Leaving A Cult: Bek Condello’s Remarkable Story of Rebuilding Her Life

For most of Bek Condello's life, she had everything decided for her, and controlled by someone else. Growing up in a closed-off doomsday Pentecostal church, she experienced abuse and coercive control until she found the courage to upend her life and leave, cutting her off from everyone and everything she knew. Her story of bravery and resilience will floor you, and today Bek is living her best life, and has authored her first book, Can You Handle A Girl Like Me.

Bek's story is a reminder that it's never too late to start the life you want.
