The Stretch Between Grit and Grace
You know this place. That aching space between who you were told to be…and the truth you’re still learning how to live.
The systems you once shaped your life around no longer make sense…but the new way of being still feels tender, raw, and out of reach.
It’s not just burnout.
It’s what happens when you see too much, feel too much…and keep returning to spaces that can’t hold your fire.
It’s disorienting and raw…like being mid-metamorphosis in public, tender and half-formed, while the world keeps asking for the polished version.
You’re unraveling and becoming, all at once.
That’s the moment this podcast was born from.
From Grit to Grace isn’t a project. It’s a companion. A recalibration station. A space to remember what your nervous system has been trying to tell you:
You’re not broken. You’re becoming.
The first episode is now live ~ not a grand launch, but a quiet threshold, held open.
In this opening episode, we stand at the edge of the known. With ocean on our toes, old shoes at our backs, and the Shearwater flying overhead. This offering is a contemplative piece—part metaphor map, part blessing, meant to companion you on the road ahead.
But more than that, this episode is also a call. And you, dear listener, are not just a guest. You might just be a first responder…not to emergency, but to emergence. To what is being born in you, and in the world.

Come if it calls. Stay if it resonates. Let your soul speak again.
If something stirs, I’d love to hear what it echoes back.
With reverence from the stretch,
