Welcome to GRIT Unleashed! This podcast serves as a platform for those that need connection to peer groups for support through various life stages. Aimed at those in military and civil services as well as veterans, this podcast gives a sounding board to tell our stories and connect with the parts of us we don't say to anyone or out loud to ourselves.
Hello and welcome back to another episode of GRIT Unleashed! It's been a while but we are happy to be back. This month, Sarah interviews Dr. Lance Cutsforth who is a former Army soldier and current holistic practitioner. They discuss health as a whole that encompasses more than just physical health, taking responsibility for your own mental well being, and how those in a supporting role can help those who are struggling.

Episode 2 - What is GRIT?
Welcome back to the GRIT Unleashed podcast! This week, Nacho and I define a major term you will hear throughout the podcast recordings: GRIT. What is GRIT? Why is GRIT so important? How does the definition of GRIT differ here at the UT2 versus what the rest of the world defines GRIT as? Most importantly, we cover what it takes to possess GRIT and how to develop a resilient lifestyle to help you move over the potential hurdles that can come up in life, but that it is also okay to lean on others for help and support.
