The Grit and Grace Project was co-founded in 2011 by Darlene Brock with business partner and husband, Dan R Brock. The company, established to publish books, e-books, online magazine, podcasts and other materials, was created to inspire women to discover their inherent strength. In 2015 a separate company, under the same name, was launched as a 501c3 non-profit corporation. With this debut as a women’s online lifestyle magazine, thegritandgraceproject.org provides insights, how-to’s and tips on real beauty, relationships, work, finances, motherhood, purpose, and faith. The articles are written by real women who have discovered within themselves the grit and grace needed to conquer the challenges of a woman’s life. Every insight delivered in such a way that women feel encouraged and inspired, often laughing along the way. The next unveiling of The Grit and Grace Project was in Fall of 2017, producing This Grit and Grace Life Podcast, co-hosted by Darlene and Julie Graham. This cross-generational weekly podcast is like having a cup of coffee with your best friends, being part of the conversation as these ladies tackle hot-topics and issues facing all women, with occasional visits from great guests who will join to talk about some of the more difficult subjects. From the boardroom to the bedroom, car-lines to college, single married or single again you’ll leave each episode with women’s tips and advice on all things life. The most recent addition to the online magazine is the feature column, “Ask Dr. Zoe.” Each week Dr. Zoe Shaw, a licensed psychotherapist, will answer questions submitted by the readers about everything from relationships to parenting, self-worth to family dynamics. By offering this feature, The Grit and Grace Project has created a place where women can get answers. No matter what the undertaking The Grit and Grace Project entities have done or will do, all driven by the belief that true beauty is found in a woman’s strength.
