The Gray Space
Welcome to The Gray Space with Taryn and Julie!
We’re two friends who’ve teamed up to dive into faith-based conversations that explore life’s gray areas—those messy, complex spaces where healing, growth, and faith collide. Through personal stories, heartfelt discussions, and a deep focus on God’s Word, we aim to challenge and encourage you to grow in your walk with the Lord.
Our mission is simple: to see the Kingdom expand and to help people develop a more intimate, authentic relationship with God. Join us as we navigate life’s complexities together, leaning into grace and truth every step of the way. Let’s grow, heal, and walk closer with the Lord—together.
If you've been following along our journey for a while, yes, we've rebranded! We were previously The Pursuit of Me and have rebranded as The Gray Space.
Thank you for being here and for following along! If you've enjoyed listening, we'd love to hear from you!

Two Reasons Why It’s Difficult To Have Hard Conversations
Rejection
If you’ve faced enough moments where your emotions or ideas were dismissed, a pattern of anticipating rejection can develop. This often leads to avoiding necessary conversations altogether, creating anxiety and reinforcing a cycle of avoidance. Whether it’s overthinking what to say, second-guessing if it’s worth the effort, or reliving past dismissals, the fear of being shut down influences how we communicate—or choose not to. From personal relationships to workplace dynamics, rejection shapes our ability to open up and resolve issues effectively.
Fear
Whether it’s fear of the word “no” or the potential fallout of a tough conversation, this emotion stops us in our tracks. Fear can stem from past experiences, uncertainty about the outcome, or anticipating a difficult response from someone lacking emotional intelligence. Avoiding these discussions might seem easier in the moment, but it can lead to unresolved problems and missed opportunities for growth. Tune in as we unpack these barriers, share relatable examples, and offer practical ways to navigate these challenges with confidence.
Thanks for joining us as we navigate life together, leaning into grace and truth every step of the way. Let’s grow, heal, and walk closer with the Lord—together.
