Thankyou for showing an interest to be a guest on the Grit Files.  Our sole intent is to share your story of resilience so that others may gain inspiration to be the best version of themselves.  All guest appearances on our podcast are conversations that are not scripted but are allowed to flow naturally.  To get ready here are some possible areas of that conversation.

Opening the Story

• Who are you?
• What has defined you?
• Can you take us back to a moment in your life when everything changed?
• What was the first sign that something in your life needed to shift?
• Who were you before the storm — and who are you becoming now?

In the Thick of It

• What did resilience look like for you in the messy middle?
• Were there moments when you wanted to give up? What kept you going?
• How did your body, mind, or spirit respond to the pressure?

Meaning-Making & Mindset

• What beliefs did you have to let go of to move forward?
• Was there a metaphor, mantra, or image that helped you reframe your experience?
• How has your understanding of strength or success evolved?

Turning Points & Breakthroughs

• Was there a moment when you realized you were healing — or had already begun?
• What surprised you most about your own capacity to adapt or grow?
• Who or what helped you rewrite your story?

Growth Forward

• What does post-traumatic growth mean to you, personally?
• How do you stay grounded now, especially when old patterns resurface?
• What practices, people, or places help you feel most like yourself?

Wisdom for the Listener

• What would you say to someone who’s still in the thick of it?
• What’s a truth you now hold that you wish you’d known earlier?
• If your story had a title today, what would it be?
