Brielle is amazing - I met her on Sam & Melissa's channel and I just want to say it's amazing how she has turned this home into a place for people recovering from their FLDS experience to come, be safe, and be healed. ❤❤❤
I agree with you Breal has been through hell and back but she got that house and she turned it into something so amazing that she's telling Warren basically if you were in the nicest way possible I agree with you on that.
The fact that Brielle made it out of that hell, worked endlessly to find resources and support, went to school, and never stopped trying is ASTOUNDING👏❤️👏❤️
Shelise I just wanted to say, as a trauma therapist who has been through trauma, what you are doing with this work is so amazing and beautiful and needed. But on the other side of that coin I know how hard it can be to manage triggers within the work. It is super important to those of us who have chosen this path to help others who have been through the same things that we have been through but it's even more important to put our own mental health first. It's a difficult balance to keep for sure.
I have a question if you don’t mind. What is the best way to go about finding a good fit for a trauma therapist? I have tried over the years. I made 1 cry half way through my 1 session and she needed a smoke break ( I think I broke her just getting through half my story). I am more than ready and know talk therapy is needed after doing as much healing as I can on my own, I just need the right fit.
@@jordy1007x So this is a super great question and the answer is a bit loaded. Finding a therapist is much different than finding any other health professional because you need to click with them. You need to feel as comfortable as possible so that you can be vulnerable. I would recommend looking through Psychology Today and request a consultation over the phone or via email so that you can talk to them before hand and make sure it’s the right fit. I know with my own therapy experiences I prefer someone who is similar to me in opinion and experience so if that’s something you would also prefer, I would say to look for someone who has “lived experience” which is essentially code for “I have also had trauma and use my experience to help others”. So my advice is be picky, you have every right to be. You can also look for someone whose main specialty is trauma and who works with C-PTSD and can handle more “intense” trauma history. But the way those therapists reacted to you was unacceptable. Of course we are human but we are also taught not to have “extreme” reactions and I can’t ever imagine telling someone that their story makes me need a smoke. If anything I am extremely careful when doing trauma work to manage my own responses and emotions.
Thank you Brielle for sharing your story. You are the first person's testimony I heard, who still is believing in a loving God! I pray that Jesus peace is with you every step of the way! To accept therapy and truly heal is such a blessing! God bless you
"What we use to survive may not be what we need to thrive!" This Linda Listen will stick with me for a long time and gives me new perspective on my healing journey! You're an incredible human being Brielle!
What an amazing woman and survivor. I have been captivated by her story over the last two sessions. I didn't realise just how dangerous and evil the cult she escaped from was. It was horrific the level of organised effort and lengths the cult would go to, to systematically control it's member's through fear and coerstion. Brielle has turned a horrendous negative, into an absolute positive helping other's to recover from their FLDS trauma. A very inspirational women. Thank you so much for telling us your first hand, and inside account of what happened in that cult.
This is the best description of what it’s like to try to acclimatize to the real world. She’s just amazing to be so open about all her struggles. Guaranteed she helped so many people just describing her process, let alone all the work she’s doing now.
Seroquel is a strong anti-psychotic used to treat bipolar individuals. I can't imagine being forced to take that medication normally prescribed by a psychiatrist. Psychosis and possibly convulsions would occur to be withdrawn cold turkey. Whatever settlement Briell got wasn't large enough.
I KNOW!!!! My jaw dropped when I heard that. I was on that med and if I didn’t take it at the same time every day, I felt physically and mentally terrible. And it made me have more suicidal ideation. I cannot imagine quitting that cold turkey. I was only on it maybe a year - it was too terrible for my physical and mental health. Today I’m good and haven’t been on meds for years, thankfully.
I've taken seroquel for years. As a mood stabilizer (not antipsychotic, there is a difference), for chronic pain, and for sleep issues. I don't have bipolar. No one should be takingit without a doctors prescription, but demonizing a medication that helps millions of people is not ok.
I love Seroquel it’s very effective for me, but it is very strong. It’s often prescribed off label as a sedative. I’ve been on many different doses over the years, the highest being 500mg. 800mg is a VERY strong dose and is only given to individuals with very severe or treatment resistant conditions. 😭 Poor woman!
It’s amazing to hear what a wonderful life Brielle is living! I heard her story for the 1st time at Dream City Church where she came on stage to be honored for donating her obtained property to the Dream Center & it absolutely touched my heart & many others!! What a strong, beautiful, caring soul she is! 💖
Brielle is an absolute goddess. I admire her strength and the fact that she's in Short Creek helping people heal with the Dream Center, and yes I *LOVEEEEE* the fact that the house was his and now it's hers to help people with. I also have to admit, I didn't know there was a difference between polyamory and polygamy. I have friends that are polyam. I think that is perfectly fine and acceptable if that's what makes them happy. However, I draw a line with polygamy and I believe it's probably because of just the sheer number of cults that employ polygamy in their doctrine.
Brielle seems like the kind of person that to know her is to love her! I imagine every life she touches is better for it! Such an amazing light! Thank you for touching my life!
Omg i just started following you last week! I have never binge watched someone so quickly. I clicked as soon i saw the notification 😅 thanks for all the stories
Briell your life story is nothing short of miraculous. To survive through all this is mind boggling. I'm so happy that you believe in God, because He truly does love you. The cherry on the top was you getting WJ's mansion to help others. Thank you for sharing, I will keep you in my prayers 🙏💕
I felt like I was listening to a story of a woman trying to escape from Iran, not someone in the middle of the United States. How can this type of abuse go on without the government intervening??
Isolated, abused, indoctrinated, abandoned, neglected and controlled... It's mind boggling how this happens in the 2000's, in the United States. I've never been in that predicament, I was just abused by the plain old society, I'm thinking I got off easy, like my shit ain't all that bad.
Briell is such a hero and those that come into contact with her are so lucky to have someone who truly needs her helping hand. Thank you, Briell, for all you do. And, thanks, Shelise, thanks for giving Briell this platform to share. Not sure where, but I'd seen a video in which she gave a tour of her Dream house, and I'm so glad that more people can see the great work she is doing. ♥
I fangirl over Brielle so hard, I want her to get a Cameo acc so I can make my husband buy me a Brielle message for my birthday. 😂 She is one of the most impressive and unbreakable women I've ever come across. Even though I technically have nothing in common with Brielle (and I cannot imagine what she went through) - she's a superhero in my eyes. She will be an amazing mom. You both will. ❤❤
An active FLDS woman lives next to our ranch with about 13 young girls all different ages and they appear not to be all siblings. The caretaker is not their mother. One 15 year old told me that the woman was her teacher. That girl was only there a few months and then she was gone. I wanted to rescue her but didn’t know what if anything to do.
What an incredible person. Trauma shows up in so many forms. Seems difficult to make sense of such difficult challenges. There is a definite healing in transforming the experiences into assisting others to create a better life for others. ❤️❤
Your work with Dream House is so incredibly valuable. I did make a few purchases from the Amazon wish list you have set up to help support your mission. Take care! ❤
I can truly see her gift of helps come out towards the end when she started talking about the dream center and helping families especially children.. you can see her heart come alive when it comes to the work she has put in to making sure no one else is hurt this way.
She's so nice, I can't believe all this happened to her. I'm so glad. I just snuck away after my divorce. My one friend helped me get out officially. And my uncle was a lawyer, and he notarized my exit letter.
The only thing I can add here is that I'm a person who actually NEEDS Seroquel and I can't really tolerate more than 225mg a day, just more than a quarter of what they were giving Brielle 😢 Such an incredible story, the reclamation of it all is *chef's kiss*
Same, I can't even really do more than 75mg. Part of what makes Seroquel in particular so useful but also scary is it does different things as the dose starts getting higher, I can't imagine being on a high dose when you don't actually need it.
I have a family member that was given Seroquel and the treatment. I like to see that stuff get off the shells personally Seroquel is dangerous. There are days where I did not know what the reactions were going to be is it going to go badly today is it going to be a good day today it changed her entire perspective of things. She's been off this medication for 12 years and she's 99% right now the 1% I believe because she was giving Seroquel and I did study it and I told the doctor I don't want her on that but at the same time I did not have a choice. I fought like the devil, it was making her sick and throw up be very confrontational with people. Maybe it has something to do with the drug companies conspiracy theory I do believe that is what happened, I have read many posts on this channel that has said Seroquel was not a good option and I know firsthand it was not thank you speaking up about this. You have been through an awful lot I'm coming forward and telling your story is wonderful I love to hear of people that go in and come out the other side being stronger you are one of those people that can now help other people and your inner light is showing just by watching the video I know it's hard my sister is in a cult we gave up trying to change her mind over 30 years ago to no avail. It takes a strong person to get out and once you see it you can see it again A Million Miles Away and somebody else❤❤
Brielle, thank you so much for sharing your story! You are such a brave and strong woman. Your story, I’m sure, is helping so many others to know they can escape whatever situation they are in. God bless you.
Brielle, your story today has blessed me through your light shining. Dissociation makes some feel disconnected, but your approach draws us closer. Encouraging hearing what wonderful things are happening in Short Creek and your life.
Wow I watch all your videos! They are great.. I love to hear these stories of real life troubles and how they overcome.. I'm from TN and been here 42 years.. I'm so glad to hear TN was good for her and good to her.. and I love how she knows God had her all the time and the big dream house was just God's way for her to be given back good for bad!
Yes! You are thriving! Not only that you are leading the way for others to thrive! I love you thank you for sharing your amazing story. You restore my hopes for humanity! You're healing journey is truly a blessing for me. Thank you❤
Brielle thank you so much for sharing your story again. I’ve seen you on growing up in polygamy and your documentary. You are a very strong woman. You are doing a great cause keep up the great work!! I have wondered have you helped any of your ex family leave from the FLDS since starting the Dream center?
Two remarkable women talking is a wonderful thing. Thank you, ladies! ❤ Just shopped the Dream wishlist. There's so many basic items that are necessary. I enjoyed choosing art supplies 😊
Brielle, I can see you brighten up as you tell your story. You are healing all of us who have a traumatic past as you're healing yourself. Thank you for sharing that gift.
I’m so inspired by her strength and drive to do so much good for others! Her journey from captivity through gaining education to charitable actions and works is amazing and so admirable!! May the Lord continue to bless her with grace and peace and love!💕
Have been captivated by Brielle‘s story, listening to every word, and trying to imagine what it was like to experience her life up until the point she escaped and then being so brave to successfully navigate through the psychological trauma to where she is today. I live in Nova Scotia Canada. I know that she is one of many stories of young girls, boys, men and women who are out there that will never be heard but we know for a fact of the continued abuse and manipulation and indoctrination. All I was thinking was, in a perfect world, I wish I had known and I would’ve called you and picked you up and brought you to my place in Canada. What I realized was that the feelings that you emoted in me from your story is related to my own feelings on a certain level, known or unknown. Thank you for the courage to reveal your story.
Brielle, You're an inspiration!❤ I just watched both videos here. I had seen a video on the Growing Up in Polygamy channel about your Dream Center a few months ago. I'm happy to have learned more about it. What you created is a true example of irony - a fantastic one, at that.
Brielle you are an amazing woman. The Things you have been to sound like something from a movie and the fact that you survived and can talk about what happened and help others is amazing. Keep going!! Thank you for sharing.
I hope everything you dream of for yourself personally comes true. I can not think of another human who deserves it more than you. I'm sure you are a big inspiration to so many... from all the way in Australia I want you to know "You are the best" and thankyou! A quote from a favourite movie of mine that I have shared with alot of children is, YOU IS KIND, YOU IS SMART and YOU IS IMPORTANT. You are all of these things plus many more.
Love this so much!! "Hey now you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid!" (Lyric from song: 'All Star." ) I love how you sort of stumbled into getting the WJ mansion to use to help people get away from these kinds of groups, WHAAAT! Get it girl!! I'm so proud of you that you had this grit and gumption to do the right thing even in the face of threats and criticism and abuse for it for most of your life. I love how you were like this baby chick and just kept picking at the FLDS egg-bubble that confined you, without relenting! You're so inspiring Briell!! I hope you and your hubby see all the dreams come true! I wish I was closer, I'd donate a lot of stuff to the Dream House! Shelise, your work here has really helped me and I'm sure others, open up to the truth of the things we've experienced in these kinds of controlling groups. Telling one's story is so important but I was always afraid that it meant the narratives they teach 'were right' so I haven't been very open with mine. Watching your channel is really helping people to start to find courage and voice to do that too. Thank you and your mom for all you're doing!!
Thank you Brielle so much for all of your work and sharing your story 🥰 I have cptsd and you such are an inspiration ☀️support systems are crucial to healing
Val might reach out to you Shelise because we nominated Brielle for a Valiant Unicorn box...I suggested that he could mail it right to the Dream Center maybe ❤❤❤❤
I saw this house on the TV show Escaping Polygamy that Amanda Ray was part of. I live in Southern California and if I remember right the first Dream Center is here in Los Angeles. I just wanted to post that the organization is a non-denominational Christian organization not the LDS Christian. I’ve noticed that in the last ten years or so the LDS faith has been calling themselves Christian. We don’t believe the same things as the LDS faith does.
You are such a brave woman, Brielle, thank you for insipiring us. I was feeling down, but watching you come trough your many challenges made me rethink of my own situation for the better. Thank you, Sheline for doing this beautiful work, you are reaching and educating so many people and I'm grateful I'm one of them.
800mg of that medication is a lot!! I took 3mg many years ago, and I couldn't do very much. I know you know, but I want to reaffirm that you are blessed, Brielle. Your dreams, goals, and path are all blessed. Be well 😊
Brielle I would have taken you as my daughter in a heartbeat! God put you on this earth to be a hero. Please believe that. I have my own struggles but not nearly as difficult. Your association with the dream center is quite impressive. Warren Jeffs has a one way ticket to hell. He is not a god on earth or a god in heaven. May you and your husband be blessed with many children.
Briella is amazing person I am so glad she was able to get out of the Colt and I love all her previous episodes she's so strong❤❤❤ and I love that she took Warren's house donated into recovery I heard there were a few things that triggered people like praying obey on the outside they took that down miscellaneous little things that triggered people that took that down the really really sweet I hope for all the best for them in the coming years she is strong and she has to be mentally strong to be able to do this it's amazing to see thanks chalice we're having her on again she is a wonderful inspiration to everybody❤
You have my utmost respect, Briell. I can’t fathom what you endured, and yet here you are helping others and making a wonderful life for yourself. I wish you & your husband all the blessings in the future ✨💗💗
I know spaces at shelters are really scares but seriously the fact they saw she was in such a serious mental health situation and they still told her “you can go to the hospital but we won’t hold your bed”. Absolute madness!
I'm super impressed by your story, Brielle! You are a survivor and a hero! ❤ What you are doing to help others is so incredible! God bless you, your husband and all those you are helping through the Dream Center. ❤
Brielle, you are truly an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your story. I know that it had to be difficult to do that but it really helped me understand how the FLDS community are being oppressed by that despicable man. I’m on the other side of the country but I would love to donate clothing to your Dream Center (props to you for getting that huge house 🎉). Best wishes ❤❤❤
“And I got your house””😂🤣😂. God bless and protects you Brielle. You should have a movie with actors about your life. Wow!!! I’m going to pray 🫶🏼🙏✝️that God blesses you with children of your own. Great interview Shelise . Blessings from Texas
You are my hero! What a brave woman you are. All I did was leave the mainstream LDS church, and it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. What you went through is the stuff of epic tales.
Great job, Brielle! Thank you for sharing your story. I can't imagine what it has taken for you to be able to trust people after so many have betrayed you or may not have believed you. Good luck with everything in life! ❤
Hi 👋😁 is there any way i can find one of these post FLDS people where i can send my tithing? Im postLDS & know about tithing, have been sending to wounded warriors, & battered womens shelters since getting my own money & I'd really like to help❤🙏
in high doses, the medications they had Briell on can cause neurological damage. One of the first signs is in the fine motor control for speech. Briell, you sound like you have the FLDS / shortcreek accent; it doesn't come across as an impairment.
Brielle is amazing - I met her on Sam & Melissa's channel and I just want to say it's amazing how she has turned this home into a place for people recovering from their FLDS experience to come, be safe, and be healed. ❤❤❤
I agree with you Breal has been through hell and back but she got that house and she turned it into something so amazing that she's telling Warren basically if you were in the nicest way possible I agree with you on that.

I love Seroquel it’s very effective for me, but it is very strong. It’s often prescribed off label as a sedative. I’ve been on many different doses over the years, the highest being 500mg. 800mg is a VERY strong dose and is only given to individuals with very severe or treatment resistant conditions. 😭 Poor woman!
Decision fatigue is absolutely a thing.

Yay part 2! Thank you Brielle for being brave and sharing your story!
Omg i just started following you last week! I have never binge watched someone so quickly. I clicked as soon i saw the notification 😅 thanks for all the stories
Oh yay! Welcome to C2C!🥳

Warren Jeffs really creeps me out and then when I hear him talk it makes my skin crawl.
He is horrifying 😳
So happy you were adopted and felt love.
I love that she was able to make an actual true turn around with the home. An actual Yin and Yang with the Universe! Turned Evil to Good.
What an amazingly strong woman. Wow! I love this guest & I hope she receives all the blessings she missed out on when she was in the cult.

You can call Holding Out Help to see if there is something they can do

Amazing story and how incredible that she is focused on helping others escape the cult as well. What a beautiful blessing she will be to others!
Brielle, your story today has blessed me through your light shining. Dissociation makes some feel disconnected, but your approach draws us closer. Encouraging hearing what wonderful things are happening in Short Creek and your life.
She is AMAZING!!! I paused this episode to run and watch her Doc, (Wow!) and came back here to finish this. I'm so moved and inspired by her story!
So glad you are better and you have gotten your life back! It’s amazing that you did so much to help yourself and others! 💖💖💖
Wow I watch all your videos! They are great.. I love to hear these stories of real life troubles and how they overcome.. I'm from TN and been here 42 years.. I'm so glad to hear TN was good for her and good to her.. and I love how she knows God had her all the time and the big dream house was just God's way for her to be given back good for bad!
Yes! You are thriving! Not only that you are leading the way for others to thrive! I love you thank you for sharing your amazing story. You restore my hopes for humanity! You're healing journey is truly a blessing for me. Thank you❤
Brielle thank you so much for sharing your story again. I’ve seen you on growing up in polygamy and your documentary. You are a very strong woman. You are doing a great cause keep up the great work!! I have wondered have you helped any of your ex family leave from the FLDS since starting the Dream center?
Great parting piece of advice at the end ❤️
Shelise, you are amazing! I hope you know that!
🥲 Thank you ❤️
I just want to say as a person who has experienced trauma in childhood having kids and doing differently with them can be so healing!!!
Two remarkable women talking is a wonderful thing. Thank you, ladies! ❤ Just shopped the Dream wishlist. There's so many basic items that are necessary. I enjoyed choosing art supplies 😊
I confess I found this a shocking story. I'm very impressed with this woman's recovery, resourcefulness, insight and eloquence... ❤
Turning the bad to good 🙌 sending so much healing love 💓 so brave so empowering.
Brielle, I can see you brighten up as you tell your story. You are healing all of us who have a traumatic past as you're healing yourself. Thank you for sharing that gift.
I’m so inspired by her strength and drive to do so much good for others! Her journey from captivity through gaining education to charitable actions and works is amazing and so admirable!! May the Lord continue to bless her with grace and peace and love!💕
Have been captivated by Brielle‘s story, listening to every word, and trying to imagine what it was like to experience her life up until the point she escaped and then being so brave to successfully navigate through the psychological trauma to where she is today. I live in Nova Scotia Canada. I know that she is one of many stories of young girls, boys, men and women who are out there that will never be heard but we know for a fact of the continued abuse and manipulation and indoctrination. All I was thinking was, in a perfect world, I wish I had known and I would’ve called you and picked you up and brought you to my place in Canada. What I realized was that the feelings that you emoted in me from your story is related to my own feelings on a certain level, known or unknown. Thank you for the courage to reveal your story.
Love the concept of post traumatic growth--Brielle does have a PhD in experience--Thank you for sharing your amazing story.
Thank you Briell for sharing your story. You are truly amazing. I am so grateful you are helping others to be safe and to heal.
Briell❤❤❤❤ You make me want to move to Utah and help this community!! You are AMAZING and God shines through you ❤❤❤❤ keep up the good work 💐
Brielle you did a beautiful job telling your story! I love this episode focused on the recovery and then extending that to others
I love this interview. She is such an intelligent, wise, loving lady. I hope and pray for wonderful things in her life and work. 🙏❤️
Excellent Shelise! Thank you Brielle, and best of luck with all your future endeavors.
Thank you so much!
♡ Thank you Brielle for sharing your story ♡ And thank you Shelise for the amazing interview, as always ♡
Brielle,
You're an inspiration!❤
I just watched both videos here. I had seen a video on the Growing Up in Polygamy channel about your Dream Center a few months ago. I'm happy to have learned more about it. What you created is a true example of irony - a fantastic one, at that.
Brielle you are an amazing woman. The Things you have been to sound like something from a movie and the fact that you survived and can talk about what happened and help others is amazing. Keep going!! Thank you for sharing.
Bri you are such a light and so glad God has brought you to where you are and continues to walk with you through your journey
So wonderful you were able to escape, start your healing journey and be able to help others!
You have a great testimony and I love how stong you were from the beginning. It's a great victory you have here now.
I hope everything you dream of for yourself personally comes true. I can not think of another human who deserves it more than you. I'm sure you are a big inspiration to so many... from all the way in Australia I want you to know "You are the best" and thankyou! A quote from a favourite movie of mine that I have shared with alot of children is, YOU IS KIND, YOU IS SMART and YOU IS IMPORTANT.
You are all of these things plus many more.
Love this so much!! "Hey now you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid!" (Lyric from song: 'All Star." ) I love how you sort of stumbled into getting the WJ mansion to use to help people get away from these kinds of groups, WHAAAT! Get it girl!! I'm so proud of you that you had this grit and gumption to do the right thing even in the face of threats and criticism and abuse for it for most of your life. I love how you were like this baby chick and just kept picking at the FLDS egg-bubble that confined you, without relenting! You're so inspiring Briell!! I hope you and your hubby see all the dreams come true! I wish I was closer, I'd donate a lot of stuff to the Dream House!
Shelise, your work here has really helped me and I'm sure others, open up to the truth of the things we've experienced in these kinds of controlling groups. Telling one's story is so important but I was always afraid that it meant the narratives they teach 'were right' so I haven't been very open with mine. Watching your channel is really helping people to start to find courage and voice to do that too. Thank you and your mom for all you're doing!!
Thank you Brielle so much for all of your work and sharing your story 🥰 I have cptsd and you such are an inspiration ☀️support systems are crucial to healing
Val might reach out to you Shelise because we nominated Brielle for a Valiant Unicorn box...I suggested that he could mail it right to the Dream Center maybe ❤❤❤❤
Great idea!!
I saw this house on the TV show Escaping Polygamy that Amanda Ray was part of. I live in Southern California and if I remember right the first Dream Center is here in Los Angeles. I just wanted to post that the organization is a non-denominational Christian organization not the LDS Christian. I’ve noticed that in the last ten years or so the LDS faith has been calling themselves Christian. We don’t believe the same things as the LDS faith does.
You are such a brave woman, Brielle, thank you for insipiring us. I was feeling down, but watching you come trough your many challenges made me rethink of my own situation for the better. Thank you, Sheline for doing this beautiful work, you are reaching and educating so many people and I'm grateful I'm one of them.
How do you go about adopting a room? I'm in So Cal, willing to travel to help! Thx!
800mg of that medication is a lot!! I took 3mg many years ago, and I couldn't do very much. I know you know, but I want to reaffirm that you are blessed, Brielle. Your dreams, goals, and path are all blessed. Be well 😊
Brielle I would have taken you as my daughter in a heartbeat! God put you on this earth to be a hero. Please believe that. I have my own struggles but not nearly as difficult. Your association with the dream center is quite impressive. Warren Jeffs has a one way ticket to hell. He is not a god on earth or a god in heaven.
May you and your husband be blessed with many children.
Thank you for your openness and inspiration. I love your smile, Brielle, so warm and genuine...all the best to you!❤
Thanks Brielle for your helping ex-members. It is very noble of you.
Break the silence. Break the cycle.
You are brave, strong and amazing. Keep up the good work!
I watched the documentary but this is so much more. I love her story. Brielle you are an amazing 😮
wow what an incredible story! i have so much respect for her 💕
Briella is amazing person I am so glad she was able to get out of the Colt and I love all her previous episodes she's so strong❤❤❤ and I love that she took Warren's house donated into recovery I heard there were a few things that triggered people like praying obey on the outside they took that down miscellaneous little things that triggered people that took that down the really really sweet I hope for all the best for them in the coming years she is strong and she has to be mentally strong to be able to do this it's amazing to see thanks chalice we're having her on again she is a wonderful inspiration to everybody❤
I literally said it's a big FU to Warren jeffs sitting in prison hearing about this dream house right before she said it 😂🎉
You have my utmost respect, Briell. I can’t fathom what you endured, and yet here you are helping others and making a wonderful life for yourself. I wish you & your husband all the blessings in the future ✨💗💗
I know spaces at shelters are really scares but seriously the fact they saw she was in such a serious mental health situation and they still told her “you can go to the hospital but we won’t hold your bed”. Absolute madness!
I'm super impressed by your story, Brielle! You are a survivor and a hero! ❤ What you are doing to help others is so incredible! God bless you, your husband and all those you are helping through the Dream Center. ❤
Brielle, you are truly an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your story. I know that it had to be difficult to do that but it really helped me understand how the FLDS community are being oppressed by that despicable man. I’m on the other side of the country but I would love to donate clothing to your Dream Center (props to you for getting that huge house 🎉). Best wishes ❤❤❤
Love this! (The end result, not what everyone had to go through to get to that point)
“And I got your house””😂🤣😂. God bless and protects you Brielle. You should have a movie with actors about your life. Wow!!! I’m going to pray 🫶🏼🙏✝️that God blesses you with children of your own. Great interview Shelise . Blessings from Texas
You are my hero! What a brave woman you are. All I did was leave the mainstream LDS church, and it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. What you went through is the stuff of epic tales.
Brielle you are so strong and brave. Thank you for trying to help the children and continuing to help those who are escaping.
Brielle, thank you for sharing your story. You're so brave! I wish you the very best and many successes in your efforts to help others! ❤
Briell - you remind me of this saying I heard somewhere “knowledge is power & critical thinking is a nuclear”. You, my dear, are nuclear 🖤🖤🖤
Wow, this was an amazing story and interview. Brielle is an amazing strong woman...keep helping others.
Great job, Brielle!
Thank you for sharing your story.
I can't imagine what it has taken for you to be able to trust people after so many have betrayed you or may not have believed you.
Good luck with everything in life! ❤
I was thinking the same.
Hi 👋😁 is there any way i can find one of these post FLDS people where i can send my tithing? Im postLDS & know about tithing, have been sending to wounded warriors, & battered womens shelters since getting my own money & I'd really like to help❤🙏
Check the description for charities who help survivors ❤️🙏
P.S. are you having a hard time sleeping? I wish you well on you baby❤
They need to make a movie about all this! I’d watch even tho I now know the story. What a great interview!
Listening to how she is learning about life outside the cult is what I call truly being 'Born again'.
Unbelievable 😮😢😮😮😮😮. In My Country ……😢😢😢😮😮😮. Bless you both ❤❤❤
in high doses, the medications they had Briell on can cause neurological damage. One of the first signs is in the fine motor control for speech. Briell, you sound like you have the FLDS / shortcreek accent; it doesn't come across as an impairment.
