At Grit and Grace Life, we talk about all aspects of a woman’s life, down to the little pleasures like makeup and fashion.

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!

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.
