Welcome to episode 052 of Mud Stories!
Mud Stories is a podcast dedicated to bringing you inspiration in your muddiest moments, hope to make it through your mud, and encouragement for you to know, you are not alone.
In today’s episode I’m talking with Michele Cushatt, connector, speaker, writer, and author of her first book entitled Undone: A Story of Making Peace With an Unexpected Life
Michele and her husband Troy, reside in Colorado with their six children, ages 8 to 23. And there is never a dull moment! She enjoys a good novel, a long run, sleeping in the sun, and a kitchen table filled with people.
In this episode Michele shares about:
- Making peace with the unexpected turns in life
- Her divorce in her twenties and single parenthood
- Her remarriage and the challenge of a blended family
- And the growth of her faith through those early crises
Michele discusses:
- Her first cancer of the tongue diagnosis and initial treatment
- The addition of three children to their family
- Walking alongside her dad through his cancer
- And the horrific challenges in her most recent 2nd and 3rd cancer recurrences and treatments
Michele has faced horrific challenges, and yet has learned so very much through them–lessons about fear, the process of grieving, pain, how to sit with others through their pain, and so much more. I am praying today her words meet and move you in the most deep ways. Michele longs for you to really know that you are NOT alone!

Amen, Michele! I praise God for how he is using you to further the kingdom. What a blessing you are to this world, and especially to people like me who suffer from chronic illness. I loved at the end where you talk about what the journey God is taking you on has taught you. You are so right — We are meant to do life together, and suffering is not unique to us! It is so important to keep sharing our stories and try to reach others who are in need of the live-saving power Jesus offers. Abundant life is found when we cling to hope together in Christ in the middle of all of our suffering. Thank you for your vulnerability. It encourages me to remain vulnerable as I finish writing my first book. Blessings and much love to you and Jacque! <3
