Jerry Dugan - Breaking The Cycle Of Unhealthy Families (S3:Ep70)

Victorious Souls

Early on in Jerry's life he was your standard Army brat (which I learned stands for born raised and trained). But everything changed when he was 11 and his younger brother was 9. Following the divorce of his parents Jerry and his brother had to become "career suicide preventionalists" - meaning they worked hard to keep their suicidal father alive. It worked for a while until Jerry found his dad hanging himself. Unable to free his dad he cried out "Please God No!" Miraculously his dad lived but the next chapter of life Jerry and his brother were in foster care in Germany. Fortunately the family they were placed with were a loving healthy family. This is where Jerry learns how to break the cycle. After being reunited with his dad his new skills are put to the test as they move back to the states and are surrounded by unhealthy, poor, and bullying family members. Jerry's story is full of much overcoming which is demonstrated in the life he now lives - a healthy family, teaching and serving others. Bio: Jerry Dugan is the CEO and Senior Consultant of BtR Impact, LLC, a consulting and training company focused on helping leaders define success on their terms so they can live fulfilled, meaningful lives with impact and not lose their faith, their families, or their health.
