Hi, I’m Alyssa!
I am a writer, speaker, artist and disabilities advocate.
Living with a chronic, progressive nerve disorder has presented unique and unprecedented challenges in my life since I was a child.
Everyday tasks require extraordinary effort, but learning to live with these daily difficulties year after year has taught me how to trust God’s limitless grace within the limitations of my disability.
My heart is to encourage and empower others to embrace their unique differences and share their gifts and talents with the world.
My hope is to share meaningful messages through writing, art and videos to bring a shift in perspective about physical and emotional hardship.

Doubtless: Walking By Faith, Not By Sight (PRE-ORDER)
Alyssa Kumle enjoyed all the pastimes of a typical American childhood—twirling in tutus at ballet lessons, scoring goals in soccer games, diving off blocks at swim meets, and jumping on her trampoline.
But soon into elementary school, she suddenly found herself unable to participate in basic physical activities. She began to trip while jumping rope, struggled to stay standing while roller blading, and couldn't keep up with the other kids at recess. Her P.E. teacher finally called her parents and told them she believed something was wrong and to get her checked out.
At the age of 8, her worst fears were confirmed: she discovered she had a neurological disease and would grow increasingly weaker to the point of becoming physically disabled and restricting her mobility to the use of leg braces and a walker or a wheelchair.
Now, as a young woman in her mid-20's, Alyssa recounts her story of defeating the doubt that entered her life the moment she received the dismal diagnosis that would change her life forever.
Join Alyssa on an awe-inspiring journey of overcoming fear, loss, anxiety, depression, self-hatred, and so much more through the power of Jesus Christ.
