333: Michele Cushatt on The Messiness of Grief, Why Numbing Our Pain Destroys Us, Why Faith Requires Struggle, and Why We Need Boundaries When Grieving

Podcast · March 15, 2023

This week, we’re talking about grief with my longtime friend and confidante, Michele Cushatt. Michele, through her own story of pain and loss, is going to unpack the messiness of grief, why numbing our pain destroys us from the inside out, why faith requires struggle, and why we need boundaries when grieving. For more than 15 years, Michele Cushatt has inspired and challenged both corporate and faith-based audiences with her story of trauma, faith, and resilience. She has spoken internationally to a wide variety of audiences including Ramsey Solutions, Women of Faith, Compassion International, Michael Hyatt & Co (now Full Focus), Cru, LifeToday TV, and more.
