Listen to Empower Her Wellness
Melody’s journey from cult life to healing unfolds in an engaging narrative that examines the psychological impact of her experiences. Entering the House of Yahweh at just 15 years old and remaining for five years, she shares her story of isolation and indoctrination, detailing the complexities of marrying into the cult’s leadership. As she recounts her struggles with the group’s teachings, particularly the shift towards polygamy, Melody reflects on the emotional turmoil of reconciling her ingrained beliefs with her growing realization that she was trapped in a toxic environment. The transition from belief to disbelief was fraught with anxiety, leading her to a pivotal moment of excommunication that provided an unexpected exit. Her insights into the nuances of leaving a cult resonate deeply, illustrating the long road to recovery and the importance of self-acceptance during this process.
Melody’s current endeavors, including her Facebook group Cult Escape and Recovery, and the podcast Cultimatum, reflect her desire to support others on similar journeys. By offering a platform for survivors to share their stories, she fosters a sense of community and empowerment. The episode ultimately serves as a testament to resilience and the ongoing journey of healing, reminding listeners that recovery is not linear and that it’s okay to take one’s time finding their way back to themselves.
About Melody
My name is Melody Post. I am a cult survivor from the House of Yahweh, a cult based in Abilene, Texas. I was a member for five years, from 1989 to 1994, along with my parents and my younger sister. My experience in the group has shaped who I am today and inspired me to raise awareness about cults and help others heal from similar situations.
I have been married to my husband for 27 years, and together we have three amazing adult sons. I live in a cozy cottage on a beautiful lake in northeastern lower Michigan, where I enjoy the peace and inspiration nature brings.
I am the co-host and producer of the Cultimatum Podcast, where I work alongside Anonymous Andrew to provide a platform for survivors of cults and human trafficking to share their stories. Through the podcast, I aim to educate others about the dangers of coercive groups and build a supportive community for those on the path to recovery.
I have worked in a variety of fields throughout my life, including retail, secretarial work, home healthcare, tool and die, and as a print shop assistant. These experiences have given me a broad perspective and a deep appreciation for connecting with others. My passion lies in being a voice of understanding and hope for those who need it most.
