What allowed you to find your GRIT?
I believe we are born with Grit. Throughout life we are broken down and molded by our culture to be less gritty, more palatable. I returned to my Grit out of necessity. As an adult with a career, a husband and children, I lost myself. I felt disconnected from the very core of who I was. I dug deep, tapped into my inner Grit and did the work restoring myself from the ground up.

What are you grateful for?
I am grateful for my boys, they keep me present and grounded. They are my constant reminder that mental and physical health are worth investing in every single day.

One quote, one piece of advice or one bit of wisdom that you believe in and tell yourself daily:
You have yet to meet a challenge you could not face, today is no exception.
