We’ve all heard about “cults,” but Susi Massey grew up in a community that is now widely considered one. Her parents were members of "The Institute on Basic Life Principles," or IBLP – you may recognize the name from followers and TLC castaways, the Duggar family. Susi’s childhood was disconnected from the “outside world,” but education provided her with a way out. On this episode of She Pivots, Susi recounts her childhood, discovering Hooked on Phonics, her career in the roofing industry, and her optimism for what the future holds.
