Gumption Trigger
We are writing a book.
A book of real stories of strength against the odds or challenging the impossible.
A book we hope can help people through darker times by showing you can get through this.
10 women tell us their moments of GRIT, GUMPTION, RESILIENCE, and TENACITY.
We are your sisters, mothers, daughters, family, and friends.
- Ever felt an unstoppable force meet an immoveable object?
- Been trapped in a job you knew wasn't the path for you, but it took a sharp shock for you to take control?
- Ever thought about where your boundaries actually are?
- Had to start it all from scratch?
- Found focus in a war zone?
- Or survived the deepest betrayal?
- Maybe you just want to make a change in the world?
If yes to any of the above, then you have felt (and likely squeezed) your Gumption Trigger!
These stories aim to comfort, encourage, guide, and inspire.
