The Cost of Freedom – Breaking free came with deep personal loss, as she faced rejection from those she once trusted and had to rebuild life from the ground up.Lessons We Learn from Christina's StoryTrust Your Inner Voice – Even when everything around you tells you to conform, your instincts matter.Escaping Control Takes Grit – Leaving a high-control group or relationship isn't easy, but the other side is worth it.Deconstruction is a Process – Breaking free is just the beginning; learning who you are afterward is a journey of its own.Freedom Comes with Unexpected Turns – Like any road trip, the route to self-discovery is rarely a straight path.Christina's resilience reminds us that sometimes, you have to take the handlebars of your own life and ride toward the unknown—because that's where true freedom is found.Watch now and subscribe for more stories of resilience, reinvention, and breaking free from the past.

Since winning the Women of the Year, Window on the World Award in 2007 in recognition of her unwavering campaigning for the rights of victims of forced marriage, domestic violence and honour killings, Jasvinder has been awarded a CBE and was made a Dame in the King's Birthday Honours list this year.  It's all a far cry from her strict upbringing and arranged marriage to a stranger in India which she was informed about at the age of 14. Running away from home, she lost everything she'd ever known and faced many challenges as well as heartbreaking tragedy, all of which only cemented her determination to help others facing the same injustices and cruelty.  Jasvinder describes what life was like growing up in her fiercely traditional Indian family and the traumatic, and still deeply felt, ramifications of choosing to run away rather than face a forced marriage like her sisters. She shares the roots of her campaigning work and reveals how long it took for her message and mission to gain any traction, and why she had to check under her car every morning before doing the school run with her children.

In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) My girlfriend's idea of perfect sex is both of us having orgasms as quickly as possible. Skip the foreplay, get naked, apply the lube, and get straight into intercourse. My idea of perfect sex is a bit of flirting, undressing each other, making her climax a few times during foreplay, then penetration in as many different positions as we can manage until we're both fully satisfied. Any suggestions for some sort of compromise?2) My friend is Indian and had an arranged marriage. She was a virgin at 34 when she got married, even though she's sexually educated and masturbates. I was dreading the worst, but her marriage is happier—sexually and relationship-wise—than any other marriage in our friend group. Is there any evidence that having lots of casual sex doesn't necessarily make you happier long-term?3) My husband and I are in our 40s and have been married 20 years. We're madly in love and still have sex at least three times a week. My husband has a VERY high sex drive and this is the compromise we have settled on because more than three times is too much for me and less for him is unthinkable. We have three kids, I work a high-pressure job, and I do the kids' and home responsibilities. I think he should look after himself by masturbating, but he can't masturbate to completion. He says it's a psychological thing: it makes him feel unloved, unwanted, and unattractive. I'm so tired of this being a strain on our marriage. I've suggested therapy, but he says he can't talk about such sensitive stuff with a stranger.To have Tracey and Kelsey discuss YOUR secret sex question, enter it anonymously at https://bit.ly/3C4AelUWant a copy of Tracey's book, Great Sex Starts at 50?
