This Grit and Grace Life podcast turns ONE today! We’re like a wobbly toddler who’s just starting to get her stride. Since it is our birthday, we are throwing a party! Your co-hosts, Darlene and Julie, laugh, cry, and reminisce on what they’ve learned from a year of recording their conversations for you. This reflecting led Julie to provide an answer to an inevitable question, “People are asking how I’m doing. Being a part of The Grit and Grace Project and starting this show has been healing for me. I’m so thankful for all the support from our friends who listen.” This episode recounts the shows that have meant the most to them and why and also shares the fan-favorites. Darlene and Julie also gathered a few questions from the listeners and answered them with their signature honesty—something we believe you’ve come to expect and love from your co-hosts who are living a #gritandgracelife. Darlene actually said, “When Julie first pitched this idea I wondered how quickly we would run out of things to say. But as I look back at this year I can tell you that we’re just getting started!” They’re just like you, two ladies who are seeking to become strong women every single day. Celebrate with them and share the show with a friend.
