From Grit to Grace
A soulful newsletter for reflection, reconnection & growth.
A weekly sanctuary for your inbox
The world constantly asks you to go faster; I invite you to go deeper. From Grit to Grace is a quiet invitation to stop, breathe, and listen to what is happening "under the bonnet."
Three times a month, I share honest reflections on four themes that bring together science, story and soul. Join a community of over 260 high-performers, parents, and deep-thinkers as we move away from the exhaustion of constant "grit" and toward a life of grounded conviction. No life-hacks, no jargon, and no "hustle" - just a steady path through burnout, belonging, and the journey back to yourself.
These reflections are free for everyone. A paid subscription is a gentle way to support the research and the ritual for those who wish to walk this path a little more closely.
