In this week's episode of Free Like Me, host Clark Fredericks sits down with Mandy P, creator of Mandy P Talks Predators, to expose a disturbing story of abuse and manipulation inside a 12-step recovery program.

Mandy, adopted at birth and a survivor of childhood abuse, shares how she was drawn into a cult-like AA group led by a charismatic but predatory figure named Mike. Her story reveals how even trusted recovery environments can become dangerous when power, vulnerability, and exploitation collide.
