After escaping an abusive marriage and rebuilding her life as a single mother, Marie turned to the faith community she had trusted for years. But not every betrayal comes from an enemy. In this season premiere, Marie shares how a longtime family friend, pastor, and spiritual leader became one of the most damaging relationships of her life. As she reflects on childhood trauma, survival, faith, and resilience, a troubling pattern begins to emerge. What follows is a story about trust, power, and the devastating impact of betrayal by someone who claimed to serve God.

<div> <p>*Content warning: divorce, conversion therapy, reorientation therapy, cyberstalking, stalking, emotional and psychological abuse, death threats, and criminal threats.</p><p>Danny Cords is an organizational psychologist and victim advocate from Seattle. He began harnessing his voice and speaking out for others after leaving conversion therapy in his late teens. But his advocacy mission only intensified after being subjected to years of cyberstalking. He hopes to bring awareness and healing to victims all over the world, as well as legal change too. His related (and unrelated) work and efforts have been featured on the stage, television, radio, podcasts, and more. We are extremely grateful that Danny was willing to share all that came next in his personal, professional, legal, and media journeys.</p><p><strong>*Resources: </strong></p></div><ul> <li>Danny Cords's website: <a href="https://www.dannycords.com/">https://www.dannycords.com/</a> </li> <li>End Tech-Enabled Abuse: <a href="http://endtab.org">endtab.org</a> </li> <li>Organization for Social Media Safety: <a href="https://www.socialmediasafety.org/">https://www.socialmediasafety.org/</a> </li> </ul><div> <p><br><strong>*Sources: </strong><br><em><br>-Cybersecurity Awareness Month, Cybersecurity &amp; Infrastructure Security Agency</em>, <a href="http://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-awareness-month">www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-awareness-month<br></a><br><em><br>-Cybersecurity, RAND Corporation</em>, <a href="http://www.rand.org/topics/cybersecurity.html">www.rand.org/topics/cybersecurity.html<br></a><br><em><br>-Stalking Fact Sheet, The Stalking Prevention, Awareness, &amp; Resource Center, </em><a href="http://www.stalkingawareness.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/SPARC_StalkngFactSheet_2018_FINAL.pdf"><em><a href="http://www.stalkingawareness.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/SPARC_StalkngFactSheet_2018_FINAL.pdf">www.stalkingawareness.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/SPARC_StalkngFactSheet_2018_FINAL.pdf</a><br></em></a></p><p>For additional resources and a list of non-profit organizations that can help, please visit <a href="http://www.somethingwaswrong.com/resources">http://www.somethingwaswrong.com/resources</a></p><p><strong>Follow What Came Next:</strong></p></div><ul> <li>Podcast: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/what-came-next/id1674051643">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/what-came-next/id1674051643</a> </li> <li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/whatcamenext_podcast/">https://www.instagram.com/whatcamenext_podcast/</a> </li> </ul><div><br></div><h1><strong>SWW S25 E24 BTS and Q &amp; A Part 2</strong></h1><div> <p><br><strong>*Content Warning</strong>: friendship betrayal, infidelity, stalking, domestic violence, institutional betrayal, institutional trauma, and murder. </p><p><strong>Free + Confidential Resources + Safety Tips:</strong> <br><a href="http://somethingwaswrong.com/resources">somethingwaswrong.com/resources</a>   </p><p><strong>SWW Sticker Shop!</strong>: <a href="https://events.humanitix.com/swwxtgi">https://</a><a href="https://www.brokencyclemedia.com/sticker-shop">brokencyclemedia.com/sticker-shop</a> </p><p><strong>SWW S25 Theme Song &amp; Artwork: </strong></p></div><ul><li>The S25 cover art is by the Amazing <a href="http://instagram.com/okaynotgreat">Sara Stewart</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/okaynotgreat/">instagram.com/okaynotgreat/</a> </li></ul><div><br></div><ul><li>The S25 theme song is a cover of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gladragsmusic/">Glad Rag</a>’s <em>U Think U</em> from their album <em>Wonder Under</em>, performed by the incredible <a href="http://www.instagram.com/abayomithesinger">Abayomi</a> <a href="http://instagram.com/Abayomithesinger">instagram.com/Abayomithesinger</a>.
