It’s been interesting to read back on my journal to see the deep dark place I was in a year ago this month. And as difficult as it’s been, I’ve been able to see how far I’ve come. And how far I have to go. But I’m putting the reps in and I don’t give up. God did not send me to fail.

The dreaded mediation has come and gone, but is it resolved and over?  4 years later and the litigation continues.  But hopefully coming to an end sooner than later.  We talk about expectations placed on women, frustrations with the inequality in the justice system, and digging out of the rubble when it seems like everything is going against you.

Dreading upcoming mediation but Julie has nothing to lose going in and she talks about why. Also a recap on the off the record event at Sundara held earlier, and can we just say Legos?

We're back in the closet baby. So many things to talk about and not enough time to do it. But it's real and raw and from the heart.  We talk about the neighbor tampering with an engine, more court updates, and the generosity of strangers.  It's a good one!

Today we get into the nitty gritty of the stalker next door.  And no matter how much evidence we have, or times he’s been arrested, or orders the police have to put him in jail, he always walks out the same day every time. It’s hard for find the justice in all of it, and wonder if any of it even matters?

I have been wanting to do this for a long time, and I suspect there will be many more opportunities.  I know people have questions. I want to answer them!  This is not to punish, "disparage" or "paint anyone in a bad light." It's matter of fact.  It's the truth.  It's what I have experienced.  And I hope it can help someone else.  Do you have more questions?  List them in the comments!

It was our pleasure to have Dana Tingey and Leah Moses on the podcast sharing their experience, knowledge and expertise about domestic abuse and the laws they are helping to pass to protect children. Specifically Om's Law.  It's been 3 years since Om died, and Leah expresses both the failures and the progress family court has made and how the battle continues to implement Om's Law with court professionals, judges, lawyers, and victims.  Dana is a domestic violence national expert and has helped thousands of women escape abusive partners safely and added safety measures to countless children trapped in family court.

In this episode, we talk honestly about the weight of raising 8 kids, surviving family court, trying to build something meaningful while barely staying afloat, and the reality that Julie's life has become unsustainable doing it alone. But this isn’t a pity story.
It’s about grit.
The Gritlock was created for women who refuse to collapse under pressure. Women rebuilding after betrayal, divorce, court battles, heartbreak, burnout, and survival mode. Women who still know there’s more in them.
If you’re tired of surface-level motivation and want real conversations, real growth, and real connection with women who get it — this is for you.
Welcome to the Gritlock.

Good thing Sundara Medical was able to provide Julie with some information about her health.  With psych evals, and stress from a lengthy trial, it affected her health in a negative way. We also talk about the upcoming event May 9th for women affected by family court and domestic abuse.  Check out the link to join the Gritty mamas movement!
