Join us for an inspiring and deeply human conversation with Jessica Funderburk, devoted mom to Jolene, a beautiful girl living with Sanfilippo syndrome. Sanfilippo syndrome is a rare, inherited genetic condition that affects the body’s ability to break down and recycle complex sugar molecules, leading to progressive neurological decline and a host of physical and developmental challenges. While the journey can be overwhelming, Jessica’s story is one of unwavering love, fierce advocacy, and hope in the face of life’s hardest moments.

In this episode, we walk alongside Jessica as she shares:
✨ What life looks like raising a child with a rare, life-limiting condition
✨ The everyday joys, struggles, and unimaginable love that define their family’s routine
✨ How she finds strength in community, faith, and purpose
✨ The importance of awareness, research, and connection for families affected by rare diseases

Whether you’re a caregiver, clinician, parent, or listener seeking a story of resilience, this episode celebrates the power of hope, the depth of a mother’s love, and the courage it takes to navigate the unknown.

Welcome to the very first episode of the Grace in Motion Podcast. In this introduction, we’re sharing the story behind who we are, why we started, and the calling that led to Grace in Motion.

You’ll hear the heart behind both Grace in Motion Therapy and Grace in Motion Ministries — how pediatric therapy became more than a service, but a mission to empower children, support families, and create inclusive spaces where every child can thrive.

We talk about stepping out in faith, the needs we saw in our community, and the vision for what’s ahead — from specialized therapy services to camps, adaptive equipment, and outreach programs designed to bring hope and practical support to families navigating diagnoses.

If you’re a parent, caregiver, therapist, ministry leader, or someone searching for hope in the middle of hard — this episode is for you.

This is where grace meets movement.

Grace in Motion is a podcast for families navigating childhood disability and special needs. Hosted by pediatric physical therapist Beth Bryan and mom to a child with special needs, Anika Johnson.
