Today I’m honored to have back on the show: Satanic ritual abuse, sexual abuse, and religious abuse survivor, visionary artist and acrylic painter, business owner and entrepreneur, sunset lover, color connoisseur, mental and spiritual health warrior, social media content creator, podcast host, inspiration to survivors all over the world, and someone I’m honored to call my dear friend: Kibbi Linga
Kibbi’s story is one of profound courage rising from the depths of unimaginable darkness. Born into a multi-generational satanic cult where her own mother served as high priestess and primary abuser, Kibbi endured ritual abuse, sexual abuse, religious trauma, and unimaginable cruelty from the very beginning of her life. Hidden behind a facade of Catholicism, the family twisted faith into a weapon, while her mother led harrowing rituals and her father facilitated the aftermath. Some of her earliest memories of being drugged with LSD, conditioned through dolls to repeat the cycle, confined in cages, and forced to witness and participate in atrocities - paint a picture of a childhood stolen by generational trauma and narcissistic control.
Yet even in that darkness, a quiet flame of defiance burned within her. As a little girl, Kibbi made a sacred promise to herself: one day she would break free, become an artist, and expose the truth. That promise became her anchor.
Today, she is fulfilling it with breathtaking strength. In sharing her testimony, Kibbi courageously honors innocent lives lost to ritualistic and organized abuse - such as young Sam, whose memory she carries with tenderness and purpose. Every step of her healing journey has been hard-won, a testament to her resilience as she reclaims her voice, her power, and her future.
Through it all, art emerged as her sanctuary, her rebellion, and ultimately her redemption. Painting became the lifeline that lifted her from despair, allowing her to breathe, create, and connect with the world in ways trauma once tried to silence.
From those painted expressions of pain and triumph, Kibbi Linga Art Gallery was born - a radiant space where her canvases speak powerfully of survival, transformation, and hope. Each piece stands as living proof that even the deepest wounds can become sources of light, that creativity can rewrite the darkest scripts, and that one determined soul can break generational chains and inspire countless others to do the same.
In Kibbi’s past episodes, we have discussed her testimony and pieces of her recovery journey. Today, years into her healing and recovery journey, she is finally experiencing joy, peace, contentment and happiness in moments and in ways she never thought possible. With so many other survivors suffering today through similar recovery journeys through traumatic and extreme ritualistic abuse, the bridge between recovering memories and living life as normally as possible is an entire testimony of it’s own for those who walk that path. And Kibbi is here today to share her own journey of recovery including where she looked for help, how she navigated and overcame triggers and negative beliefs, how she stayed motivated in times where it would have been easier to give up or quit, resources that helped her along the way, the healing power of creativity and art, how she came to view her testimony as a privilege and gift to give others, and so much more.
Kibbi’s journey reminds us all: no matter how overwhelming the darkness once was, the human spirit—when fueled by courage, creativity, and unwavering hope—can rise, create beauty, and light the way forward for others. She is not only surviving; she is thriving, creating, and shining as a beacon of healing and empowerment.
Kibbi’s unbreakable spirit is a powerful reminder that healing is possible, that voices silenced for generations can roar with truth and beauty, and that every brushstroke she makes is an act of victory. She is living proof that trauma does not get the final word - light, love, and creativity do. She continues to shine brightly as a warrior artist; the world is brighter because she refused to stay broken and instead chose to become a masterpiece of resilience.
