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.

    Deborah Weed: The 1943 Penny, a Health Collapse, and the Difference Between Self-Esteem and Self-Worth | Grit Diaries

    ⚠️ Content advisory: this episode discusses mental health & wellbeing, 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.auFor ten years, Deborah climbed the corporate ladder at Citibank, building a high-profile career to escape the label of sensitivity. She learned to equate self-esteem with achievement, never smiling at her desk, performing a version of herself that felt increasingly hollow. Then came three years of debilitating, misdiagnosed illness: severe pain, hemorrhaging, doctors telling her it was MS, Lou Gehrig's disease, or all in her head. Bedridden and alone, everything she had built her identity on was stripped away. In that crisis, she heard about a 1943 copper penny worth a million dollars, and the metaphor cracked something open. She realised she had never learned self-worth, only self-esteem. She wrote a children's book, Paisley's Last Quill, about a porcupine who gives away her power piece by piece. Now she is developing a Broadway-scale musical based on the story, determined to teach others what took her a health collapse to learn.Deborah Weed is a US-based former corporate executive who spent a decade at Citibank leading multimillion-dollar projects before a three-year health crisis forced her to confront the difference between achievement and intrinsic worth. She is now a creative entrepreneur, children's book author, and founder of Quills Up, a movement centred on reclaiming personal power through self-worth.In this Grit Diaries conversation with Mon & Mazz, Deborah shares the story behind the moments below.🎙️ IN THIS CONVERSATION:• Self-esteem is built on achievement and requires constant proof; self-worth is intrinsic and survives when everything external is stripped away.🕒 CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction to Deborah Weed and her Broadway dreams03:07 How sensitivity became a wound that drove her corporate climb04:27 The misalignment of heart in a brain-focused corporate world05:04 Self-esteem vs. self-worth: the distinction that matters08:54 What true self-worth looks like when achievement is stripped away10:47 Three years bedridden: the fracture that changed everything13:28 The 1943 penny: the metaphor that saved her life18:23 Paisley's Last Quill: turning pain into a story about reclaiming power22:20 From children's book to Broadway dreams: the musical and the challenge of funding26:01 Her father's wisdom on disappointment as the real barrier to perseverance29:44 The cork that keeps bubbling: knowing what you're meant to do31:22 Closing: gratitude and the power of stories that touch us🎧 If this story moved you, follow Kintsugi Heroes in your podcast app so you never miss an episode.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ABOUT KINTSUGI HEROES━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Welcome.We're glad you found your way here.Kintsugi Heroes was created from a simple belief: every person has a story worth sharing, and sometimes the story we need to hear arrives exactly when we need it most.Our name comes from the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with gold.

    Roula Selinas: 19 Years Post-Transplant, Two Cancers, and the One Thing She Could Control
    2026/06/30
    ⚠️ Content advisory: this episode discusses grief, 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.auIn April 2007, Rula's world fractured when she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. What followed was eight months of intensive chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant using a donor from Germany who was only 80 percent compatible. The transplant triggered graft versus host disease twice, steroid-induced diabetes, five eye surgeries, a mini-stroke, and a year-long hospital stay. Years later, just as she'd rebuilt her strength and fitness, she was diagnosed with secondary cancer. Through it all, Rula held fast to one practice: controlling what she could control-her mind. She learned to break recovery into one step at a time, lean on faith and hope, build a support network, and transform her pain into purpose. Now 19 years post-transplant, she runs a counselling practice and has written Stronger, a guide to healing from adversity.Rula Selinas is a counsellor, life coach, author, and founder of Transform Counselling and Coaching on the Gold Coast. A two-time cancer survivor who navigated acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and bone marrow transplant in 2007-2008, then secondary cancer years later, she channels her lived experience into guiding clients through adversity and building resilience.In this Grit Diaries conversation with Mon & Mazz, Roula shares the story behind the moments below.🎙️ IN THIS CONVERSATION:• Mental control is agency: when your body is under siege, the mind is the one place…🕒 CHAPTERS:00:00 Welcome to The Grit Diaries03:20 Childhood in Haverfield: Milk Bar, Books, and Belonging08:00 After High School: Admin, Business, Personal Development13:00 Understanding Bone Marrow Transplant and the Catch-22 of Survival15:50 The Cascade: Graft Versus Host, Diabetes, Stroke, and What Came After17:00 Mental Control: The One Thing She Could Govern18:40 Ten Years to Rebuild: Relationship Breakdown and Finding Purpose on the Kayak20:00 One Step at a Time: From Walking to Kayaking22:50 Secondary Cancer: The Second Fracture and a Calling to Study27:00 The Sacred Role of Support Networks and How to Ask for Help31:00 Presence Over Words: The Power of Sitting, Silence, and Touch34:50 Closing: Transform Counselling, Breaking Barriers, and Rula's Gift🎧 If this story moved you, follow Kintsugi Heroes in your podcast app so you never miss an episode.🌐 CONNECT WITH ROULA SELINAS:Transform Counselling and Coaching: www.transformcounsellingcoaching.com.au━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ABOUT KINTSUGI HEROES━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Welcome.We're glad you found your way here.Kintsugi Heroes was created from a simple belief: every person has a story worth sharing, and sometimes the story we need to hear arrives exactly when we need it most.Our name comes from the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with gold.

    Fire Horse: Going Through Fire to Become Pure Gold | Ingrid Hu Dahl | Grit Diaries⚠️ Content advisory: this episode discusses grief & loss, 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• GriefLine: 1300 845 745 · griefline.org.auIngrid grew up as a mixed-race child in New Jersey, retreating into horses and later punk rock music to survive feeling othered by adults and society. She came out as a lesbian in her mid-20s, facing rejection from her mother. Years later, after moving apart and her mother's battle with cancer, they reconciled through open-heartedness and forgiveness. In her mother's final years, despite COVID restrictions limiting visits, they rebuilt their relationship from soul to soul. After her mother's passing, Ingrid wrote her memoir and became a grief coach, learning that walking through fire refines us into gold.Ingrid Hu Dahl is an American TEDx speaker, author, ICF-certified leadership and grief coach, and lifelong musician who has toured internationally with multiple bands. She wrote Sun Shining on Morning Snow, a memoir exploring identity, grief, and reconciliation with her mother, and has directed short films on mixed-race representation and experience.In this Grit Diaries conversation with Mon & Mazz, Ingrid shares the story behind the moments below.🎙️ IN THIS CONVERSATION:• Being othered as a child for your identity teaches you to read subtlety and energy, skills that later become invaluable in coaching and human connection.• Coming out authentically, even when facing rejection, creates the possibility for deeper reconciliation later because you refuse to diminish yourself.• Grief and identity loss can catalyze profound growth, especially when you're willing to write your story and integrate what you've learned.• Forgiveness and reconciliation often require the person who rejected you to choose openness first, but you can still hold the door…🕒 CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction and Ingrid's Background04:35 Growing Up Mixed-Race on the East Coast06:44 Horses as Refuge and Nonverbal Communication10:13 Finding Voice Through Punk, Grunge and Riot Grrrl13:40 Coming Out and Complex Family Dynamics17:33 Mother's Rejection and the Long Separation22:33 The Reconciliation Begins: Mother Reaches Out24:35 Cancer, COVID, and Final Moments Together26:30 The Book and Its Symbolism28:22 Fire, Gold and the Year of the Fire Horse31:13 Leadership Lessons and Writing Through Grief36:34 Closing Thoughts on Authenticity and Hope🎧 If this story moved you, follow Kintsugi Heroes in your podcast app so you never miss an episode.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ABOUT KINTSUGI HEROES━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Welcome.We're glad you found your way here.Kintsugi Heroes was created from a simple belief: every person has a story worth sharing, and sometimes the story we need to hear arrives exactly when we need it most.Our name comes from the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with gold.
