About Us

Life is full of obstacles, setbacks, ups and downs. I've always been very resilient and determined but at 50 years old and 25+ years in nursing and healthcare I had a mid-life wakeup call and decided it was time for me to step away from healthcare and start my own business.

Throughout my healthcare career, particularly my years as an oncology nurse, I have seen first-hand how important grit, resilience, and mindset are to patient outcomes.  Perspective is EVERYTHING!  This applies to everyday life as well.

Obstacles and setbacks are inevitable in life and relative to each individual. Some days those setbacks are life changing, some days they are a just a slight inconvenience. It is how we choose to view and navigate those obstacles that defines us and our character.  You can either learn and grow from adversity or ignore it and hit the same obstacles over and over, until you learn the underlying lessons, make the necessary changes and grow from the experience.

Gritty Resilience was created to represent the unwavering drive to persevere, to overcome adversity with grit, tenacity and a willingness to learn and grow from setbacks. 

With every design and piece of apparel I create, I hope to spread this message and encourage you to embrace your own gritty resilience, trust the process, and kick ass daily!

Without adversity, there is no strength!
