• 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
