  • GRIT = Growth, Resilience, Intentionality, Tenacity—a life and leadership framework rooted in faith

  • Growth isn’t just what you accomplish; it’s about who you become in the process

  • Resilience isn’t about being “fine”—it’s about choosing to stay in it and keep going with God

  • Intentionality begins with how you start your day

  • Tenacity is spirit-fueled obedience, not hustle culture grind

  • Leading others starts with how you lead yourself—especially in motherhood and business

  • Jesus models self-leadership: stepping away, resting, prioritizing prayer

  • Your vessel needs to be full to pour out—overflow matters



“It's not just about going through the season—it's about growing through the season.” — Linzie Hermsmeyer “GRIT isn't just about toughness. It's about grace, too. Real grit is God-led resilience.” — Tamra Andress
