🌿About From Grit to Grace
Welcome — I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.
From Grit to Grace🦉is a space for those of us navigating the messy, beautiful, in-between moments of life — the quiet whispers of change, the stories we carry, the beliefs we’re unearthing and the selves we’re still discovering.
It’s for those who are done striving. For those who feel pulled between timelines and tasks. For those who are tired of bending into roles. For those longing for something better. For thinkers, feelers, and quietly rebellious hearts.
Here I write with heart, hoping it lands gently in yours. I write about:
Identity, belonging and personal transformation
The quiet power of self-inquiry and storytelling
Old wounds and cultural conditioning
Generational inheritance - what we carry and pass on
Emotional resilience and healing
You’ll find personal reflections, poetic prose and deeply human moments. May you become inspired to slow down, listen to the whispers within and explore your truth.
✨Why “From Grit to Grace”?
Because life asks a lot of us. We’ve pushed through, held it all together, smiled when we were breaking — grit. But what if there’s another way? A softer path. One of deep listening, trust, healing and inner sovereignty — grace.
And — because I am endlessly curious about truth, conditioning and secrets, about the slow, sacred work of excavation. Of unearthing the parts of ourselves that we forgot or hid. Of digging through grit to find grace.
“To trust the truth of a thing, you have to suffer the thing. You have to get mud on your hands and dirt under your fingernails. You have to dig for it.”
Sarah Pinborough, Behind Her Eyes

🍃About Edel
Hi, I am Edel - a mother, soul seeker & soul seer.
I moved in the fast lane of the tech world for 20 years, spending over a decade at Google until that quiet knowing that something had to give turned into a scream. I am now a psychotherapist in training, inviting stories of pain, identity, loss & longing to unfold. I loves the way the arts - music, a play, a book or a quote can touch your soul. These moments are often clues in the slow sacred work of excavation.
I am in the final stages of a MSC in Pluralistic Counselling and Psychotherapy, where I’m researching burnout in mothers that work outside the home — a subject close to both my heart and history.
If something here resonates, I’d love for you to subscribe. Let’s walk this journey From Grit to Grace together.
