In this episode of Ya Never Know, Dr. Ellen Reed (@drellenreed) @DrEllenReed joins us to share her journey as a performance coach and expert in Relentless Solution Focus. We talk about how we met, how she’s helped me as my coach, and how her work has shaped both my mindset and Big A’s approach to recovery. Dr. Reed opens up about what it means to help people unlock their potential, stay solution-focused, and grow through life’s challenges. Big A and I also get real about our own recovery journeys and the daily work it takes to keep moving forward. A great episode for anyone looking to tap into their potential, shift their mindset, and start focusing on solutions instead of problems. 📘 Check out Dr. Reed’s book and more of her work here: Ellen Reed on Amazon

This episode picks up where Part One left off — after Daniella’s daring escape from the Children of God cult. What came next was a new kind of structure, discipline, and control: the U.S. military. Daniella @KnittingCultLady opens up about serving two tours in military intelligence, the psychological aftermath of leaving one cult only to find herself in another, and how she ultimately reclaimed her freedom and voice. Her bestselling memoir, Uncultured: A Memoir (available everywhere), tells the story of her journey from indoctrination to independence. Her forthcoming book, The Culting of America (available now for pre-sale at knittingcultlady.com), explores how cult dynamics appear in modern society. This is Part Two — powerful, revealing, and impossible to forget.
