I first met Marcus nine years ago when he began services at my nonprofit, Puzzle Pieces. He had big goals for himself from day one, never letting his disability hold him back or stop him from dreaming. One of those dreams was to be on stage sharing his love for dance. Marcus connected with a local dance studio, where he was able to find a job and perform on stage in front of thousands of people. Marcus secured a second job at Great American Cookie Company, where he excels at customer service and cookie decorating. But Marcus’ biggest goal was to live independently. With the help of our team at Puzzle Pieces and Marcus’ dedication to learning the necessary life skills to make his dream happen, he moved into his own apartment.
Don’t miss Marcus’ full story! His accomplishments are incredible and offer so much hope for parents raising a child with a disability.

If you have a space in the world of social media, you are familiar with the negativity that can creep in. Just recently, I had some internet trolls light up my comments in a reel that I posted. They questioned me as a mom, the intentions behind my platform and my advocacy. But here’s a lot more to a person and their story than what a post or reel can portray, right? Join me and let’s talk about our current world of social media and how we can prevent our moods from reflecting our comment section.

I have known Maggie since high school. She married her high school sweetheart, went to college and became a nurse, and had two kids and raised her babies in her small hometown. From the outside, she had the textbook perfect life. But in 2021, Maggie turned her life upside down. She felt stuck in a rut and dreamed of MORE… She made a lifestyle change, prioritized her health, and eventually quit her job. She bet on herself and overcame the fear of making a change.

Meet Amanda, a local mom from my hometown, who didn’t let a Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis at 22 stop her from pursuing the life she wanted. She pursued her dream of becoming a teacher, wife and mom. The resiliency she has learned through living with her disease prepared her for the cerebral palsy diagnosis of her fifth child, Georgia, who is immobile and nonverbal. Amanda talks vulnerably about the limits of her body, how she fights through everyday battles, including the guilt she feels for not being able to help care for her child with special needs, and how she finds joy in the hard — thanks to her faith and her five children watching her.

This podcast may just be the kick in the butt you need.
As a kid, when you want to create a really big snowball, you find a hill and roll the ball downhill to make it bigger. That snowball can gain momentum and become something huge.
Our lives are kind of like that snowball. We take the same shape that our momentum creates. How big is your snowball? Do you have the momentum you want in your life? Or have you even started to create your snowball?
Start today. Just take a step forward, a step outside of your comfort zone. Do something different today that you haven’t done before. Stretch yourself and begin to form a habit that will give you the momentum you need to start building your snowball.

I am so honored to introduce you to my friend, Jason Koger. After a near-fatal ATV accident in 2008, Jason had both arms amputated in order to save his life. Being a father and husband, he had no choice but to overcome and move forward in a positive way. This local hometown hero turned a terrible accident into a platform to share his faith. He’s the first person in the world with bionic hands, has been on national television and has recently authored a book about his journey. This podcast will inspire you, move you to tears, and reaffirm your faith.
Learn more about Jason and be sure to grab a copy of his book! I can personally tell you, it’s a must read!

*Warning: This episode discusses a traumatic beach experience where I almost lost my husband and son in the ocean. If you have experienced drowning or something similar, this podcast episode can be triggering.*
This episode was tough. I wasn’t sure I was going to share this story. But after talking to my husband and my son, we all decided it was important to share. On our Spring Break beach vacation, my husband and son were pulled out into the ocean by a rip current. If it were not for two strangers on the beach who jumped into action, I would have lost my husband and son. In this episode, I recount the story, how the trauma changed our family and how we found our faith through it all.
If we can help just one family, our trauma can have purpose. I hope you will listen, educate yourself on the dangers of rip currents, and how you can find faith through your darkest moments.

I love Kara’s energy. In her own podcast, she locks arms with other special needs moms, sharing her own story of raising a child with multiple brain tumors. Kara is raw and vulnerable about her journey and I loved chatting with her in this week’s episode of Fuel Your Purpose. We talk about redefining the “recovery” phase as a mom of a medically complex child to the “restoration” phase. Kara shares how to find the right self-care, and how that’s different from self-comfort. And as a contributor to The Gratitude Journal, she talks about the misconceptions of being grateful for a special needs journey.
Hit play and hear our whole conversation!
Want to connect with Kara? Follow her at @thespecialneedsmompodcast, visit her website kararyska.com or find her podcast on all major platforms.
Kara Ryska is the host and creator of The Special Needs Mom Podcast, a show exclusively focused on supporting mothers who parent children with disabilities and/or medical complexities. Kara is a mother to four children, one of which is the survivor of multiple brain tumors and survives with a spectrum of medical conditions and disabilities.

I am so happy I found Keylonda on Instagram! What a joy and light for the disability community. She is a shining example of living life on purpose and supporting inclusion!
Keylonda is a speech therapist by trade. When she didn’t see kids with disabilities – like the ones she helped in therapy – represented in children’s books, Keylonda decided to write her own. She didn’t want kids to miss out on friendships, just because they weren’t exposed to children with disabilities.
Don’t miss this episode where we talk about calling your own shot. Keylonda encourages you to change your self-talk from, “why me?” to “why not me?” Hit play and be inspired by my new friend, Keylonda!
Want to know more about Keylonda?
You can follow her @KeylondaWrites and or visit her website keylondawrites.com for more information on her books and services.
Keylonda Wheeler has always had a passion for helping others which inspired her to earn a degree in speech pathology. Practicing speech and language therapy in public, private, and virtual schools for several years, she has become increasingly aware of the need to create literature that brings acceptance of differences and disabilities. This awareness inspired her to write her children’s book series, the Inclusive K.R.E.W.E., bringing representation of disabled children. She and her husband, Jackie, along with their two children reside in Louisiana. When Keylonda is not empowering and encouraging others through her work, she can be found dancing and cooking in the kitchen.

What would I tell my younger self? For me, this means before I started my nonprofit. Before I left my teaching job in pursuit of my dreams. Before I began my leadership journey. What would I tell younger Amanda? Put in the work to become the best version of myself. Imagine how different those first years of my nonprofit would have been if I had worked on myself then like I am doing now. That commitment to myself, to my self-worth and self confidence are not something I learned in college. Becoming aligned to my purpose has taken me years, but how different the last decade would have been if I had put in the work sooner. This is your wake-up call! Don’t be like me - invest in YOU now, not 10 years from now.

Whether they are good things or sometimes mix with not so great things, having that drowning feeling is something we all can say we have experienced. Take a listen with me today as we talk through ways to push ourselves through the overwhelm and back to the deep breath we need.

Girl, are you saying this? I was. I can’t count how many times I used this phrase, in my head and out loud. A friend is taking a vacation? Must be nice. A colleague received an award? Must be nice. But when someone used this phrase to me about a recent fundraiser I put on for my nonprofit, those three words hit me in the gut. By telling someone it “must be nice” to have a big win, we discredit their achievement. Those three words take away from the years of hard work that it took to get to that moment. Hit play and learn about how this phrase changed my perspective on how I show up for others.

Need a game changing book for 2023? I can’t recommend The Gap & The Gain by Dan Sullivan enough. I loved it so much I’m dedicating a whole podcast to it!
Learn about a gap vs. gain mindset and how you can turn feelings of “not good enough” into finding the wins in what you have achieved. There is value in being still and realizing what you have accomplished. It’s this reflection that will bring you clarity to see how far you’ve come and in turn, build your confidence to keep going.

Empowering women – what does this even mean and how do we accomplish this? Empowerment is not doing things for other women or giving them authority. It’s not locking arms and leading them in the right direction. To me, empowerment is owning my own mission, crushing my goals and sharing my story, which can help the women in your life open their own door. The best way to empower women is by helping her gain the confidence to do the damn thing and do it in her own way. Join me as I dive deeper into this idea of women empowering women.

There wouldn’t be a Fuel Your Purpose podcast if it wasn't for Kacia Ghetmiri. I stumbled upon her podcast empowerHER and I was hooked.
She got out of her own way to create the life she wanted and she’s empowering women – including me! – to do the same.
In this podcast, Kacia and I talk about:
➡️ Confidence
➡️ Gut feelings
➡️ Giving ourselves grace when we break promises to ourselves
➡️ Grit & resiliency
➡️ Fueling yourself and showing up for YOU
➡️ Finding your community of hype women
➡️ Finding and aligning to your purpose
Is this the first time you have heard of Kacia? She’s the woman we ALL NEED in our corner.
Kacia Ghetmiri is a life enthusiast, multi-passionate entrepreneur, speaker, event host, and podcaster who's on a mission to help women unapologetically share their voice & message with the world.
Along with hosting her own podcast empowerHER, which surpassed 6 million downloads in under 4 years, she has helped over 350 women launch, grow and monetize their own shows, and hosts her own annual event “empowerHER Live” for hundreds of women to connect in person.
Kacia has found that what's often holding women back is the thoughts that they think about who they are & what they are capable of so she takes her knowledge from working with hundreds of entrepreneurs over the years, paired with her high energy bubbly personality and a "Come with me, let's figure this out together" approach to light a fire under their booty to get out of their own way & go!

This week, my nonprofit celebrated 10 years of service with a big community event. It was magical and a huge success. I am proud of myself, which is a hard thing to say. But if I am being honest, I found myself focusing on the people who didn’t show up for my big night. Rather than concentrating on the people right in front of me, I was wasting time wondering why people weren’t in that room. Join me and let’s talk about why we do this and how we can avoid this negative thinking this holiday season.

For children, fear can be a very real thing. Whether it is perceived or not, fear can be a challenging emotion to process. This is especially true for children who have a sibling with a disability. They may not express it, but these children fear what will happen to them and their sibling should something happen to their parents. Join me as I share my sibling story and talk through my own fears surrounding my big brother, Nick. Grab a tissue, this is an emotional one.

Finding your people can be a challenge, especially for women. We compare. We compete. We worry about what everyone else thinks of us. And when we begin our professional careers and have a family, we don’t prioritize time for friendships. We need to surround ourselves with people that fuel us and not necessarily the people that we spend the most time with.

All my life, I have wanted to make an impact on others. Growing up with a brother with a rare chromosomal disability meant that my natural path to impact others was through the world of disabilities. From a special education teacher to now a nonprofit leader, I work every day to build a more inclusive world for my brother and my clients. But I am more than just that. I am a mom of two, I have been married for 15 years, I am a children’s book author and podcast host. I have built a platform through sharing my journey.
My story started when I became a sibling to Nick and it has led me to where I am today. But I’m not finished yet.
I am a woman in the making. My journey, just like yours, is always changing. Inspired by all of the women in my life that have cheered me on and offered me the advice I needed, I am launching something new. Tune in and learn about the be… collection.

Building my nonprofit, Puzzle Pieces, is literally a dream come true. We began serving 32 clients and now serve more than 400. We opened the doors with four staff members and now employ over 100 with a $5 million operating budget. I have learned a lot along the way and I want to give other nonprofit leaders the top 5 strategies I have learned over the last decade of running Puzzle Pieces.

As a parent, receiving an unexpected diagnosis for your child can knock you off course. You can feel like your child’s future is over, but, I am here to tell you that’s not true… it’s just different. Join me and let’s talk about the things that I recommend for parents starting their journey with a disability diagnosis. And if you are not impacted by disabilities personally, be sure to tune in to. I also give advice on how to help support a co-worker, friend, or family member whose child was diagnosed with a disability.

What you see on social media is not real life. The photos we curate and put out in the world don’t accurately portray the hills and valleys of our every day. So, stop comparing and competing. Start building a life that feels good and forget about how it looks to others. Grab a drink and let’s talk about navigating life in an Instagram world and how to focus more on happiness rather than perfection.

One of my biggest points of growth as a leader has been understanding my mindset regarding professional titles. Growing up, hard work and showing up meant more than a title on a resume. But 10 years after opening my nonprofit, I now understand that to some, titles hold value. Some see titles as motivation, an end goal. With this understanding, I have made it a point to create a culture of teamwork to push us forward. I want my people to understand they have value and can lead, regardless of a title. I don’t want to create managers and supervisors. I want to create influencers.

I am constantly trying to convince others to go against the grain. Whether that’s shouting that women deserve an equal seat at the table or that individuals with disabilities like my brother deserve the opportunity to work and be equal citizens in their communities. I advocate for others to see the worth in everyone, but sometimes I struggle to see my own worth and fail to see the value in the person that I am. Join me today and let’s talk about knowing your worth and listen to some wise women on what they believe self worth means.

I am running and no one is chasing me. Even more than that, I am training for a half marathon. Who am I? I hate running. I never dreamed I would be a runner.

Every time that lace up my shoes and don’t give up when I think I can’t run anymore, I am exercising my own self-discipline. And that has been a game changer for me. Listen in and learn the tips and tricks I have learned along the way.

In this episode, I dive into my relationships with my dad and my husband and talk honestly about how I was raised and how my husband and I parent our boys. Navigating conflict and how best to work together is easy for me in a professional setting. But applying those team building skills at home is a struggle. What I’m learning is that I need to better communicate with my husband and talk about how we want to show up for our kids. Join me as I speak vulnerably about my marriage, co-parenting with my husband and what I know I need to work on.

What have you done today to meet the goal you want to achieve? Are you the person you envision yourself to be? I had a deep conversation with fellow podcaster, Elizabeth, from Becoming Her. As a self-proclaimed rebel, she pushes the boundaries and boldly tells her story. This podcast will leave you inspired and challenged to take on tomorrow!

Jenna and Katy Baker are helping their brother Derek, who has Down syndrome, achieve his dream of being famous. By sharing Derek’s hilarious antics, positivity and infectious joy for life with the world, the Bakers quickly went viral. But there is a lot more to their story, like the launch of a nonprofit to support those with disabilities and a message for siblings to those with disabilities. Don’t miss my chat with Jenna, where she talks about it all!
Jenna is the oldest of 3 siblings of the Baker family from St. Louis, Missouri. Along with her little brother and sister, Derek and Katy, they manage their social media platforms called Baker Banter. Jenna is 27 years old, Katy is 20 years old and Derek is 24 years old and has Down syndrome. Derek has quite the personality and has always wanted to be 'famous'. So when the pandemic first hit in early 2020, Jenna and Katy knew it would be a great time to start working toward helping Derek reach his goals by sharing his hilarious antics, positivity and his infectious joy for life with the world. The sibling trio launched Baker Banter on World Down Syndrome Day 2020 (3/21/2020). Together they have since grown their platform on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. They are most recognized for their success on TikTok where they have more than 2.6 million followers.

If I’m being honest, I didn’t like recording this podcast. I have buried these emotions. But that isn’t me. I want to connect with women who have experienced or are experiencing infertility and share my journey. I needed to hear these things and know I wasn’t alone when I was in the middle of my infertility journey. I hope I can provide that for you. I talk about how I wanted to give up, the deep, raw emotions of years of negative tests, and my faith. I even talk about the things you can say to women you know going through infertility. Warning - I cry...a lot. But this is the most real I have ever been with y’all. Thank you for listening.

Self-care has emerged as this trendy buzzword, encouraging -- let’s be honest -- mostly women don’t take time for themselves after pouring so much into their job and family. Bubble baths, diving into a good book, exercise -- all of these are great examples of self-care. But I had a game-changing realization that self-care is so much more than the activities you do to escape your stress. Self-care is also the hard things that help you eliminate the stress in the first place. Like keeping a planner, organizing your grocery pick up, creating systems to keep your life in balance.
Join me as I offer tips on how to master self-care, more than just a White Claw and a bubble bath.

What story are you telling yourself? We often are in our own way on this journey of wanting MORE- because we are telling ourselves we are not good enough- someone else would be better for the job- we are too old- too young…insert whatever you tell yourself. The funny thing is your story can’t be anyone else’s.
What about the story (aka legacy) you're leaving? Is what your doing and how you are treating people leaving a story that becomes a positive footprint on others? What story are you writing for others to tell about you when your not here anymore ?
These are the two most important stories of your life- so let’s figure out together how to make them count

My brother turned 40 and we celebrated the occasion just how he wanted --- with a limo and Hooters. (If you know Nick, you know.) But for me, the little sister, this birthday meant more than cake and balloons. Doctors said Nick, who has a chromosomal disability, wouldn’t walk or talk, would need to be institutionalized, and ultimately wouldn't survive his diagnosis. Join me as we talk about unwavering faith, the ability to overcome and defeat the odds, all while celebrating the hard times that make the good times that much sweeter.
