If life changed without asking your permission, and yet, you’re still showing up… take a breath—you’re in the right place. Grit, Grace, & Inspiration is for the person rebuilding after adversity. For those who are strong, capable, and functioning… but quietly tired. For anyone asking, “How do I keep going when life changed without my permission?” Here, personal growth isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about learning how to carry what life handed you with mental toughness and grace. Through deeply honest conversations and lived stories—not polished success narratives—you’ll hear from people who’ve been tested and kept going anyway. Stories of resilience, faith that isn’t forced, hope that doesn’t insult your intelligence, and the quiet courage it takes to rebuild a life you didn’t choose. If you’ve ever thought: “I may be strong, but I’m exhausted.” “I just need someone to tell me what to do next.” “I just want life to be good again.” You’re in the right place. I’m Kevin Lowe. At 17 years old, I woke up completely blind after life-saving brain surgery. One moment I had plans, momentum, and a future I could see. The next, everything I thought I knew about my life and identity was gone. There was no roadmap for that kind of loss. No quote that made it make sense. I had to learn—slowly and honestly—how to live inside a life I didn’t choose… and still move forward. This podcast was born from that reality. Not as a performance—but as a conversation. One human to another. Every episode is designed to leave you steadier, not louder. More grounded. More clear. More capable of taking the next step—even if that step is small. If you’re rebuilding after adversity… If you’re learning how to carry what life broke… If you refuse to give up on your life, even when it feels heavy… Welcome. This podcast is for you. You’re not broken. You’re not behind. And you don’t have to do this alone.© 2026 Grit, Grace, & Inspiration Personal Development Personal Success Social Sciences

  • 430: Why You’re Not Seeing Results from Your Good Habits — And Why That’s Actually a Positive Sign
    Jan 27 2026

    🎯Download Your FREE Grit, Grace, & Inspiration Life Guide

    Let me guess, you've been doing all the right things, making all the right choices, but can't help but feel like nothing is changing? If this is you, then stay tuned!

    Most people quit on their goals for one reason: they aren't seeing results, or another way to say it, they can only assume that silence means failure. But what if the lack of immediate results isn’t proof you’re losing… but proof you’re building something that takes time?

    What You're About to Learn:
    1. You’ll finally understand why your progress feels invisible even when you’re making good choices and staying disciplined.
    2. You’ll stop mistaking delayed results as “proof it’s not working,” so you can keep going without losing confidence.
    3. You’ll learn three strategies to stay consistent long enough to collect the outcome your future self is counting on.


    The Delayed Feedback Loop

    In this episode, Kevin breaks down one of the most frustrating parts of personal growth: the delayed feedback loop.

    You can be eating healthy, working out, saving money, praying, and showing up every day… and still feel like life isn’t rewarding you yet. That delay can mess with your motivation and make you question everything.

    But here’s the truth: your actions are still powerful, even when the echo hasn’t come back yet.

    Using a simple but powerful “echo” analogy, Kevin explains why negative choices often show up fast, while positive choices take longer to return results. Then he gives you three practical strategies to help you stay on track, stay disciplined, and keep moving forward even when you aren’t seeing progress yet.


    Hit play now, and learn how to stay in alignment long enough to finally see the results you’ve been working for.

  • 429: A Lack of Motivation Isn’t Your Problem: Revealing a Major Misconception in Personal Development
    Jan 20 2026

    CLICK HERE: Grab the Grit, Grace, & Inspiration Life Guide!

    If you’ve been feeling frustrated, stuck, or disappointed with yourself because you can’t seem to “stay motivated,” this episode is for you.

    Here’s the truth most people never hear: your lack of motivation isn’t the real problem.

    The problem is a major misconception in personal development—one that causes people to start in the wrong place and quietly blame themselves when things don’t work.

    In this episode, Kevin reveals why motivation so often fails before it ever has a chance to help—and what actually needs to come first.

    This conversation isn’t about grinding harder, forcing discipline, or shaming yourself into action. It’s about clarity. It’s about understanding the correct order of inspiration and motivation—and why getting that order wrong sets you up for burnout, inconsistency, and quitting before momentum ever builds.

    In this episode, you’ll discover:
    1. Why waiting to “feel motivated” keeps so many people stuck
    2. The critical difference between inspiration and motivation
    3. Why motivation isn’t meant to start the journey—only sustain it
    4. How inspiration creates the spark that makes motivation possible
    5. Why nothing is “wrong” with you if motivation hasn’t been showing up

    Kevin breaks this down using simple, relatable examples and a powerful framework that helps everything finally click—especially if you’ve struggled with New Year’s resolutions, goals, or staying consistent in the past.

    If you’re ready to stop blaming yourself and start moving forward with clarity, this episode will change how you think about motivation forever.
