If you've ever felt like something was "off" in your body but were told everything looked normal… this episode is for you.

In this episode of Holistic Health with Melissa, Melissa sits down with Elyse Scheeler, a speech-language pathologist, myofunctional therapist, special needs and homeschool strategy coach, and host of Speaking Life Into Motherhood.

Melissa and Elyse talk about what it looks like to trust your intuition, advocate for your health, and care for your body from a place of faith, especially when you feel dismissed, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin.

Elyse shares her personal story of infertility, miscarriage, thyroid concerns, and learning to keep asking questions when the answers she was given did not line up with what she knew in her body.

They also unpack the difference between selfishness and true stewardship because caring for your body is not about vanity or putting yourself above everyone else. It's about honoring the body God gave you so you can show up well for the people He has placed in your life.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why "normal labs" don't always mean everything is functioning well
• How to tell the difference between fear and intuition
• Why nervous system regulation matters when you're trying to make clear decisions
• How Christian women can reframe self-care as stewardship instead of selfishness
• Simple ways to begin supporting your body when you feel burned out or overwhelmed

This episode is a reminder that God has not forgotten you, your body is not failing you, and healing does not have to happen alone.
