Speaking Life Into Motherhood ~ Routines, Time Management, Holistic Health, Self Care, Autism, ADHD, Neurodiversity, Special Needs, Disabilities
Are you exhausted from just barely getting by instead of thriving as a mom?
Do you feel overwhelmed by your child's medical needs while struggling with basic self-care and wondering if their behaviors are signs of autism, ADHD, or something else that needs intervention?
Welcome to Speaking Life Into Motherhood. I'm Elyse - a Christian mom, speech-language pathologist, and wellness coach who understands the decision paralysis that comes with knowing what your neurodivergent kids need but lacking the energy or resources to implement it. I see moms every day who are drowning in overwhelm, navigating IEPs and therapies while accepting the status quo when there are better options available.
Through candid conversations with other moms and professionals, we explore holistic, faith-based strategies that challenge conventional approaches. Whether your child is in traditional school or you're homeschooling, you'll discover natural alternatives to traditional interventions, reliable systems that simplify your daily life, and practical tools to help you become your child's best advocate - all while finding the energy to feel human again.
If you're ready to move from survival mode to thriving with renewed energy, clarity about your children's needs, and confidence in your parenting journey, this podcast is for you!
You don't have to just survive mama - you can thrive!
