In this episode of the Time with Tim podcast, Tim and Andy speak with Jenna Miscavige. Jenna grew up in the Church of Scientology, a world shaped by control, secrecy, and fear. As the niece of Scientology’s leader, she was immersed in a system designed to break individuality and demand absolute loyalty. But Jenna had something that system couldn’t erase—her own mind. In time, she found the strength to question, to break free, and to reclaim her life.

In this first conversation, Tim leads the discussion, guiding Jenna through the story of her childhood—what it was like to grow up in a world where obedience was everything, the punishments for stepping out of line, and what ultimately gave her the courage to leave. Throughout this series, we’ll explore not just the trauma of high-control systems but also the resilience, healing, and meaning that come after.
