Elyse discusses a divorce she went through and how it's taboo in the church as well as how she found hope when it comes to love again after a heartbreak. Elyse is a writer, speaker, and influencer who is committed to using her platform to have authentic conversations and share meaningful moments that inspire people to live up to their God-given calling. She’s an over-sharer and a people pleaser and will probably get distracted mid-conversation, but she’s doing her best to live a healthy life (body, soul, and spirit) and point them to Jesus... And she’s ok if that’s a little bit messy. In fact, these days? She kind of likes it messy. In a world that is desperate to be seen, she’s on a mission to be known. And she wants to take everyone with her. Elyse grew up as a pastors kid in Sydney Australia and, after graduating from Hillsong Leadership College, wrote her first book “Confessions of a Church Kid.” She moved to Los Angeles in 2013 to pursue ministry and found a whole new world of life and its lessons along the way. She’s currently in the process of writing her second book and has expanded into media. Elyse is now the co-producer and host of “On A Lighter Note” with Lightworkers and works with media outlets to create content that will help people find hope and have honest conversations about faith, health, and relationships. She’s also currently working with Christine Caine and Propel to launch Propel Girl later this year. Crushing on a cutie?
