Cult Whistleblower, Miranda Grace, on the Yoga Retreat That Changed Her Life
What does it feel like to lose your voice and what does it take to reclaim it? Fabled’s first guest is a key contributor to the BBC World of Secrets podcast ‘The Bad Guru’, and the subject of an upcoming documentary series exposing the truth behind a yoga retreat that promised healing but delivered something far more sinister. Join us for an intimate and powerful conversation with Miranda Grace - cult whistleblower, somatic practitioner and founder of Gracefull Awakenings - as she shares her story of survival, awakening, and healing after escaping the Tara Yoga Cult. In conversation with Fabled’s Founder, Miranda will share the subtle ways coercive control can show up - especially under the banner of wellness, spirituality and self-betterment -how cult dynamics operate in the body as much as the mind, and the journey of rebuilding self-trust and reclaiming inner authority. Miranda is a trafficking survivor, whistleblower and advocate for coercive control education and legal change. She’s an activist for reclaiming our body, our voice and our joy as a survivor. Currently, she’s fighting legal battles against the Atman Federation and Misa cult in multiple countries as part of her quest for healing, justice and positive change. This isn’t just a conversation about survival: it’s about sovereignty, voice, and what it means to come home to yourself on the other side.
