Speaking Life Into Motherhood ~ Systems, Special Needs Parenting, Rhythms, Child Development, Autism, ADHD, Neurodiversity, Disabilities
Are you a Christian mom exhausted from parenting a child with special needs? Are you worried your child is not developing normally, but have been told to "wait and see"?
I'm Elyse, Speech Language Pathologist, Wellness Coach, and mom who has walked this journey. After being dismissed by providers about my own son's needs, I had to learn how to advocate fiercely—and I discovered how often exhausted moms like us are told to just "wait and see" when we know something more is needed.
That's why I created Speaking Life Into Motherhood. Each week, you'll gain the tools and confidence to advocate for your child with ADHD, autism, or developmental differences. You'll learn natural wellness strategies that actually simplify your life (not complicate it), discover simple systems that create healthy rhythms for your neurodivergent family, and receive biblical truth that meets you right where you are in the trenches of motherhood.
Whether you're navigating IEPs, searching for alternatives to medication, or just trying to get through the day with energy left for yourself, this podcast equips you with what you need to make the best decisions for your child—and finally feel empowered instead of overwhelmed.

39 Gratitude When Motherhood Feels Impossible: Why Obedience Matters More Than Outcomes
Are you grateful—or just exhausted?
Can you find thankfulness when motherhood feels impossible?
What would change if you gave yourself permission to celebrate small obedience instead of demanding perfection?
In this Thanksgiving special, I'm sharing my heart about finding real, honest gratitude even when life feels overwhelming. I reflect on my the last year from autoimmune flares and job misery to launching this podcast and building a community of mothers who refuse to settle for survival mode. This short episode reminds you that obedience leads to purpose, self-care is stewardship, and you're doing better than you think.
