Mistee shares her origin story — born into a the Church Universal Triumphant Cult in Montana, raised in a conservative Christian church after her mother left the cult, and growing up with an undiagnosed borderline mother and a NPD- trait adopted father. She had no positive exposure to spirituality. After her brother died at 19, she left the church dramatically, fell into nihilism, stopped making art, and spent years escaping through hyperrationalism. In her mid-20s, a toxic but spiritually catalytic relationship introduced her to Jungian archetypes and meaning .
