River Donaghey grew up in a cult. Or at least that’s what some people called it. His parents called it a “personal-growth seminar group.” Its leader called it “one big happy family.” But there was a dark side to the world River grew up in. One he never heard about as a kid. In the 1970s and 80s, a self-help company called Lifespring took America by storm.

Hi, I’m Collier. Like many people, I ended up here accidentally because of another person's selfish actions. I was 11 years old when I heard my father murder my mother. I then worked with the police to get him arrested and testified against him in his murder trial, leading to his lifetime of incarceration. Then, the hard part began. Disowned by my family and sent to live in foster care, I started life over at age 12. Here, I share my process and perspective on surviving true crime and the trauma that comes with it. Let’s talk about overcoming adversity and moving on. I’ll chat with fellow survivors, academics, advocates, and storytellers. Healing is an ongoing journey, but we can turn the darkest moments in our lives into our brightest legacies! I hope this content offers anyone processing trauma the hope to move on to a better and more fulfilling life! Links: https://www.collierlandry.com/links
