Speaking Life Into Motherhood ~ Rhythms, Child Development, Homeschool, Special Needs, Systems, 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"? Are you navigating a tough season with your child?
I'm Elyse, Speech Language Pathologist, Special Needs and Homeschool Strategy Coach, Family Advocate and a 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 whether you just have general concerns and are tyring to be proactive, or your child has a, ADHD, autism, or developmental diagnosis, my goal is for you to feel supported and seen. You'll learn about typical development, alternative 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 or trying to decide whether to homeschool your child- 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.

Are you curious about frankincense but not sure how to actually use it? In this episode, we're exploring the ancient oil that was precious enough to be gifted to baby Jesus—and discovering why modern science is now backing up what people have known for thousands of years.
We'll dig into the biblical significance of frankincense (hint: it was a declaration of divinity, not just a fancy gift), plus the exciting research coming out about this powerful oil. From a Johns Hopkins study on anxiety relief to clinical trials on inflammation and even early cancer research, you'll walk away understanding why frankincense deserves a spot in your daily routine.
But here's the best part—I'm giving you three practical strategies that take five minutes or less. No extra time required. These are ways to sneak frankincense into what you're already doing, whether it's your morning skincare routine, waiting in the pick-up line, or needing a quick reset in a stressful moment. Plus, I'm sharing my favorite calming roller recipe that you can take everywhere with you.
If frankincense has been sitting unused in your cabinet—or you've been thinking about trying it—this episode is for you.
