Grit & Grace is a podcast for anyone who wants to grow with both strength and sustainability. Hosted by an Australian accountant, each episode blends practical business strategy and money clarity with mindset and leadership tools — so you can build a profitable business, set boundaries that protect your time and energy, and lead with calm confidence.
If you’re ready to stop playing small and start building on your terms, press play!
Self-love isn’t just candles and comfort. It’s boundaries, follow through, and doing what needs to be done even when you don’t feel like it. In this episode of Grit and Grace, I unpack why discipline is the highest form of self-love - not as punishment, but as protection. We talk about the difference between rest and avoidance, how to rebuild trust with yourself one small promise at a time, and how structure can hold you steady when life feels heavy. If you’ve been waiting on motivation to change your habits, your health, your finances, or your healing. This is your wake up call.
In this episode:
Why “self-love” without discipline becomes self sabotage
How to stop negotiating with the comfort seeking version of you
Simple, realistic ways to build discipline (even on hard days)
The truth about minimum standards, boundaries, and self respect
Listen in, pick one promise to keep today, and start showing yourself real love - on purpose.

SOAR: Stories, Opportunities, Ambition & Resilience (Numbers Tell a Story, Courage Writes the Ending)
Numbers tell a story-but courage writes the ending. In this episode of Grit & Grace, I share a message inspired by a recent women-in-business event built around the theme SOAR: Stories, Opportunities, Ambition and Resilience. We talk about the chapters people don’t see behind the success, why ambition isn’t a dirty word, how opportunities often arrive disguised as disruption, and what resilience really looks like in the everyday moments when you keep going anyway.
If you’ve been feeling stretched, uncertain, or on the edge of your next level, this episode is your reminder: you don’t have to be perfectly ready-you become ready by taking the step.
In this episode:
The real story behind the spreadsheets
SOAR as a framework for the season you’re in
Redirection vs rejection-and when to build your own door
A simple takeaway to help you choose your next right step
Listen now, and if it resonates, share it with a woman who needs the reminder.

The Light in the Window of My Heart — One Year On
This is a deeply personal episode of Grit & Grace.
Marking one year since the sudden passing of her husband, Donagh steps away from business to share a heartfelt tribute to love, marriage, grief and the identity shift that comes with becoming a widow.
In this episode, Donagh reflects on what it means to lose the person you built your life with, the courage it takes to keep going, and the quiet strength involved in learning to live a life that includes such a profound absence. She also shares the story behind her new book, The Light in the Window of My Heart — a collection of poems written during the first year of grief.
This is an episode about love that does not end, healing that does not mean forgetting, and finding light even in the darkest seasons. It is offered with honesty and tenderness for anyone who has loved deeply, lost someone, or is walking beside someone who is grieving.
Content note: This episode discusses sudden loss, grief and bereavement. Please listen gently and only when you feel ready.
