Join me as I embark on an incredible journey with my dear friend Cindy Plahuta, taking a deep dive into her strange and fascinating experience with Scientology. Her tale unfolds from a unique encounter with the organization in the early 90s, our shared memories at the Celebrity Center, and the shocking conversations that followed my initiation into the Sea Organization. The path is fraught with revelations as Cindy peels back the layers of her time within the organization, the eerie call to the ethics office, her ascent through the OT Levels, and the heartbreaking declaration of her friend's brother-in-law as a suppressive person.

Our heartfelt conversation takes a tender turn as we ponder upon the concept of chosen family and the excruciating pain of disconnection that Scientology imposes. We cherish the beautiful times we had together, even as we navigate the sinister aspects of Cindy's experience - the surveillance, the financial burden, and the risks associated with aligning with this organization. But don't think for a minute that it's all doom and gloom. There are chuckles to be had, particularly when we touch upon the importance of having a will in place, a topic that takes an unexpected, humorous detour.

Finally, we lighten the mood as Cindy brings us into the warmth of her kitchen with her new venture, CiCi's Comfort Cooking. It's a delightful end to a conversation that spans decades, numerous challenges, and the kind of friendship that withstands the test of time and trials. So come, lend me your ears, and together let's explore the complex world of Scientology through Cindy's extraordinary journey.
