1KHO 818: The Courage to Be Known | Michael John Cusick, Sacred Attachment
6/5/202655 min
The things we hide have a way of holding us captive. In this deeply moving conversation, therapist and author Michael John Cusick joins Ginny Yurich to explore why so many of us keep spinning in the same patterns, whether it's addiction, anxiety, shame, people-pleasing, overwork, or simply feeling disconnected from ourselves and the people we love most. Drawing from his own story of childhood trauma, recovery, faith, and healing, Michael shares why lasting change isn't found in trying harder but in being truly known. They discuss attachment, parenting, embodiment, faith, relationships, and the four things every human being needs from womb to tomb: to be seen, soothed, safe, and secure. This is a conversation about wholeness, freedom, and the surprising truth that healing often begins the moment we stop hiding.

This episode is sponsored by Fora Travel. You know, one thing we've realized through all of our travels as a family of seven is that trip planning is almost an art form. Between finding the right places to stay, mapping out experiences, coordinating schedules, and helping other families figure out what actually works with kids, it takes a real skill set. And honestly, a lot of people are already doing this naturally for friends and family without realizing it could become something more. That's why I think Fora is such an interesting idea. Fora is a modern travel agency built for people who want to create a meaningful travel business on their own terms. Maybe you've spent years organizing trips, helping others plan adventures, managing details, and building relationships. Those are real transferable skills, and the great part is you don't need prior travel industry experience to get started. Fora provides the training, technology, and support system to help you build at your own pace. Plus, you get access to a community of experienced advisors who are doing the same thing.
