About Darlene
Darlene Brock has always been someone who pushes the boundaries of what is possible. After leaving home at 18, she explored various paths, including working at a law firm, living in a commune, and running a conference center. Eventually, she discovered her purpose in the music industry, where every previous experience contributed to her success. For over 20 years, she worked alongside her husband, Dan, producing award-winning music videos, managing music groups, promoting concerts, and serving as COO of ForeFront Records.
Throughout her career, Darlene embraced two key principles to navigate the challenges and successes of life: grit and grace. This inspiration led to the creation of the nonprofit organization The Grit and Grace Project. The Grit and Grace Life website serves as a community for strong women and those who want to be, co-hosting the "Smart Living with Grit and Grace" podcast, which shares life wisdom, and developing a multi-author guidebook series to help women transition from hurt to healing, from a woman who has been there. The mission is to remind women that true beauty lies in their strength.
Every aspect of her life—as a mother, businesswoman, wife, creative producer, podcaster, and author of two books, "Raising Great Girls" and "When Suicide Touches Your Life"—reinforces her belief that life’s challenges should neither defeat nor define you.
