Episode 97 self respect

This Grit and Grace Life Podcast Preview – Episode 97 Get It Girl! How Self-Respect Can Change Your Life

In a society where we see so much of others’ prim and perfect lives (hello, social media!), we’re often led to wonder where we went wrong. We might see our shortcomings more than our successes, and we may have had people in our lives who loved to point them out. It’s no wonder that healthy self-respect is hard to find these days. Whether you know it or not, you deserve more. You’re worthy of the best life has to offer, and if you want others to respect you, you need to respect yourself first. In this podcast episode, Darlene and Julie discuss how to find your confidence and why you need to carry yourself with self-respect in all areas of your life.

Episode 92 Proverbs 31 woman

This Grit and Grace Life Podcast Preview – Episode 92 Are You the Proverbs 31 Woman? Should You Be?

Ahh, the Proverbs 31 woman. We’ve all heard of her—a beautiful, hardworking wife and mother, who spends her days managing her household and curating nutritious meals for her family, all while dressed in luxurious purple silk. She seems like a fantasy, a perfect woman, and there seems to be so much pressure among Christian women to fit in that mold. What if you don’t feel like a Proverbs 31 woman? Maybe you’re a single mom, or you work from home. Do you fit in this category, and should you try? In reality, God has called us each to a different path that may not be identical to that of the lovely lady in the Proverbs, but she exists in each of us

But she tells her story to offer hope to the many of us who ask the age-old question: Is there any way to move on from my past? The answer is yes.

Inner beauty

A Woman’s Inner Strength and Beauty

At Grit and Grace Life, we talk about all aspects of a woman’s life, down to the little pleasures like makeup and fashion. But we also like to focus on a woman’s inner beauty—the strength she exudes during a difficult phase of life, like loss and divorce. Or the patience she exemplifies while raising children and focusing on her career. While there is nothing wrong with enjoying makeup and fashion, beauty is also found in the intangible. Witnessing a woman walk through life with strength and confidence is something that can’t be bought!
