Help is available:• Lifeline (24/7 crisis support): 13 11 14 · lifeline.org.auDavid's career began in journalism at the Bankstown Observer, where he worked alongside young Paul Keating. His ADHD, undiagnosed until age 70, drove him through multiple careers and into a Pentecostal healing ministry that became a cult led by a woman claiming to be God. For 23 years, he was isolated from family, including hanging up on his mother's calls. After the cult leader died, David led a five-year dismantling process, reversing isolation, reconnecting members with families, and eventually dissolving the group. He has since worked for International Needs, the Red Cross, Guide Dogs Victoria, and now runs a disability support business. His vision centres on kindness as a practice and framework for society, taught through children.David Ayliffe is a journalist, charity CEO, disability support worker and children's book author who spent 23 years in a religious cult before dismantling it from within. Now 72 and recently diagnosed with ADHD, he works with people with intellectual disabilities and advocates for kindness as a foundation for society.In this Kintsugi Heroes conversation with John Milham, David shares the story behind the moments below.🎙️ IN THIS CONVERSATION:• Late ADHD diagnosis can reframe decades of 'failures' and offer self-compassion instead of shame.• Fundamentalism thrives by declaring certainty; it requires turning off critical thinking by designating something sacred.• Cult recovery works when the leader loses credibility; collective realization can dismantle even deep isolation in a single moment.🕒 CHAPTERS:00:00 Young David at the Bankstown Observer06:17 ADHD diagnosis at 7016:19 The path into the cult: from journalist to believer22:09 How fundamentalism silences critical thinking27:20 Cut off from everyone but her32:35 The moment she lost all credibility35:28 The Emperor's New Clothes moment37:48 The dismantling: five years of reversal and reconnection42:04 Disability work and the kindness vision51:00 Kindness as something you practise56:51 Admitting what you got wrong1:03:17 Humour as the thing that saved me🎧 If this story moved you, follow Kintsugi Heroes in your podcast app so you never miss an episode.📌 RESOURCES MENTIONED:Lifeline Australia: lifeline.org.au━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ABOUT KINTSUGI HEROES━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Welcome.We're glad you found your way here.Kintsugi Heroes was created from a simple belief: every person has a story worth sharing, and sometimes the story we need to hear arrives exactly when we need it most.Our name comes from the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with gold.
