She had 2 cars and nothing more than $5 and two credit cards which she didn’t know how to use. Her biggest challenge was acclimating to a life of leadership and tasks she was never allowed to do in the cult. Getting the courage to order food at a drive through was her first huge undertaking. Pamela shares her struggles with helping her children learn in a public school, finding ways to feed and shelter her family, including almost joining an even more insidious polygamous group, and slowly finding her voice and value as a woman. She would go on to found a multimillion-dollar business, Exclusive Services by MyGirls, and has shared her story across the country to show how someone who came from nothing can truly have everything. Her family has grown to include 32 grandchildren, keeping Pamela busier, and more fulfilled, than ever.</p><p>Watch part one (linked below) to learn more about her life growing up in isolation, hiding from a bl*od thirsty rival church and getting married off at 15 to escape her own familial abuse.&nbsp;</p><p><a href=\"https://youtu.be/nvK5L8Qsrcs\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to watch on YouTube</a></p><p><a href=\"https://youtu.be/BSaOV12BC1M?si=JBuFbXCCpeQenHw7\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Watch pt 1</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/live/f64zDdzpRJ4?si=7oz4jMFtrzHBV8AD\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Watch part 3 with Pamela and her daughters</a></p><p>Find Pamela!</p><p>Pamela’s website: <a href=\"http://www.pamelaspeaks.live\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.Pamelaspeaks.live</a></p><p>Pamela’s book:&nbsp; The Dirt Beneath Our Door <a href=\"https://www.pamelaspeaks.live/book\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.pamelaspeaks.live/book</a></p><p>Pamela’s Podcast:&nbsp; Wicked Confessions Uncensored</p><p><a href=\"https://www.wickedconfessionsuncensored.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.wickedconfessionsuncensored.com/</a></p><p>Subscribe to our<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/@CultstoConsciousnessClip\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> C2C \"CLIPS\" Channel!</a></p><p>Support C2C - Any donations are welcome and appreciated to support the making of this podcast.</p><p><a href=\"https://cults-to-consciousness-shop.fourthwall.com/en-usd\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Find our FULL (uncensored) merch store here!</a></p><p>Patreon <a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/cultstoconsciousness\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.patreon.com/cultstoconsciousness</a></p><p>Venmo @sheliseann</p><p>Find us on Social media!</p><p>Instagram <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/cultstoconsciousness\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@cultstoconsciousness</a>&nbsp;</p><p>Host Instagram <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/sheliseann/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@sheliseann&nbsp;</a></p><p>Co Producer / Host <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/jonathan.rosales_\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@jonathan.rosales_&nbsp;</a></p><p>TikTok <a href=\"http://cults.to.consciousness\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@cults.to.consciousness&nbsp;</a></p><p>Twitter <a href=\"https://twitter.com/cultstocon\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@cultstocon</a>&nbsp;</p><p>**Disclaimer: Thanks for joining us at Cults to Consciousness.
