apparel with purpose

Life is full of obstacles, setbacks, and unexpected turns. After 25+ years in nursing and healthcare—much of it as an oncology nurse—I witnessed firsthand how mindset, grit, and resilience impact outcomes. At 50, I had a mid-life wake-up call and knew it was time to step away from healthcare and take on a new challenge.

That turning point inspired me to create something that could carry forward the lessons I’d seen in my career. Gritty Resilience was born from that moment—a way to channel my passion for strength and determination into apparel that represents the drive to persevere.

THE STORY BEHIND GRITTY RESILIENCE

Creator & CEO

WHY WE EXIST

Obstacles are inevitable, whether life-changing or just daily inconveniences. What defines us is how we choose to face them—whether we grow and adapt or keep repeating the same struggles until the lesson finally sinks in. Perspective is everything, and resilience is built in how we respond.

Gritty Resilience was created to capture that spirit: the grit, tenacity, and willingness to push forward through setbacks. Every design I create is a reminder to embrace your resilience, trust the process, and keep moving forward—because without adversity, there is no strength.

“Wear your resilience daily—because adversity shapes us, and your apparel can remind you to rise above it.”
