The Julie Jeppson Podcast

by Gritty Mamas and More

Welcome to the JULIE JEPPSON podcast. So glad you're here. After a heartbreaking loss in the summer of 2022, my 8 kids and I are picking up the pieces of our former lives and moving forward. In this podcast, I interview Gritty Mamas from all over who have pushed, pulled, endured, persisted, insisted, and MOMINATED some pretty impossible burdens. These women are survivors and their stories deserve to be heard. My hope is that you can hear their stories and walk away inspired and uplifted by their capacity to KEEP GOING, no matter what. Because you can too. There's also hidden gems within this podcast with my own children, my parents, mental health experts, spiritual health and wellness mentors, relationship specialists, and other exceptional GRITTY professionals. I come from Grit. My ancestors are the definition of it. So here, I'm taking back my name and my power and I intend to use it to help you remember, too, of the gritty mamas who have gone before you, who will come behind you, but most of all, the gritty mama inside you.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This podcast about powerful women is truly inspiring! Julie does a great job interviewing women with stories of grit. I love how real she is and love the fact that she’s in her closet.

Phloroline · Jan 2024

But since I can’t be her friend irl, listening to her podcast is next best thing. She doesn’t put herself above anyone or put on a facade of knowing it all. Instead, she shows us what it looks like to take initiative and action with all the mishaps thrown in with the successes. She is a good conversationalist and I look forward to many more podcast episodes!

Winkyson · Jan 2024

I’m so grateful for Julie! I feel like if we knew each other in real life we’d be best buds. Momma’s getting gritty and tough and getting stuff done 💪. I always leave her podcast feeling a sense of camaraderie, like I can take on the hard things going on in life, and feel confident when I help uplift others around me.

Sammy woot woot · Jan 2024

I have always loved Julie—- and I’m so excited for this podcast! She is raw, she is real, and she helps me to want to keep going! There is such a need for solidarity among women! She offers that! And—-Her family history is so fun to hear about! So inspiring!
