HOW I FOUND MY VOICE

- Life is tough! Growing up I have been through many challenges and I soon found that being an adult wasn’t any easier. From a death in my family at an early age to going through a divorce, I had lost my voice. I no longer knew who I was besides being a mom to Will, Nash, and Hayes. I wasn’t happy and knew I needed a change. I hope you find inspiration for your own life through my story!

Hi Elizabeth! This video is honestly really inspirational for me and my mother...
(This is my mothers story ⬇️)
My mom is 40... she has 7 kids... here it goes.
At 17 my mom got pregnant... yet my stepsisters dad didn't want to do anything with her and help her take care of their daughter...
She never got to finish high school because she had to take care of my grandma and my stepsister...
My mom finally met my dad and he brought her and my stepsister to the United States...
Me and my 2 other siblings were born in Mexico as well... I was only 4 months old when I came to the US...
my dads parent never liked my mom... (She is 40... she gave birth to 7 kids! It was really hard for her lose weight) so they would judge her and tell my dad "Do you see your brothers wife's????" They would always compliment my uncles wife's but never my mom... my mom tells me that when she was in Mexico my grandpa told my dad that she was cheating on him... (which wasn't true) but my dad would beat my mom... that didn't just happen once it happened multiple times... all because of my grandpa... he would tell my dad lies about my mom... Now that we are older I listen to their conversations when they are arguing... my mom always brings it up... saying "I REMEMBER YOU BEATING ME.... BECAUSE YOUR FATHER WOULD SAY LIES ABOUT ME... JUST BECAUSE HE DIDN'T LIKE ME... I NEVER FORGAVE YOU OR YOUR PARENTS... THE ONLY REASON IM WITH YOU RIGHT NOW IS BECAUSE OF ALL OUR KIDS..."
it makes me sad knowing that my father did those thing to her... but he has changed... well I hope!
I don't know if I should be sharing this but... someone needs to know my family's story... 😐
Alondra Cardenas thats an amazing story! I hope your mom is fine and I hope you are fine!💛
Alondra Cardenas so interesting 🤔 I wish the best for your family babe ❤️
Everything is fine! As long as my mom and siblings aren't around my grandparents...
Thank You! I just hope that my grandpa sees what he is doing to my parent... he wants my parents to get divorced... and my dad knows if he leaves my mom it's going to be hard taking care of 5 kids in the house... (2 other siblings moved out)
I will pray for you! fingers crossed!
"tuck and roll" is my new favorite quote! 😊💜
This video is brilliant. Shows how resilient mothers can be. I'm gonna go and hug my mum right now 💕
Elizabeth Grier-Floyd You are a great mother and a great role model
You are exactly the mom I aspire to be one day. Your so compassionate, supportive and you freely express yourself. You show much love and support for your kids while being a strong leader for them! Thank you for everything you do!!!
Such an inspiration to other moms
Omg. Prayer trails sound so awesome!! This was so inspiring to me!! I love to run but I haven't in a while, but this makes me want to go to the gym right now and run cause it really does fuel me now that I think about it. I feel so good and energized after I run and listen to worship music on my headphones. 😄
Hayes sent us here! Really loving your videos💞
I´m from Portugal and I started riding a moto with my father when I was about 3 almost making 4 years old, and I used to love it but at one point of my life my dad stopped riding and I quit riding to and now at age of 16 I´m taking my license and gonna start riding again. All because of your family, who inspired me every day. So thank you, I love you.
This video is insperational to me. Thankyou so much. Your words inspired me so much right now. My mother actually went through so much and I know what it is like to live a different life coping with the bills, finding a job, my mom getting divorced and even more especially, her raising us two kids now grown up. But, its amazing what you do for your family through all that you went through, a tough phase in your life that you overcame. You believed in yourself and you made great life changes. Very insperational.
i'm sorry to hear about your dad.. i'm 14 rn and i couldn't imagine my father dying that sucks
Ur such an insperation ur a beautiful woman with beautiful kids (hayes😻😻😻) u Showed this video to my mom bc she really is Having a rough and horrible time and she told me to say thank u to u bc u really helped her. Thank u so much💗💗💗

You are such a inspiration. This video even though I'm only 13 made a impact on my life. After thinking about you send it really touched me. Thank you for making and posting this video!
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad, but i'm so happy that you found your voice again. Thank you for inspiring me. I will remember you until i die. You are an amazing woman and an amazing mom of extraordinary children. You are an inspirartion. ❤️
Even though im a child I still think that wath you said can still help us in a way because as a girl, with responsibilities, and life can get hard and I feel like you are helping us in so many different ways. It's amazing. Thank you for being such an inspiration.
wow that was amazing Elizabeth you had me in tears! When my grandma died i lost my voice as well because she was like my mom she was my everything. I'm defiantly going to take the tips that you have given in this video.
My mom lost a child 4 years ago and the things you have said in this video make me see that my mom will one day be happy and have joy in her life so thank you so much
abby mobley... Oh Abby....Im so sorry....PRAYING for your family's healing🙏💕

Elizabeth Grier-Floyd
Wow! I have to communicate this with you Girlfriend. This video is just the 2nd video of yours that I watched back to back. I know I live under a rock to have just now found you. With that being said , I have to tell you ( wish it was face to face) that you just became part of my testimony! Wow!! I was a teen Mom , my daughter turned 18 recently ( she's an only child) and I have been really thinking and wondering about me as a person. That's hard to do when all you know how to do is be a Mom. I literally broke down and just prayed and prayed for guidance last night and this video answered just about every single question I asked God! I'm looking forward to my journey with ease and excitement now! Thank You Thank You Thank You! God Bless Your Journey! 😇
caroline cain I'm so thankful for these words Caroline!!
I would hug your neck Girlfriend right now if I could! If you've ever had any doubts about what your supposed to do, you did the right thing because you've gave a peace I so much needed!
caroline cain me too girl, but i have 2 more lil ones added to my oldest he just turned 18 AGHHHH so many hardships and mistakes but beautiful moments and memories along the bumpy trail
Being a SAHM ( i JUST learned the acronym and its meaning JEEZE ) didnt come very easy thought cookin cleanin and lovin was it HA routine and organization are sanity savers and having a hobby helped redefine me and having an interest rather than a chorelist made me a HAPPY MOM 😁
andria blue Thank oh so much for kind words! You're absolutely right, I am discovering and learning that it is OK to be ME not just Mom! It definitely has been harder than I could've ever expected! But it sure is exciting learning Me ( The Good and Bad!) Thank You again for your kind and encouraging words words! God Bless Your Journey!
Ur sooo welcome 🤗
Everytime im sad or with problems i come watch this video bc this little word made my day so many times ... Im so happy to follow this family and know that its so strong bc of this wonderful woman ... You're a Warrior and im lucky to can look at someone like you THANK YOU *-*
Hello Elizabeth,
seeing you stay true to your faith & striving for a peaceful, non-materialistic lifestyle, has inspired me to be a more giving human being & really appreciate life as is comes!!! after my parents divorce in 2013, i was devastated & couldn't bare the heartache that came along with it... but seeing the experiences that you have gone through as a child, mom, & wife, not only gives me hope for the future, but gives me strength and prosperity to which i can share through out my life experiences as well! so thank you Elizabeth, you truly are a blessing!
I like to watch your videos over and over, because they are an inspiration to me too. I admire your strength, and your mentality, and I agree and can relate to alot of what you share in your videos. When you said that your father died when you were 14, and that you had suffered alot of anxiety and depression, it made sense why I had felt something after watching your first video. I am like a burden bearer, and I can feel other people's pain, and I can sense things, and I had felt like something was oppressing you, or you had an issue about something painful, and I actually felt drained a little. So I had prayed for you, that it would be lifted off you, and then I felt better. You are right about praying everyday. If I don't pray always, and everyday, then bad things seem to happen, or I am weaker, and vulnerable. I have to pray for protection all the time, because since I am sensitive to spiritual things, I am the target of abuse. There's alot I could share with you, do you have an email?
You are amazing. I am not personally a mom, but I showed this to my mom and she wanted me to thank you. Elizabeth, I would personally like to say thank you. You have raised such amazing kids. I see interviews with Hayes and Nash all the time and they are so mature and amazing. You are a blessing love. I almost think of you as my 2nd mom ahhaha, you are always there for your kids and support them no matter what. Thanks you :)

You're absolutely incredible. I will never get over that
I have really enjoyed this video. You are so inspirational and just the smallest things you talked about impacted my view on life. Thank you so much
You are such an inspiration, it really hit me how life can give you these situations and we have to get over them, it helps make us who we are. If life did not give us these bumps in the road it would be too easy, life would have no meaning. We need to stay strong and true to ourselves of who we are and who we continue to be. You have shown me, even as a teenage girl that, staying strong is hard and we will go through these moments that are sad, depressing, happy, exciting, and angry. However, the outcome will be even greater knowing we have set ourselves up for greatness, when all along we thought this is it, it cant get worse than this and we may have set ourselves up for failure. But failure makes us stronger and we cant forget this. Thank you for giving me this time to pray and think my way through. ❤️🙏🏼
That's amazing. Just amazing words can't even describe. GOD bless you!
Wow. This was really eye opening to me! Thanks Elizabeth
I don't think I've ever found anyone so relatable or inspirational besides Shawn Mendes or Hayes. I forgot you were a gymnast but when you said to just tuck and roll that got to me, I'm really struggling with my standing back tuck right now.
I may not be a mother but I'm so glad I came across this video especially tonight with everything I've been going through just this past year alone, I'm only 16 and sometimes I just wanna give up. I've been on this dark path for awhile now just trying to find my way back to the happy times and it's so hard but like you said you have to find your voice and pull through it, you truly are an inspiration to so many I appreciate you sharing your story with us, it shows how strong you really are. Such an inspiring person just like your family.
You should make a book. Your a great inspiration. I lost my dad when I was 8 my brothers were 3, they are now 9 and I am now 14 and just watching this video helps. You always have a way to make my day and talking about losing parents is really a hard subject, especially when you were really close to them. And its also really hard when people point out similar traits that you and your parent have. My mom a little over 1 year ago started dating someone. He has had a great Impact on me and my brothers lives and hes so much like my dad it shouldn't even be real it seems like. Thank you for always making me and all the other fans feel like apart of your family. I really hope to meet you, the boys Skylynn, and Jonnie some day. Lysm
You are such a strong, powerful women. I look up to you so much and I just wanted to say you should be proud of yourself
When you have such an insperational mom that you admire soo much and wish to have.❤❤
beautiful words. Congratulations for this amazing channel. i love it😍👌
Amazing! Simply amazing. I needed to hear this right now. I have an 18 yr old son and a 14 yr old daughter and with all their grown up stuff and my own and my husbands. Life can feel very overwhelming. I will be watching this video over and over because it just made my soul happy❤
I'm so sorry your dad died but I'm happy that you got this channel and your still doing good and being happy.💕💕💞💞
elizabeth you ware such an inspiration. you are so positive and a great person/mother. i love this channel so far x
Hii Elizabeth,
You are such an inspirational woman! It´s so touching and i remember myself to watch this if life hits me, so i can hit back harder. Thank you so much for this! I appreciate everything what you do ❤️
Very inspirational. ❤ I hope in the future you can do a Q & A for us. We already know about Nash and Hayes. I now would like to know more about you.
I would love that too!
I love this and I love you! You are seriously my goal. Your my inspiration and a incredible mother. Thank you for all you do and the way you raised your boys. It has made me better in ways I can't describe.
This was do deep.Thank you so much for sharing this with us❤
Without doubt the most beautiful mother-in-law.❤️
You are amazing Elizabeth you are a superhero to some people😇❤️
Elizabeth it's amazing to see you as a strong women after been trough what you confessed. Right now I'm 16 and in depression and sometimes it's really hard to get trough it. I want to have you strength and hope I will be strong enough as you were and are now. Thank you for this video I loved it
Maéva Roulet you WILL get through it and be stronger because of it! I promise!!!
Elizabeth Grier-Floyd thank you for telling me that and thank you for responding me. I hope I will someday.
Such an inspiration you are! One of the MOST authentic women I have ever met and I am so inspired by you E!!!! Your heart is genuine and you make me want to be a better person! Thank YOU for giving of yourself and opening up your life and sharing your heart with all of us!
What an inspiration you are! I just found your channel and find it uplifting and calm. I think we all as moms lose ourselves and have to "tuck and roll" as you say and refocus, reprioritize, and find out what makes us happy. If we don't take care of ourselves how can we take care of others? Love this video!
Loving these videos!! Such an inspiration to so many people! Xx
This is very inspiring I don't live with either of my parents and as I got older I found out why and it was very depressing and I couldn't stop thinking about it. It was to the point were I didn't want to eat or get out of bed or do anything and then I realized, to be happy I need to try and I find this inspiring because I didn't know how to speak up and this video tells people how.
i always come back to watch this video because it’s so inspiring to me, such a strong lady here! ❤️
You are such a breath of fresh air..........love it here.
I have been on empty for so long, I am doing more praying. I would love to hear more on filling up my joy again! I love the idea of a pray walk.
This Video has helped me so much I'm 14 I have depression and anxiety I have to go to counseling every week and just walking in too school everyday I start getting anxiety and then there's a bunch of stuff with my dad and watching this has helped me so much thank you
This is so powerful. Love this channel already!!❤️
I really love how you are a woman of faith. When you said you had a pray trail I was rejoicing like yayyyy.Have an amazing day/night and may God bless😃
wow, thank you. inspirational, life isn't always easy. Tuck n roll- I needed this. I need a louder voice right now. Share more of your relaxation rituals... I need motivation.
I am so happy I found your channel! You are such a beautiful soul and that is so clear throughout your videos. You have a beautiful family. Love your video with Johnny! He is a hoot!!!
This video has really helped me. I have lost 3 CLOSE family member that i miss every single day but i have to be strong for my mom so she wont break down. I have also have been having anxiety to were i cry myself to sleep at times or when i get around people,it wont matter who you are ill get scared and just break down. Ive talked to my dad about it and he holds me and tells me everything will be okay but tbh i dont know if that is true anymore. But i would like to say at the end of that dark tunnel thrs a bright light waitin for you and me.
Breonna Alvarez - I have bad anxiety too bc of people at school who I thought were friends…Lately in Sunday School my teacher has been saying to always remember to pray in those tough times, not only for yourself but for others too. From this I've really learned to take everything to God and that always helps me day to day and I hope it could help you too! 😌 I also try to remember that even in the midst of the storm, when you think everything's going wrong, God has a plan, and a reason, and he's always there. And even when you think you're alone, he's always there by your side.
you are the most inspirational person that I have ever know. you really know how to bring honest and truth to everybody. I wish I could meet you and just talk to you for hours because I would never get enough of your inspiration. I hope you are posting a video tomorrow. 😊❤
you are so inspiring for young and old! 💖
You're such an inspiration it's amazing
Congratulations on your new channel! It is going great so far!😊
Love the idea of a prayer trail. I have my Prayer Chair, but really want to increase my steps. AWESOME IDEA!

Hi. Ok this is the one video which has inspired me. Keep strong and believe in yourself. Don't let anything bring you down. No matter what we are all with you.
Elizabeth, Hey!! I am so glad that I found your channel!!! Especially this video in particular!! I lost my mother and father-in-love in 2016. I lost my voice. I lost myself taking care of everyone else. And I am just starting to feel like I can find it again. Slowly but surely. So thank you for this lovely reminder. I love your bracelet BE. My favorite quote is BE HERE NOW. Looking forward to watching more videos. All my best, Robyn @coffeechatgirl

I'm excited to learn from you and decide where my journey might take me.
Hi Elizabeth! I'm 14 years old and struggle with depression and LOADS of anxiety. What are some ways that helped you cope? On another note, Thanks Hayes for sending me here. Best decision I ever made. Thank You
I just love your spirit! Thank you for sharing your life with us!
Lyss D.M. Thank you so much sweetie my prayer is that my journey and experiences will only help someone journeying themselves!
Who else loves her voice? You're accent is amazing to me lol
I've been though what I call harassment. When I was 12 my grandmother passed away and my grandfather passed away when I was 17. That had a huge impact. I deal with mild depression and anxiety. As a mother and wife now I strive for healthy for my family. I love buying organic, non-gmo, natural products. My FB account was used against me. What I said to a family member backfired. Second hand info was passed and that was twisted.
I have been turned into CYS 4xs in 3 years. I was turned in for neglecting medical care, buying organic, my mental health was questioned, ect. The first time I got turned in was when our oldest was about 2 months. I cried uncontrollably. By the 4th time I welcomed the caseworker in the house like she was a friend.
To this day I still buy organic, ect.
This and you are amazing ❤️❤️
I admire you
and how genuine you're and really inspiring ☺☺
gardening and crafts and positive self talk. surround your self with good. like attracts like and your vibe attracts your tribe :)
you have BEAUTIFUL words!!!
Thank you
You are hella inspiring, much love.
You are absolutely amazing. You have done such an amazing job with your sons and Sky
what an inspiring video ❤
Love this video
I love this channel!!!!
heyitslola same❤
As a hardworking mom, I'm sure you have some tips to stay calm in stressful times.. right now we are a week away from our school play and everything just seems like a mess... it's really stressed me out and I listened when you said you do yoga or water flowers, do you have any other stress relieving tips? Maybe a certain kind of tea or just some techniques you could share with me if you see this.. thank you ❤️❤️
Maddie Lynne- Hey Maddie! Honestly I think things stay a mess during this time in our lives. It can be so hard when the holidays are approaching and the kids activities seem to be full throttle now, more than ever. I pray every morning for God to cleanse my soul with peace that only he can give me.....a mothers soul can get so weary if we let it. Lay it all at the feet of Jesus....HE WILL TAKE IT!
Elizabeth Grier-Floyd thank you for replying!! This helped because I haven't prayed in a while and it reminded me to.
Elizabeth, I just came across your channel because I saw the video of your beautiful farmhouse tour...I am so glad I did. Your house, lifestyle and country living is beautiful. I love how simple and minimalist you are. I hope to one day own a piece of property like yours. It is amazing!!!!! LOVE your channel! By the way, thanks for your message about God because nowadays so many people fear speaking about Him because they don't want to offend people. I appreciate that!!! Although I don't go to church, I strongly believe in Him and pray every single night!!!!
That's an inspiration
wow this words are so beatiful you are beatiful and you are a strong women you are a model for all of us here and i send you all my love and my support from Algeria (it's far from america but that's okay 😊)
wow that was amazing
You are so inspiring
You are a amazing women, you are a beautiful women, wife, mom and person. You are an insperation to other moms and teenagers like me. I love you with all of my heart !
Thank you so much for liking my comment I'm so happy right now💕😅
Your videos are encouraging! Keep it up!
You are soo awesome!!!!!❤️
Hey Mrs. Elizabeth my name is Caitlynne and I'm 14 years old I was just wondering if you could do an inspirational video about how to beat and overcome depression???
