このコンテンツについて

Michelle Dowd is the author of Forager: Field Notes on Surviving a Family Cult, a powerful memoir detailing her upbringing in an extremist religious group and her journey of overcoming trauma. A sought-after speaker, she has shared her story on The Joe Rogan Experience (2024) and The Megyn Kelly Show, offering raw insights into resilience and self-discovery. Now, she joins The Mitchell Report Unleashed Podcast to discuss her book, the importance of nervous system regulation, and the profound personal growth she’s achieved through storytelling.

Born into an ultra-religious cult—known as "the Field"—Michelle spent her childhood on a mountain in the Angeles National Forest. The group was founded in the 1930s by her grandfather, a domineering and charismatic figure who convinced generations of followers that he would live for 500 years and ascend to heaven upon doomsday.

In this harsh environment, comfort and care were considered sins. Michelle was forced to endure hunger, thirst, and cold, learning survival skills that most could never imagine. She grew to trust animals more than people and developed an unbreakable connection to the natural world—lessons that would shape her resilience in the years to come.
