Grit, Growth & Getting It Right: The Dean Episode | NattyShedLife Podcast

Dean’s story is all about grit – the kind that comes from showing up even when it’s hard, learning the long way, and holding yourself to a standard no one else can see but you.

In this episode, Cara sits down with Nic to talk about one of the workshop’s most heartfelt grafters: the effort, the setbacks, the expectations he carried, the pressure he put on himself, and the growth that came from all the moments he thought he wasn’t getting it right.

This is a quiet, powerful episode about the kind of growth you don’t always see – the growth that happens on the inside first. Dean is a reminder that becoming good at your craft means becoming good with yourself, too.
