"I had no sexual energy. I couldn’t feel anything. That’s when I knew—we were siphoned."

In this final and explosive interview of the Bewitched series, Baljit Rayat steps forward with a harrowing story that spans nearly two decades. As the first student to ever learn the Akashic Records from Betty, Baljit didn’t just witness the rise of a spiritual leader—she lived through the full descent into chaos, control, and cult-like manipulation.

What began in 2006 as a path of spiritual awakening and mentorship slowly evolved into a twisted entanglement of gaslighting, psychosis, and psychic entrapment. Baljit recounts the signs she missed, the energy shifts she ignored, and the moments when her body began showing symptoms—weight gain, lost libido, mental fog—of being psychically infiltrated. But nothing prepared her for the Santa Fe retreat, where psychodrama erupted, euphoria blurred into confusion, and something darker came through under the guise of sacred ritual.

From being telepathically pressured to rejoin programs, Baljit unveils how Betty’s tactics became coercive, paranoid, and surreal. She opens up about the soul-crushing aftermath, the moment she finally blocked Betty, and the freedom that followed.

This episode is about reclaiming your energy, breaking the spell, and waking up to the truth.

Bewitched - Breaking the Spell After Spiritual Mentoring Goes Wrong - Baljit's Story

"I love you, so I'm going to beat you… then tell you I love you again."

That’s how Brenda describes the psychological undertow that pulled her into—and kept her in—Betty’s web for nearly a decade.

In this piercing episode of the Bewitched series, Brenda Reiss joins us to unpack her long, layered experience with Betty, dating all the way back to 2014. What started as a business mentorship for a corporate escapee turned into an eerily familiar cycle of emotional manipulation, shame-laced power plays, and spiritual gaslighting.

Brenda takes us through every twist: the way Betty shamed clients into MLM schemes under the guise of financial empowerment, the bizarre telepathic “nudges” that seemed to lure her back whenever she tried to walk away, and the chaos of energetically loaded retreats where nothing was clear, yet everything felt controlling.

This episode hits hard with real-life cult tactics masquerading as coaching: isolating clients, confusing group dynamics, trauma bonding masked as healing, and the ever-slippery line between mentor and manipulator.

Brenda’s story is a masterclass in the slow, subtle erosion of personal power—and her emergence from that fog is both a cautionary tale and a powerful reclamation of sovereignty.

Bewitched - Breaking the Spell After Spiritual Mentoring Goes Wrong - Brenda's Story

What do you do when the mentor you trusted becomes the monster you never saw coming?

Today we have Elizabeth Purvis on the show. Elizabeth thought she had found her match: a magnetic spiritual leader with a bold vision, unshakeable confidence, and a promise to unlock the deepest realms of transformation and magic. But behind the veil of light and leadership, something darker simmered. 

In this gripping episode, Elizabeth recounts her long and complex relationship with Betty, tracing it from fascination to disillusionment—and ultimately, reclamation.

Drawn in by Betty’s charisma and promise of elevated consciousness, spiritual mastery, and access to powerful circles, Elizabeth entered with eyes wide open. What she didn’t expect was how quickly admiration would blur into confusion, betrayal, and manipulation.

We follow Elizabeth’s path through cognitive dissonance, spiritual gaslighting, and professional entanglement—including being hired by Betty herself. As the cracks widened, Elizabeth faced the truth: this wasn’t a sacred mentorship. It was a trauma-fueled hierarchy, propped up by smoke, mirrors, and energetic puppeteering.

But this isn’t a story of defeat—it’s a story of discernment and power reclaimed. With brutal honesty, Elizabeth shares how she finally broke the spell, buried the illusion, and spoke the words that needed to be said.

Bewitched - Breaking the Spell After Spiritual Mentoring Goes Wrong - Elizabeth's Story

How deep does the rabbit hole go when seeking spiritual guidance? What happens when the mentor you trusted becomes the source of terrifying manipulation?

In a pivotal episode of the Bewitched series, therapist Audrey Hilliker shares her harrowing journey into the inner circle of Betty. Expecting growth and Akashic Records training, Audrey instead found herself trapped in a high-control environment marked by public shaming, gaslighting, and escalating demands.   

Audrey recounts the chilling climax during the retreat in Croatia, descending into a nightmare of intense paranoia, induced deprivation, and absolute control. Suspicions of being drugged surface as reality itself seems to warp. How did a respected professional begin questioning her own sanity, even her closest relationships?

You will not believe what Audrey's husband discovered about Betty and her true identity. It's an international complex situation which will make your jaw drop and question if Betty was one of the Devil's own closest allies.

Bewitched - Breaking the Spell After Spiritual Mentoring Goes Wrong - Audrey's Story

How do patterns of manipulation take root and hold sway, even within seemingly spiritual and empowering mentorships?

In this eighth episode of the Bewitched series, we welcome Louisa Havers, a long-time associate and former teacher within Betty's Akashic Records community. Louisa offers a unique and deeply insightful perspective on the evolution of her relationship with Betty, revealing the subtle and not-so-subtle ways in which patterns of manipulation emerged and the ultimate impact on her and others .

Louisa shares what initially drew her to Betty – a strong intuitive pull towards learning the Akashic Records. She recounts her early experiences, including a shocking and unfounded personal reading that, while not resonating with her, established Betty as someone with seemingly profound and unquestionable insight.

As Louisa's involvement deepened, she began to witness troubling patterns: Unethical behavior in group settings, the use of spiritual concepts to justify harsh and exclusionary actions, experiences of feeling compelled to engage in programs despite inner reservations, among others.

Louisa shares a significant shift in Betty's demeanor and focus around 2020, marked by an intense preoccupation with conspiracy theories and a paranoia that permeated her teachings.

Bewitched - Breaking the Spell After Spiritual Mentoring Goes Wrong - Louisa's Story

What if everything you believed about healing and personal transformation was being used against you?

In this episode of Bewitched, Nicole Cherie Hesse pulls back the curtain on the psychological and emotional stranglehold that Betty—the so-called spiritual mentor—had over her life. What started as a pursuit of self-discovery and growth turned into a high-control, cult-like environment where devotion was demanded, obedience was expected, and questioning was punished.

Nicole entered the relationship with Betty from a place of ambition and a desire to work with a woman who embodied spiritual entrepreneurship. Initially impressed by Betty’s visibility, network, and her promise of deep, transformational work, she soon encountered unethical sales tactics and misleading revenue claims.  

Nicole describes how Betty used spiritual teachings as weapons—convincing her to ignore her instincts, surrender personal autonomy, and submit to a system that prioritized Betty’s ego over real transformation. 

 * How does a mentor create an environment where independent thought feels like betrayal?
 * What does it take to wake up and see the manipulation for what it truly is?
 * And once the spell is broken—how do you recover from the damage left behind?

Nicole’s story is one of awakening, resistance, and ultimately, escape. If you’ve ever felt uneasy about a spiritual leader’s control or questioned whether a community was truly supporting your growth, this episode will strike a nerve.

Bewitched - Breaking the Spell After Spiritual Mentoring Goes Wrong - Andrea's Story

" Whether you believe Christ is a Messiah or not, Christ is love and there was no love. Nothing in this experience leads me to believe that she comes from love."

This is Part 2 of Robyn’s story in our "Bewitched" series, where we continue exposing the manipulation, coercion, and psychological control that played out under Betty’s so-called spiritual mentorship. If you thought Part 1 was shocking, this episode dives even deeper into the unraveling of truth—and the final breaking point that led Robyn to escape Betty’s grip for good.

Robyn opens up about the mental gymnastics, fear-based conditioning, and deep emotional entanglement that made leaving feel nearly impossible. We discuss how Betty weaponized trust and intuition to create a false sense of empowerment—only to systematically break women down, erode their confidence, and make them dependent on her approval.

But what happens when you start questioning the narrative? When the fear of leaving finally outweighs the fear of staying?

If you’ve ever felt trapped in a coaching relationship where your growth was being controlled instead of nurtured, this conversation will give you the clarity and validation you need.

Bewitched - Breaking the Spell After Spiritual Mentoring Goes Wrong - Robyn's Story Part 2

When a mentor demands your devotion, isolates you from loved ones, and convinces you she’s the only source of truth—what do you do?

In this jaw-dropping episode of the "Bewitched" series, Dr. Robyn McKay and I sit with Alicia Isaacs Howes to continue exposing the dangerous underbelly of high-control spiritual mentorship. This time, Alicia bravely shares her decade-long entanglement with "Betty," revealing how a once-inspiring coach slowly tightened her grip—leading to mind games, emotional abuse, and a shocking retreat that would change everything.

Alicia was an insider—trusted, given leadership roles, and made to feel "special." But behind the curtain, she witnessed red flags disguised as high standards, clients being publicly shamed, and a leader who claimed to be more than just a mentor—she claimed to be God.

This conversation exposes the divide-and-conquer tactics, bizarre retreats filled with paranoia, sleep deprivation, and starvation, and the final, terrifying twist—when Alicia was told her own family had turned against her.

We’re not sugarcoating anything in this conversation. If you've ever felt uneasy about a coach, mentor, or leader but couldn’t quite put your finger on why—this episode will give you the clarity you need to trust your instincts and break free.

Bewitched - Breaking the Spell After Spiritual Mentoring Goes Wrong - Alicia's Story

What if the person you trusted as your spiritual mentor was actually casting a spell to manipulate your mind, isolate you from loved ones, and hijack your reality? 

In this explosive episode of our "Bewitched" series, I sit down with Dr. Robyn McKay and Jia Dafu to unravel a story of spiritual manipulation, emotional abuse, and the dark underbelly of high-control coaching. Jia bravely shares her experience working with "Betty", a so-called spiritual mentor whose toxic tactics went far beyond typical coaching.

From sleep deprivation to planting seeds of paranoia about family and loved ones, Betty created a cult-like environment where truth and lies became indistinguishable. Jia opens up about how Betty's insidious methods of gaslighting, emotional isolation, and mind games left her questioning her own sanity.

We dive into the bizarre dynamics of "energetic agreements", the manipulation of spiritual gifts, and the trauma bonds that formed when vulnerability was weaponized. You’ll hear how Betty convinced Jia to break off relationships, adopt a delusional identity, and even channel business strategies that were stolen and marketed as Betty’s own work.

This episode is a wake-up call for anyone navigating spiritual and coaching spaces. We’re not holding back as we expose the dangerous patterns of cult-like mentorship, share how to spot red flags, and discuss the reclamation of self-sovereignty after spiritual abuse.
