I was just trying to name what it felt like to keep showing up when life knocks you flat. And the only words that fit? Holy Grit.
It’s the kind of strength that doesn’t come from muscles or medals—it’s born from raising kids when your heart’s breaking, keeping the ranch running when the budget’s tight, and rebuilding when everything you planned goes sideways. It’s grace under fire. It’s faith when no one else sees the full story. And it’s where I’ve been living lately.
That’s why I recorded the Holy Grit episode on The Western Legacy Podcast »—because I know I’m not the only one. And if those words stirred something in you too? This blog is for us.
What Holy Grit Really Means to Me
It’s not just resilience. It’s not just hustle. It’s something deeper—like a calling to carry your legacy through the fire without letting it consume you.
I think about my daughters watching. I think about what it means to live out strength without bitterness, to soften instead of shut down. That’s Holy Grit. It’s both hands dirty, but your heart still open. It’s knowing you’re walking through something refining, not just surviving.
Who This Is For (And Why I See You)
If you’ve ever poured your coffee into the same chipped mug every morning and whispered, “Lord, help me do it again,” this message is yours too.
You might be:
- A ranch wife keeping the gates shut and the prayers going
- A mom homeschooling by faith and fumes
- A woman re-entering the world she once paused for someone else’s dreams
- Or maybe you’re just quietly holding it all together while no one’s clapping
I see you—because I am you. And Holy Grit was never meant to be a polished slogan. It’s a scarred-up badge of honor.
The Podcast That Started The Fire
When I hit publish on the Holy Grit episode », I wasn’t sure anyone would even notice. But within hours, I heard from women who said: “That’s it. That’s what I’ve been feeling. That’s the phrase I didn’t know I needed.”
And that’s when I realized… this isn’t just a blog post or a tee shirt coming soon. It’s a legacy marker. A line in the sand.

Legacy In The Firelight
I keep coming back to this: legacy isn’t about big, flashy moments. It’s in how we show up daily—in the dirt, in the dishes, in the devotionals no one sees. That’s where our daughters are watching. That’s where our faith is built. That’s where Holy Grit takes root.
This message is baked into everything I teach—whether it’s on legacy coaching calls, in the What Do You Stand For? freebie pack, or in conversations around the barn with my kids.
