Unshakeable Purpose Workbook & Guide
As a speaker, author, content creator, and child advocate, I use my life experience to encourage others to live with Unshakeable Purpose — no matter their age, background, losses, or setbacks.
I have seen both the beauty and the brokenness within families, communities, and the system. Those experiences shaped my mission to bring hope, healing, encouragement, and practical solutions to others.
My passion has changed since I wrote my book in 2021, however, it will always include helping others. Now, I focus on helping women over 60 rediscover their voice, purpose, confidence, and God-given calling. I believe life does not end at retirement, hardship, grief, or disappointment. We were made for more, and it is never too late to rebuild, reinvent, learn new skills, create freedom, and live with purpose. We must push through when we are Silenced by Experience.​
​
I advocate for strengthening families whenever possible, supporting struggling parents with resources and encouragement, and helping families avoid burnout through compassion, unity, and community support. I strongly believe every child deserves a safe, stable, loving home where they feel protected, valued, and wanted.
​
Through my speaking, writing, social media, and digital education platforms, I encourage others to step out of fear, embrace new opportunities, and create lives filled with more peace, freedom, faith, and family connection. My message combines real-life experience, faith-centered encouragement, resilience, personal growth, and practical ways people can still earn and thrive in later seasons of life.
​
I wrote Kokoon on a Hill in 2021, to offer insight into the foster family experience — the challenges, heartbreak, victories, and hope that come with opening your home and heart to children in need. Today, my mission continues through Unshakeable Purpose: helping others realize that no matter what they have walked through, their story still matters, their purpose still exists, and their future can still be meaningful.

My Story
Elise M. Schuster is a published author, speaker, child advocate, and founder of the Unshakeable Purpose Mission — encouraging people to live with faith, purpose, hope, and resilience no matter their season in life.
As the mother of 2 birth children, 7 adopted children, and caregiver to 56 children in foster care, Elise uses her life experience to advocate for the safety and well-being of children and families. She believes we are all called to serve children, not a system driven by monetary gain. Elise recognizes the need for greater support, accountability, and reform within any system that works with children.
Through her advocacy, Elise promotes a more family-centered approach focused on strengthening families, supporting struggling parents, preventing unnecessary separation, and helping children find stability, healing, and hope. She believes when families receive proper support, fewer children fall through the cracks or age out without guidance and connection.
​
We all have a calling to do our part.
Together we can make big changes.

ADDING MORE WAYS TO HELP FAMILIES.
I have learned so many new ways to earn from home to have more time to spend with my family. I am using my days to share with others so they can stop overworking and have more time, more money, and more freedom to live their best life.

I chose the name Unshakeable Purpose because life has not always been easy, yet through every trial, loss, challenge, and season of starting over, I realized that purpose does not disappear. People may try to discourage you, circumstances may try to shake you, and fear may try to stop you, but when God places a calling on your life, it remains. Unshakeable Purpose represents standing strong in faith, continuing forward with hope, and helping others understand that no matter their age or past, they still have meaning, value, and a purpose worth living out.
