I’m Elia (pronounced E-Lee-uh), a child of God, a wife to an entrepreneur hubby and a second generational homeschool mom to 4 kiddos.
My priorities: God > Hubby > Kiddos > Business
God:
I have grown up in a faith based house and now strive to bring my kids up knowing the love and grace of my Lord and Savior. Without the guidence of the Lord throughout my life I don’t know, nor want to know, where I’d be. He has helped me through every challenge and has given me hope when I have felt hopeless.
Marriage:
I met my husband, Jim, in 2012, through a mutual friend and we got married in 2014. He is a wonderful husband and father, a hard worker who never gives up and always encourages me to be everything I want to be. Together we have had plenty of beautiful times and hard times. If you ask me if marriage is as fun and easy as the movies portray I will flat out tell you NO! I love my husband to the moon but marriage just like motherhood has many ups and downs and I will not sugar coat the challenges. So to anyone who is going through the trials of marriage and think they are the only ones who struggle, you’re not. Just remember God is bigger than your toughest struggle and let Him guide you and your spouse through it. He is the hope, the peace, the joy and the love that will hold you together during the trials.
Motherhood:
I have been a mother since the end of 2015 when our daughter graced our lives 3 weeks early and chaotically. To say becoming a mom has changed me would be an understatement and I have struggled figuring out who I am outside of motherhood. Now that my fourth child has become less dependent on me I have started to step out of my comfort zone and do things for me and my own mental health. It has opened my eyes to extra purpose and sparked the joy for life I have been lacking. Now I want to share this journey with other moms!
Life as a wife and mother can be beautiful and so fulfilling, but just as the saying goes, you can’t pour from an empty jar. So welcome to my little corner of the internet where I will be sharing encouragement to help you fill your jar so you can pour back into your wonderful families.
Business:
Through courses and coaching I aspire to help moms like myself dream and achieve their goals with loving guidance and accountability. I have big goals and know the importance of planning, commitment and consistency to achieve them. I am committed to helping moms know their worth, feel heard, supported and encouraged as they too follow their dreams in the midst of mothering their babies.
If you are a mom who is ready to go after your dreams I encourage you to stay connected with me by signing up for my email list, following on Instagram and check back for more blog posts.
COMING SOON: Podcasts where I will talk all about following God’s calling on your life. Your dreams and goals aren’t in your heart for nothing, it’s time to get encouraged and start going after them! Stay tuned for updates!
