What does emotional healing look like after decades of feeling unseen in a marriage?

 In this powerful conversation, author Julie Cunningham shares the deeply personal journey behind her book The Orphaned Wife — a story of emotional abandonment, hidden wounds, spiritual awakening, and the long road toward real restoration.

Julie opens up about:

• Growing up adopted and navigating childhood wounds
• Emotional abandonment inside a “good” Christian marriage
• The moment she realized healing wouldn’t save her marriage
• The process of rebuilding her identity in Christ
• Why the church often misses signs of silent suffering
• How her three-book series helps others walking through the same pain
• The difference between surviving… and becoming whole

Whether you’ve experienced emotional abandonment, spiritual discouragement, or simply want to understand how healing really works, this conversation will meet you where you are — and offer hope.
