Growth Isn’t Always Smooth—And That’s the Point.

Stephanie Lee

What Triggers This Response?

Let’s be honest—growth is annoying. It’s uncomfortable. It rubs you the wrong way. Literally.

Maybe you’re dealing with:

  • A challenge that feels way too big, and suddenly, procrastination looks real attractive.
  • A week where nothing is going as planned, and your patience is flaking off faster than your skin.
  • That lovely moment when your mind whispers, “What if I fail?” and your nervous system responds by clenching every muscle in your body.

And your skin? It reacts the same way—tight, dull, congested, hoarding dead skin like it’s prepping for the apocalypse.

You might think you need to push through, grind harder, or “just deal.” But what you actually need?

What Are You Actually Needing?

  • Not perfection—momentum.
  • Not avoidance—release.
  • Not another round of overthinking—a reset.

Your mind and body need a way to physically process stress, shake off stagnation, and build resilience—not just tolerate discomfort.

A New Response to the Cue

That’s where the True Grit Resilience Scrub Ritual comes in.

This isn’t just an exfoliating scrub. It’s a practice in friction—on your skin and in your life. A reminder that what’s rough now? It’s what makes you stronger, softer, and more resilient.

The Science in Action

🛁 Skin & Body Benefits (Because Exfoliation is More Than Just Aesthetic)

Lymphatic Massage for Detox & Flow → Exfoliation with upward strokes helps drain excess fluid, de-puff your skin, and keep circulation moving—because stagnation isn’t a good look on anyone.
Friction as a Nervous System Reset → That gritty texture? It’s activating sensory nerves in a way that tells your brain, “Hey, let’s process this.”
Tension Release Through Touch → Massaging your scalp, jaw, and neck releases the muscle tension that stress so generously gifted you.

🧠 Mental & Emotional Benefits (Because Stress Needs an Exit Strategy)

🌊 Somatic Experiencing → Using skin-to-brain signals to tell your nervous system: We’re okay.
🧠 Cognitive Reappraisal → Instead of “What if I fail?” try “What if this is how I grow?”
💆🏽‍♀️ Interoception → Bringing awareness back into your body so stress doesn’t just live in your head—it gets physically processed and released.

What Happens When You Do This Instead?

Instantly: Dead skin, tension, and overthinking—all scrubbed away.
Over time: Your skin glows, your body moves more freely, and your mind stops seeing friction as something to avoid—but something to move through.
