Tonight, the guys welcome Julianne Cusick, wife of author and past guest, Michael Cusick. Julianne shares her side of the story in a follow up to one of Real Recovery’s most riveting programs.
But first, Bill and George cover the calisthenics of recovery by going over a few steps, and tonight, they cover step 8 and 9:
- Step 8: Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
- Step 9: Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
Julianne Cusick shares how she was bitter and angry for at least 5 years upon finding out about her husband’s betrayal, but she speaks from a place of grace and hope for couples in the same situation.
Julianne Cusick is a former corporate trainer who now partners with her husband Michael through Restoring the Soul. Julianne’s passion is to fight for the hearts of women who are silenced by shame and fear related to their husbands sexual brokenness. Julianne is a dynamic and engaging communicator, Julianne speaks to Christian organizations, women’s groups, and retreats, all from the voice and hope of her own story of healing and redemption. Julianne is the mother of two active grade school children. She enjoys gardening, the outdoors, and spending time with friends.
Julianne doesn’t pull any punches as she tells her story of finding out about her husband’s indiscretions. She normalizes the fact that, if you’re in the same situation, anger is natural, but there is hope and healing. Simply put, restoration is possible.
Julianne and Michael now run the organization Restoring the Soul which exists to rescue, restore, and release men toward lives of influence for God’s Kingdom. They accomplish this mission through providing Soul Care Intensives in Golden, Colorado. Also, Michael has written about his personal journey in Surfing For God.
