Welcome to A Contagious Smile, where lived experience meets unwavering compassion. This isn’t just a website. It’s a lifeline, a safe, empowering space for survivors, special needs families, veterans, individuals in recovery, and anyone who’s ever been made to feel like they don’t belong.
We know that healing isn’t linear, and smiles don’t always come easy, but we also know that when someone refuses to let you walk through life’s pain alone, everything begins to change.
Our mission isn’t to fix the entire world; it’s to light a spark in the hearts of those who’ve been dimmed by it. We believe that healing is contagious, and through connection, courage, and community, we can create a ripple effect of restoration that reaches far beyond the screen.
That’s why we created the A Contagious Smile Online Academy, a revolutionary, trauma-informed platform offering heartfelt, life-shifting courses for people in all stages of healing. These aren’t generic, cookie-cutter lessons. They’re real, raw, and written by someone who’s lived it, me. Whether you’re stepping into a new season after abuse, raising a child with unique needs, navigating recovery, or just trying to find yourself again, there’s something here for you.
And it doesn’t stop there.
Through our globally ranked podcasts, we bring truth-telling to the forefront. With every episode, we open the door to honest conversations about trauma, healing, parenting, resilience, and the real stories behind the smiles. These aren’t polished soundbites; they’re unfiltered moments of strength, vulnerability, and hope that remind listeners they’re not alone.
We strive to create a space where people don’t just survive; they rise. where stories turn into movements. where learning turns into healing. and where every smile shared is a victory reclaimed.
Join us. Listen. Learn. Heal. Grow. Together, we can make healing louder than hurt, one course, one story, one smile at a time.
We are a bully-free, judgment-free safe haven for survivors and special needs.
