In this episode of How to Leave a Cult, I sit down with Lane Kamp — the son of Trina Kamp, one of the founders of the cult I was raised in. This is the beginning of a multi-part interview, and we start not with the cult itself, but with the woman at the center of it.

Lane takes us through his mother’s early life: her childhood, her first marriage, and the moment she met spiritualist Richard Ireland — a meeting that would deeply influence her path. Together, we begin to unpack the experiences, trauma, and ideologies that shaped Trina Kamp before she became a leader.

This is the origin story — as told by her son — of how one woman’s past became the foundation for a belief system that would change lives forever.
