Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast explores themes of faith, advocacy, wellness, and the parenting journey for special needs. Example episodes include strategies for managing stress during the IEP process and frameworks for self-care like the WELL framework. The show also covers topics like making confident parenting decisions, finding joy in marriage amidst challenges, and navigating emotional difficulties in caregiving.
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.
- Have you tried every therapy, cut the dyes, gone crunchy — and your child is still struggling with unexplained rashes, chronic sickness, or behavioral changes that no one can explain?
- What if the real culprit behind your child's ADHD symptoms, developmental delays, or constant illness isn't what you've been treating at all — and the answer has been hiding in your walls this whole time?
- Could the exhaustion you and your child are carrying be less about willpower and more about a toxin your doctors never even thought to test for?
Episode Overview
In this episode, I sit down with Aubree Felderhoff — founder of MoldFreeMom and host of a top 2.5% globally ranked podcast — and we dig into something I think every special needs mama needs to hear. Mold toxicity may be the missing piece behind your child's unexplained symptoms, including behaviors that look like ADHD, autism, chronic illness, and developmental delays. Aubree spent 12 years, $250,000, and consulted over 30 doctors before finally getting her answer — and once she did, everything changed. I also share how mold comes up in my own practice when I'm working with families on airway and breathing concerns. We cover the difference between a mold allergy reaction and a full-body inflammation response, why women and children are hit hardest, and the free first steps I recommend you take today if any of this is resonating with you.
