I feel worse in a lot of ways when we're Christian women because we feel like we're supposed to have this perfect little Christian family, and Christian families don't have these problems.

In this heartfelt episode of 'Married to Addiction', she tackles the heavy stigma that Christian wives often face. The belief that Christians aren’t 'supposed to' have these problems can leave you feeling isolated and confused. Julie dives into why this perception exists and how it adds to the emotional burden you’re already carrying.
She shares her own experiences and offers practical advice on how to navigate these tricky waters without losing yourself or your faith.

She highlights the importance of community support, particularly through her Secret Sisters Circle, where women can find solace and guidance. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with the dual pressures of addiction and religious expectations.
Julie's compassionate approach will remind you that you're not alone, and that faith can be a powerful ally in your journey.
