The Grit & Grace Podcast
Real Women. Real Conversations. Full Lives.
Because no one's just wearing one hat, and these women are here to talk about all of it.
Hosted by Dana Lyons, The Grit & Grace Podcast brings you real, unfiltered conversations with women who are leading, building, navigating change, and living busy, multi-faceted lives. These aren't just interviews. They're honest, life-giving conversations about what it means to show up with faith, courage, and purpose, through every season and assignment.
From building businesses without losing yourself, to balancing marriage, motherhood, and ambition, to walking through menopause and midlife shifts with boldness and grace, this podcast is for women who are done living small.
What you'll hear:
–Bold steps outside comfort zones
–Stories of reinvention, risk, and renewal
–Career pivots, personal growth, and purpose-driven leadership
–Faith-forward wisdom for navigating business and life
–The messy, meaningful behind-the-scenes that don't make it to Instagram–but
matter the most.
If you're looking for insight, encouragement, and the kind of truth that doesn't need a filter, you're in the right place.
Hit play. We're just getting started.
