THIS IS WHO I AM.

A trusted voice for people who don’t trust voices easily.

Diane Geruso is a survivor, speaker, author, and the founder of Grit + Grace Aromatics™. But more than titles, she is a wife, mother, and grandmother with an unwavering heart for God and a bone-deep understanding of people.

With a career built in talent acquisition and diversity, Diane has spent decades creating spaces where the overlooked feel seen and the weary feel safe. Today, that same calling fuels her work with the misfits, underdogs, and survivors who are still carrying the weight of what no one else sees.

She does not speak in theory; she speaks from the fire. Diane offers more than just words. She offers a witness. By telling the truth about what happened and naming what survival left behind, she guides people out of the shadows and back to truth, safety, and steady ground.
