Trigger Warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics such as abortion, rape, substance abuse, suicidal ideation, and cancer.
Elise Hurd is a woman of resilience, creativity, and faith. Her journey has been anything but linear—from navigating life as a pregnant teen and young single mother to building a Kingdom-focused career that serves some of the most successful business leaders in the world. Elise has faced challenges that could have held her back, including fighting off cancer with holistic methods while raising her seven children. Instead, she embraces each plot twist as an opportunity to grow in purpose and strength.
Today, Elise is a Certified Conversion Copywriter and Marketing Strategist, empowering visionary business owners to connect their personal stories with their mission in the marketplace. With over a decade of professional experience as a communicator, Elise’s personal God-stories have been featured by Focus on the Family®, the CSB (in)courage Devotional Bible, and AXIS. She is also the founder of Joy School, where she equips others to deepen their intimacy with God, steward their calling, and live with unshakable joy.
When she’s not crafting transformative copy, sharing stories of God’s goodness on her Hope & Reason podcast, or leading Joy School, Elise is probably feeding her seven snackaholic children, planning her next design renovation project, or finding humor in the chaos of everyday life.
Elise is Created Worthy.
