Speaking Life Into Motherhood ~ Systems, Special Needs Parenting, Rhythms, Holistic Health, Self Care, 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.

42// From Chaos to Peace: Business Systems Every Special Needs Mom Needs | Energy for Exhausted Moms
Are you drowning in chaos while managing work systems that actually function? What if the bedtime battles and morning meltdowns aren't about your kids—but about missing the same systems you'd never tolerate at work?
What would change if you treated your home with the same intentionality you give your business?
In this episode, I share my own journey from drowning in chaos (both at work and home) to discovering that simple, imperfect systems can create actual peace. I'm walking you through the exact five-step process to turn 2026 into your breakthrough year—not by adding more to your plate, but by bringing business-minded intentionality to the family that matters most.
This isn't about perfection. It's about finally moving from survival mode to thriving through systems that actually work for exhausted moms managing therapies, IEPs, and all the additional needs your family requires.
In This Episode:
- The two lists that will change how you see 2025 (and set you up for 2026 success)
