Exposing Love Has Won: Andrew-Ryan’s Viral Interview on the #1 Podcast
“Your struggles don’t define you. What defines you is the moment you choose to stand in your authenticity. Vulnerability is strength — because once you’ve laid yourself bare, there’s nothing left anyone can take from you.”
– Andrew-Ryan Profaci
In this featured Love Has Won survivor interview, author and cult survivor Andrew-Ryan Profaci sits down with the host of Book Review 101, the #1-ranked show on PodMatch, to tell the raw and powerful story behind his memoir, The War on Love.
“I served Amy like a queen, while dismantling the Mother God persona with every opportunity I had.”
From his time inside the infamous Love Has Won cult to his emotional escape, this conversation digs deep into what it means to love someone trapped in delusion, to survive betrayal, and to heal through authenticity.
Andrew shares intimate details of his time as Father God to cult leader Amy Carlson, the inner war he waged against the false persona of “Mother God,” and the truth behind Amy’s decline, death, and posthumous mummification. He also introduces his FIRE and RISE healing system, a tool born from trauma, refined through recovery.
