Lenz describes how the nature ​of the cult fostered isolation, creating a deep wedge of distrust between her and her ⁢cast and crew. The group’s tactics involved making members distrust everyone except the leadership and approved individuals within the group.

Despite the challenges she faced, Lenz believes that being on the show and the demands of the ‍series ultimately saved her‍ life. The ⁣spatial separation between her life in North Carolina and the cult ​made a significant difference in her awakening.

Lenz is currently ​writing a book about her experience in the cult, a project she started during the pandemic. She⁢ hopes that sharing ‌her story ⁣will bring healing to others who may have gone through similar situations.

“What good are our painful experiences if we just lock them away and pretend like everything’s perfect? That’s not doing anybody any good,” Lenz said.

It took Lenz ⁣a while to open up about her experience due to feelings of shame and her reluctance to identify as a victim. However, she now recognizes the importance of speaking⁢ out and helping ⁣others who may be struggling.
