About this episode

Being the child of a mommy vlogger forced to perform for the family YouTube sounds really awful. Being raised in a super intensely religious family sounds super tough. Having a mom with a personality disorder forcing you into vlogs and church… also a lot. Then finally a full-on cult??? Shari Franke survived her mother’s vlog AND her cult and all she has to show for it is a great book and jailed mom.
