Elisa Neven-Pugh
Speaker | Disability Advocate l Author
I am a young woman with Cerebral Palsy Quadriplegia who has always wanted to help others as I grew up in a family of service. When I came to Christ in 2021 that very strong desire only exploded into a greater passion. I also hope to help people overcome their challenges and develop a Christ-centered growth mindset in which challenges are acknowledged with compassion but also transformed into something that can heal and hopefully save lives.
People sometimes see my wheelchair before they see me, and I get it. But that lived experience is exactly what makes me good at this work. I know what it feels like to be overlooked, dismissed, or not taken seriously, and that understanding drives everything I do.
Today, I offer motivational speaking and advocacy grounded in real life experience and supported by formal education. I provide short-term support designed to stabilize your situation and connect you with the resources you need, because sometimes we all need someone to help us see the love and support that's already around us.
