About - Grace Guided Life

MEET THE BLOGGER

Hey Friends! My name is Renee Socha and I’m the face behind the blog.

I’m a wife, mama of three, special needs advocate, and the voice behind Grace Guided Life. This little corner of the internet began back in 2018 as a way to share my motherhood journey—especially the ups, downs, and small (but mighty!) victories of raising a daughter with cerebral palsy and autism. What started as a space to process and connect has grown into something so much more—a place where faith meets family, and where travel feels a little more possible, no matter what your circumstances look like.

These days, I wear a few hats: blogger, travel advisor, encourager, and your go-to gal for planning stress-free trips—whether you’re wrangling toddlers, navigating sensory needs, or coordinating a group getaway. I believe that families deserve rest, connection, and memory-making, and I’m here to help you find that through thoughtful, grace-filled travel. From Disney tips to accessible resort reviews, I pour my heart into helping families feel seen, supported, and inspired to explore the world—one trip (and one blog post) at a time.

I love sharing the gems I’ve discovered from our own travels—those little moments, hidden spots, and helpful tips that make a big difference.

My heart is in the memories made along the way—whether it’s a big family vacation, a girls’ getaway, or a spontaneous adventure with my kids. Traveling with the people I love brings me so much joy, and I hope something you find here sparks that same excitement (and gives you the confidence!) to start planning your own unforgettable moments.

As a special needs mama, I know that travel doesn’t look the same for every family—and that’s okay. I’m passionate about making travel feel more doable and inclusive for families navigating disabilities. From sensory-friendly tips to accessible destinations, I’m here to help you feel supported and seen as you plan a trip that truly works for your family.

Traveling with Friends and Family brings me so much joy. It’s the moments spent and memories made together that I love!

I’ve always loved to travel, but I became a Travel Adivsor in 2024.

In June of 2024, I officially joined Kingdom Elite Travel—and it felt like stepping into something I didn’t even realize my heart had been waiting for. I’ve always loved planning trips, finding the little details that make travel feel extra special, and helping others feel confident when they’re navigating something new. Becoming a travel advisor gave me the opportunity to take that passion and turn it into something purposeful.

What I love most about this work is that it blends everything I care about: faith, family, connection, and meaningful experiences. Whether it’s a Disney vacation, a beachside all-inclusive, or a carefully thought-out trip for a family with special needs, I get to walk alongside people during one of the most joyful parts of life—planning for time together.

My heart especially beats for helping families like mine. As a special needs mom, I understand how many layers go into traveling with extra needs. My goal is to make those vacations not only possible, but peaceful and joy-filled. I want my clients to know they’re not just booking a trip—they’re creating space for memories, growth, and grace.
