Instagram Twitter Youtube Pinterest 32. Grit and Grace with Amberly Lago The most powerful women out there handle whatever is thrown at them with grace AND grit! That’s especially true for, @amberlylagomotivation, author and motivational speaker and the Host of the True Grit and Grace Podcast. Her best-selling book, Grit and Grace: Turning Tragedy Into Triumph tells the story of how her life was forever altered by a devastating motorcycle accident, and the victory she discovered through her recovery. In her memoir, she weaves the tale of her childhood and early adulthood alongside the grueling process of healing from 34 surgeries and being diagnosed with Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). Amberly inspires readers to thrive, even when their circumstances have narrowed their possibilities, and delivers hope and encouragement to everyone. She’s appeared on The Doctors, the Today Show in Health and Shape Magazine among many others. She’s also divorced twice and now married again so I just had to have her here. Her story is one of resilience, determination and of course, grit with a dose of grace and one you won’t want to miss.  Guest Contact Info IG: https://www.instagram.com/amberlylagomotivation/ Book: https://www.amazon.com/

This week’s episode on the Grace & Grit Podcast is the final installment of the Self-Leadership (and why it matters to your health) theme, and I am talking about the two final pillars: self-compassion & self-discipline (aka Grace & Grit). We need BOTH grace (self-compassion) and grit (self-discipline) to live a healthy, joyous life. The hard part is embracing the quality that doesn’t come as natural to you and not misuse the one that does. As a health coach, I have seen women manipulate self-love into rationalizing why they shouldn’t have to apply the self-discipline that will help them get happier or healthier. And I have witnessed women use self-discipline to the point of self-destruction because they clearly lack love for themselves. I am a champion for residing in the space between self-love and self-discipline, which is why I named my company Grace & Grit. One without the other will cage what is possible for your life. Listen in to this episode to hear more about my thoughts on this and learn a few of my favorite strategies for finding your balance between the two. https://graceandgrit.com/podcast-162/   **** Are you loving the Grace and Grit Podcast?  Help us keep the mic on!

How do we raise girls to honor the needs of their body, mind, and soul? How do we raise girls to develop deep self-respect and self-love? How do we raise girls to build resilience against “diet culture”? We lead from the front, of course. Regardless of whether or not we have daughters. What would a girl learn from you about self-care, self-respect or even self-love if she observed you for a day? That is a powerful thing to consider if you are someone who recognizes that women are more than a body and deserve more than what the diet culture has offered them. In this episode of the Grace and Grit Podcast, I explore the challenges girls are facing in today’s culture and how we can show them, by example, what it means to direct yourself with Grace & Grit.
