Reality and unscripted television are often anything but that.

On this week's episode of Eyes Wide Open, Nick sits down with Chicago-based abstract artist Callie Ezell for another episode detailing her experience surviving life in a cult. Part two picks up right where part one left off, so make sure to listen to that episode if you want to hear Callie’s full story.
In this episode, we talk about Callie’s experiences and emotions as she began working toward an exit strategy to leave the cult. We follow Callie as she attempts to integrate back into normality, with things like meeting new friends, dating, and finding new work all haunted by the backdrop of her decade-long cult experience and the anxiety, stress, and trauma that she carried from it. Her difficulty reintegrating with normal life eventually led her to therapy and discovering art as a way to express herself.
Callie is very vulnerable in this episode, and gives us an honest depiction about what her experience was. This episode will help you view other human beings with compassion and empathy so that we can all go through life with our eyes wide open.
