    Episode 6: Why Growing Sometimes Feels Like Losing

    #6: Why Growing Sometimes Feels Like Losing There’s a grief that sneaks in just when life starts looking how you always hoped it would. In this season finale, we’re talking about the ache that shows up after the healing, the identity crisis that hides inside clarity, and why becoming more of yourself can feel like losing the versions of you that everyone else loved. This isn’t the glow-up conversation you’ve heard before — it’s the gut-level truth of what it actually feels like to evolve when you’re emotionally aware, high-functioning, and finally honest about what you can no longer carry.   You’ll hear: Why clarity can feel more disorienting than comforting What no one tells you about the grief that comes with becoming How to tell the difference between comfort and true safety Why your old life might feel like a costume you didn’t realize you were wearing How to sit with the ache without rushing into reinvention A personal reflection on launching this podcast, and what I’ve had to grieve to grow Ritual of the Week: The “Grief Shelf” Ritual Set aside 15 quiet minutes. Light a candle. Brew some tea. Write down 3 things you’re grieving: identities, roles, or relationships. Ask: What did they give me at the time? What truth are they making space for now? Tuck the list into a drawer, or place a small item on a shelf to honor what you’re releasing, not to dwell, but to witness. Bonus: Do this after a slow body care ritual. Let your body support the emotional work. Want to turn this into a full-body reset? Use code GLOW at ⁠⁠addressoasis.com⁠⁠ for 15% off your first order.

    Episode 5: Stay For The Joy

    #5: Stay For The Joy Sometimes the scariest thing isn’t surviving, it’s letting yourself enjoy the life you fought so hard to build. We’re diving into the raw truth that joy doesn’t just happen, it’s a practice. In this episode, I’m talking about why joy feels dangerous for high-functioning women, how receiving is a skill most of us were never taught, and why your nervous system might still be bracing for impact even during your best moments. I share personal stories of my own struggle to feel proud or present in joyful moments, and how shifting small sensory details in your home can help you build the muscle of joy. And we’ll talk about how you can finally stop earning joy, and start letting yourself stay for it.   You’ll hear: Why joy feels so unsafe if you’ve survived chaosHow joy isn’t a mood but a muscle—and how to start training itThe secret cost of never learning to receive softness or complimentsHow your nervous system might reject joy because it’s grieving all the years without it A step-by-step guide for designing your own Hometel™ as a sanctuary for joy This week’s Glow Question to help you discover where you keep earning joy instead of letting yourself have it Ritual of the Week: Start a Joy Jar and choose a Joy Cue—a symbol you’ll look for all week.

    Episode 4: Small Rituals for Big Feelings

    #4: Small Rituals for Big Feelings There’s a kind of tired that doesn’t show up as tears or breakdowns, it shows up as jaw-clenching, screen-scrolling, snapping at people you love, and forgetting what your own voice sounds like. If that’s you right now, this episode is a reset disguised as a podcast. In Episode 4 of Grit & Glow, we’re naming the quiet kinds of overwhelm — the ones that don’t get talked about because they don’t look like suffering. Then we talk about how to meet those big, invisible feelings with one small thing: a ritual that actually holds you.   You’ll hear: The 7 types of emotional depletion we don’t talk about enoughWhy high-functioning women often miss the signs of nervous system burnoutA new way to approach self-soothing that doesn’t feel like another taskA sensory-based ritual called the Dopamine ListReal listener letters that cracked open the truth about our inner voice  Ritual of the Week: Build a Dopamine List — five tiny, sensory-based actions that bring your nervous system back to center. Not goals. Not self-care checklists. Just real, felt things that spark ease when your system is cooked. One breath. One scent. One moment of warmth. That’s enough.

Thank you, Nikki and Denise, for writing in and naming what so many of us feel but haven’t been able to say: That sometimes the voice helping us “heal” is still the one that’s hurting us. And that softness can feel terrifying after years of survival. Let this episode be a mirror, not a manual. If it stirred something in you, leave a note at gritandglowpod.com or email hi@gritandglowpod.com. You may hear your reflection in a future episode.

    #3: Loving the Version of You That Had to Survive Some parts of us didn’t thrive — they endured. And that version? She wasn’t broken. She was brilliant at staying alive.   There’s a version of you you’ve been trying to outgrow — the one who overgave, overfunctioned, and silenced her softness to stay safe.

You’ll hear: Why your “messy” past self may have been your most brilliantHow survival mode shaped your nervous systemWhy rejecting your old self creates shallow healingA simple writing ritual to begin softening that storyA Glow Question to help you rethink what strength really looks like Ritual of the Week: Write a short thank-you note to the version of you who had to survive.

    Episode 1: The Grit Before the Glow: The Part No One Claps For

    #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.

  7. SEASON 1, EPISODE 1 TRAILER

    Trailer: The Grit and Glow Origin Story

    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. 🔗 Connect with Address Oasis® on Instagram @addressoasis or via our website, gritandglowpod.com 🎙️ Created, written, and hosted by Loran Wilson. Thank you for being here. This is just the beginning.
