#2: Talk to Yourself Like You’re Worth Keeping

What if the mean voice in your head isn’t who you are—it’s what you were trained to believe? This episode helps you begin the gentle work of unlearning it.

This week, we’re getting honest about the voice that lives in your head. The one no one else hears but you. The one that speaks when you're rushing, behind, or feeling like you should be doing better. We’re unpacking why that voice sounds like pressure, panic, or shame—and how to soften it without pretending. If you’ve ever wanted to feel safe inside your own mind, this episode is for you.

You’ll hear:

• ​Why your inner voice feels so harsh and where it really came from
• ​A powerful reframe about survival, safety, and nervous system protection
• ​A personal story that reveals how quickly we discount our own effort
• ​A small ritual that helps you shift your tone before your day even starts
• ​A soft reflection to carry with you: What has your inner voice been repeating lately, and who taught it to say that?

Ritual of the Week:

Before you check your phone in the morning, say one kind sentence out loud to yourself. Something like “Today is allowed to feel slow” or “This version of me is worth keeping.” Let it be simple. Let it be true.

#1: Let's talk about the part of healing no one claps for.

This isn’t the part you post about. It’s the part before the glow — the exhaustion, the burnout, the quiet questioning of “Is this really how it’s supposed to feel?”

In this first episode of Grit & Glow, I’m sharing the story behind Address Oasis — how it started in survival mode, why women kept skipping steps in their rituals, and what it really means to build softness when life keeps asking for grit.

This isn’t about motivation. It’s about a moment that feels like home.

You’ll hear:

• ​Why your rituals feel too heavy, and what that’s actually about
• ​How body care became more than skincare
• ​What I realized about saving yourself through simple acts
• ​A small ritual to reset your week
• ​A gentle question to carry with you

Ritual of the Week

Sit down with nothing in your hands. Just 60 seconds of stillness. No distractions. Let your body catch up with the rest of you.

Grit & Glow is powered by Address Oasis — because you deserve a sanctuary, not another to-do list.

Welcome to Grit and Glow — the podcast. Created by Loran Wilson, founder of Address Oasis®, this show is your invitation to take the weight off… and come home to yourself.

This is not another podcast about productivity disguised as self-care. It’s not another “morning routine” checklist.

Grit & Glow was born from the same place that Address Oasis came from: exhaustion, healing, and the quiet ache of realizing you’ve been showing up for everything and everyone except yourself.

In this very first episode, I’m telling the truth behind why I created this space — and why I waited years to release it.

Because for many of us, slowing down feels inconvenient. Rest feels like something you have to earn. Softness feels unsafe.

And yet — we crave it.

This trailer is a breath, a moment to reset. A reminder that body care isn’t about performance, and neither is healing.

I created Grit & Glow for the woman who’s tired of the pressure to do it all while pretending she’s fine. For the woman who wants to feel something again. Who wants to move slower, softer, smarter.

In every episode, we’ll talk about the rituals that hold you, not the ones that sell you.

We’ll explore nourishment, identity, loneliness, boundaries, and beauty that starts beneath the skin. We’ll name the unspoken truths, and we’ll do it without judgment.

This is where the hard things and the beautiful things meet.

If you’re a high-performing woman who’s been carrying too much for too long — this podcast is for you.

Listen to the trailer. Take a breath. And if it resonates, come back for episode one.

Because the glow isn’t something you earn. It’s something you return to.

✨ New episodes drop Sundays, starting May 18.
