In this episode, I dive into the truth about grit—what it really means, how it’s built, and why the messy middle is where your strength is forged.
From diamonds formed under pressure to clay hardened by fire, we explore how adversity refines us. I share personal stories from growing up with a single mom, navigating scarcity, and learning how to adapt, pivot, and get sharp.
Grit isn’t something you’re born with—it’s earned in the fire. And once you’ve got it, it becomes your superpower.
