Dr. Judy tackles one of our greatest challenges as a social spieces – the phenomenon of brainwashing and harmful groupthink – with law enforcement expert Mike King and Zion cult survivor Andrea Lithgow. As we continue to battle the pandemic, a lesser known yet pervasive phenomenon – the Infodemic - can take hold of our minds and hearts and wreak havoc on our decision making and peace of mind. To guard against this, we must develop a vaccine for our minds – and Dr. Judy explores how by delving deep into the story of the Zion polygamous Cult takedown and how Mike as lead investigator rescued Andrea and many others from a life of captivity, indoctrination, and unspeakable trauma when she was a teenager. Three decades later, Mike gathered the survivors in an unprecedented and heartwarming reunion where they can commune and heal. With the help of government and private donor benefactors, Mike provided important resources to these individuals, and Andrea has learned with therapy and education to recover and rebuild a fulfilling, meaningful, and inspiring life.  Dr. Judy introduces the concept of Inoculation Theory and how we can provide ourselves with a vaccine for our minds in order to safeguard against a deluge of harmful information. Along with Mike and Andrea, they share tips on how we can arm ourselves with the skills needed to filter the truth from myth, and to prevent manipulation and harmful groupthink from taking over our lives and the lives of those we love.

On this episode of Supercharged Life, Dr. Judy has a candid and heartfelt conversation with LeCrae, two-time grammy award winning hip hop artist, activist and author of I Am Restored- How I Lost My Religion but Found My Faith. Despite his tremendous success, LeCrae feared revealing his true self to everyone in the world, including his own family. LeCrae discusses the struggles with addiction, depression, and anxiety as he fought for acceptance from the world after enduring physical, emotional, and sexual abuse before the age of 10, and how he ultimately found it in unexpected ways through stepping away from nonstop work and productivity, the major things that always brought him affirmation and self-worth. In an unprecedented step, Lecrae took a sabbatical from his music career and took the time to go to therapy despite the shame and stigma around seeking professional help. He details important lessons about effective healing practices and how he mended his relationships with his family to find real, unconditional love. If you need inspiration for self-compassion, starting anew after trauma and pain, or simply need a refresh on your mental health and wellness practices, this is an episode you don’t want to miss. Dr. Judy gives you five practical tools to discover your true self and move through life with conviction and authenticity.
