I wanted to bring this guest on as a snapshot of a woman of strength while also highlighting that we don't always recognize the qualities in us that create strength.

Julie Graham is the co-host of the This Grit & Grace Life Podcast and she's the social media maven for the The Grit and Project® online women's magazine. She is also a mama of one and a young widow who recently competed in a fitness competition; which I find incredibly inspiring.

In this episode, Julie discusses her unstable and heartbreaking childhood, how her childhood impacted her dating life, the moment she realized she needed to demand respect in her marriage, the circumstances that led to become a young widow, how she's managed to stay positive and find the strength to encourage others after all she's endured, the importance of staying in and being grateful for the present moment, and so much more!
