In this powerful final episode of my Trust Me: The False Prophet series, I sit down with Nomz Bistline for a raw conversation about surviving coercive control, religious trauma, prison, and the long road back to personal freedom. Nomz opens up about facing her abuser in court, living with panic attacks behind the scenes, and what it really means to be labeled “strong” when all you want is permission to fall apart. We also explore trauma recovery, dissociation, victim blaming, spiritual abuse, and the deep emotional impact of being forced to rebuild your identity after years of manipulation and control.

Nomz shares how she began questioning everything she had been taught, why anger can be an essential part of healing, and how reclaiming her voice has led her toward music, advocacy, and a new life on her own terms. Her message is a powerful reminder to trust your inner knowing, keep asking questions, and stop outsourcing your power to people or systems that do not feel right. This episode is for anyone healing from abuse, toxic relationships, religious conditioning, coercive control, or the belief that they must always be the strong one.

This episode is an independent conversation and commentary related to themes discussed around Trust Me: The False Prophet and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Netflix.
