How our cultural myths about “perfect memory” fuel victim‑blaming and silence.

If you work in leadership, law, media, education, or simply care about creating safer spaces for disclosure, understanding trauma and memory is not optional.

From a trauma perspective, it’s the opposite.

In the latest episode of Built to Grow, we walk through:

How the brain and body respond to overwhelming events.
Why traumatic memories are often fragmented, delayed, or recalled out of order.

The episode focuses on what this means for:

1. Democratic institutions and norms
2. Families and friendships strained by politics
3. How to engage (or step back) without burning out

In this week's episode of Built to Grow, I analyze the MAGA movement through classic cult dynamics: a charismatic leader at the center, an us‑vs‑them narrative, information control, loyalty tests, and moral inversion that rewards "winning" over truth or law.

We keep nuance front and center: not every Trump voter is in a cult, but the core of the movement operates with strikingly cult‑like patterns.

In this new episode of Built to Grow, we unpack the MAGA movement through classic cult dynamics: the charismatic leader at the center, the us‑vs‑them story, the alternative media universe, loyalty tests, moral inversion, and the sense of belonging that keeps people locked in.
