Grit and Glow is where softness gets smart. Hosted by Loran Wilson — founder of luxury body care brand Address Oasis — this show unpacks what happens when women stop outsourcing their worth and start rebuilding rituals that actually work. Not another podcast telling you to take a bubble bath. Each episode is part permission slip, part pattern interrupt, for the woman who's done performing wellness and is ready to live it. Deeply. Honestly. On her terms.

Episode 3: Loving the Version of You That Had to Survive

#3: Loving the Version of You That Had to Survive

Some parts of us didn’t thrive — they endured. And that version? She wasn’t broken. She was brilliant at staying alive.

There’s a version of you you’ve been trying to outgrow — the one who overgave, overfunctioned, and silenced her softness to stay safe. In this episode of Grit & Glow, we talk about what it really means to honor the woman who got you here. Because healing isn’t just about who you’re becoming. It’s about softening toward who you were.

You’ll hear:

Why your “messy” past self may have been your most brilliant
How survival mode shaped your nervous system
Why rejecting your old self creates shallow healing
A simple writing ritual to begin softening that story
A Glow Question to help you rethink what strength really looks like

Ritual of the Week:

Write a short thank-you note to the version of you who had to survive. You don’t have to mail it. Just acknowledge her. She wasn’t your failure — she was your foundation.
