Welcome to The Grit Diaries: From Grit to Grace, a podcast where resilience meets real life. Hosted by dynamic duo Mon and Mazz, we shine a light on the powerful, untold stories of people who have overcome adversity, hardship, and life's toughest challenges - with grit, heart, and grace. Each episode, we sit down with unsung heroes from all walks of life to explore their journeys through struggle, survival, and transformation. These are raw, honest conversations that go beyond the headlines - stories that inspire, challenge, and remind us of the strength within us all. Whether it's bouncing back from rock bottom, navigating personal loss, or turning pain into purpose, The Grit Diaries is a tribute to the human spirit - and a space where vulnerability meets victory. Real stories. Real people. Real resilience. Subscribe, listen, and join us on the journey from Grit to Grace. The Grit Diaries is a flagship series within the Kintsugi Heroes network — built on the belief that the most powerful stories aren't the polished ones, they're the honest ones. Through Mon and Mazz's warm, no-filter conversations, our guests share the moments most people don't talk about: the rock-bottom days, the quiet rebuilds, the family they leaned on, the help they finally asked for, and the small wins that turned into whole new lives. This isn't a series about perfect comebacks or neat endings. It's about real people doing the hard, messy, beautiful work of becoming themselves again — and the grace that's found on the other side of grit. Whether you're walking through something heavy right now, supporting someone who is, or simply need a reminder that you're not alone, The Grit Diaries is for you. Kintsugi Heroes is an Australian not-for-profit (DGR endorsed) dedicated to strengthening mental wellbeing through the power of storytelling. We believe lived experience is a gift to be shared, not a scar to be hidden. To find out more about Kintsugi Heroes and our other podcast series, head to KintsugiHeroes.com.au.

  • Michelle Gregory on Rebuilding After Trauma, Three Times Over
    2026/10/06
    What the cracks taught me ⚠️ Content advisory: this episode discusses abuse, addiction, violence, which some listeners may find distressing. If you need support, you're not alone. Help is available:• Lifeline (24/7 crisis support): 13 11 14 · lifeline.org.au Michelle grew up in a broken home, moved in with her father at 11 to escape neglect, then endured two abusive relationships as an adult, one physically and emotionally violent for four years, another involving addiction and financial control. After leaving the second relationship, she set a five-year goal to build a house and open a cafe, achieving it in four. The business thrived in Port Noarlunga until a structural failure forced closure; she was then given poor legal and accounting advice that led to liquidation in 2024. Rather than stay stuck, she retrained as a nutritionist, started a vending-machine business focused on healthy hospital food, and built Elevate Capacity to teach young people entrepreneurship and self-discovery. She now frames each setback as material for the next chapter, anchored by her father's family motto: Spero meliora, hope for better things, aspire to better yourself, inspire others. Michelle Gregory is a nutritionist, entrepreneur, and founder of Elevate Capacity, a capability-building organisation for young people and women. She is a domestic abuse survivor who has rebuilt her life multiple times, most recently after losing her cafe business in Port Noarlunga to a structural failure in 2024. She now coaches others through adversity using nutrition, breathwork, and her own lived experience. In this Grit Diaries conversation with Mon & Mazz, Michelle shares the story behind the moments below. 🎙️ IN THIS CONVERSATION:• Resilience is built through repeated setbacks and choices to move forward, not innate; Michelle rebuilt her life three times after different fractures. 🕒 CHAPTERS:00:00 Family motto: hope for better things04:41 Growing up in a broken home, choosing safety08:00 High school chaos: father's heart attack and stroke09:49 House fire and homelessness15:20 The three major fractures17:13 Police rejection after domestic abuse25:51 COVID pivot: camping trailer to cafe29:40 Roof collapse and business loss36:37 Meeting her husband, starting over again42:24 Vending machines and Good Shepherd support52:57 Elevate Capacity: teaching young people56:03 Final wisdom: resilience, help, and Spero meliora 🎧 If this story moved you, follow Kintsugi Heroes in your podcast app so you never miss an episode. 📌 RESOURCES MENTIONED:Lifeline Australia: 13 11 14Beyond Blue: 1300 22 4636 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ABOUT KINTSUGI HEROES━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Welcome.

Help is available:• Lifeline (24/7 crisis support): 13 11 14 · lifeline.org.auJayne Myer Tucker grew up in rural South Australia with British parents, married her childhood sweetheart, and worked as a hairdresser until a car accident on 15 December 1987 killed her husband and left her severely injured with no use of her arms. At 23, facing a widow's grief and the loss of her career, she made a conscious choice between sinking into despair or swimming toward a radically different life. She left Australia, lived in the UK for over 20 years, built a career in fitness, public health, and governance, and discovered late that her lifelong seizures were congenital epilepsy, not post-traumatic. After completing a PhD on decision-making at the local level, she returned to Australia and now works as a board member, community advocate, and legacy elder exploring how relationship capital can serve future generations facing AI and rapid social change.Dr. Jayne Myer Tucker is an Australian public health researcher, former CEO of a national charity, and epilepsy advocate.

  • Grit Diaries: Harrison Nash on Building a Children's Home from Nothing, and Grief and Loss During COVID
    2026/09/08
    Finding hope in the hopeless ⚠️ Content advisory: this episode discusses abuse & exploitation, which some listeners may find distressing. If you need support, you're not alone. Help is available:• Blue Knot Foundation (complex trauma): 1300 657 380 · blueknot.org.au• 1800RESPECT (family, domestic & sexual violence): 1800 737 732 · 1800respect.org.au Harrison was headed for a media career in London until, at 17, he deferred his university place to volunteer in South Africa as a teacher and children's home worker. A four-month stint changed everything. Watching children who had experienced profound trauma still show up with engagement and positivity, and sitting with the weight of leaving them behind, crystallised his purpose: these children should not have people come in and out of their lives. He returned to the UK, started Maranatha Care Children from scratch on Google, and enrolled in social work simultaneously. Nineteen years on, he has built a residential centre that admits children from across South Africa, exposed them to mentorship, vocational training, and real opportunity. COVID forced an overhaul: younger children arrived in crisis, he coordinated schooling across ten institutions, managed grief and loss, and watched young people he'd met at 18 now forge adult lives and careers. He returned to Plymouth last year but remains deeply embedded in the work. Harrison Nash is a UK-based charity director and social work supervisor who founded Maranatha Care Children in South Africa 19 years ago after a gap-year volunteering stint at 18. 🕒 CHAPTERS:00:00 The interview begins05:23 Growing up in Plymouth: media, music, and family08:13 First day teaching in South Africa: 40 kids, no co-teacher09:56 Walking into Maranatha: the moment everything shifted11:41 The boy who didn't understand goodbye13:00 Founding a charity on Google while studying social work18:29 The Queen's Honours and COVID lockdown22:00 Suddenly younger children: the reality of crisis25:19 Loving at social distance: grief during lockdown29:30 From the streets to the five-star kitchen39:30 The medal came home to the children41:45 How to support the work: next steps 🎧 If this story moved you, follow Kintsugi Heroes in your podcast app so you never miss an episode. 📌 RESOURCES MENTIONED:Maranatha Care Children: maranathaforcarechildren.comLifeline Australia: 13 11 14 or text 0477 131114 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ABOUT KINTSUGI HEROES━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Welcome.
