She escaped the walls of control; now she’s shedding light on the abuse that keeps others trapped. In this powerful continuation of our two-part conversation, Justin Yentes sits down once again with Rachel Jeffs, survivor, author, and daughter of FLDS leader Warren Jeffs, and Tawni Browning, an advocate for survivors. Together, they go deeper into what comes after escape, the struggle to learn how to exist in a world you don’t understand while finding the basics needed to survive... and all of that has to be done while healing from abuse, parenting, and building a sustainable life.

Rachel’s story doesn’t end with freedom; it begins there. In Part 2, she and Tawni open up about the backlash survivors face, the systems that fail them, and the community it takes to help people truly start over. This episode is a lesson in resilience, advocacy, and the enduring power of truth.

1. How Rachel continues to receive hate from within the FLDS community.
2. What it takes to help survivors rebuild: housing, mental health support, etc.
3. The impact of the series “Escaping Polygamy” on those still inside the FLDS.
4. The fear, relearning, and healing needed to step into a world you were taught to fear.
5. What you can do to support survivors by advocating for protections and accountability.

This episode is for anyone who believes that awareness isn’t enough, that survival stories must lead to systemic change. Whether you’re a survivor, an advocate, or someone trying to understand the realities of cult control and coercive systems, this conversation will deepen your understanding and strengthen your resolve.

Be sure to listen to Part 1 first to hear Rachel’s full story of survival and escape, then join us for this powerful continuation.
