It is not just Kim’s story of overcoming a tremendous amount of hurdles and heartbreaking events, it also makes you think of your own life and how you have handled and/or are handling your own losses and difficulties.
It also reminded me that just because someone is laughing and smiling, it does not mean they are completely at peace and okay. We are all questioning ourselves and our emotions at any given moment. Some of us, especially us men, keep it all inside and adhere to how we were brought up …. show no weakness. Kim’s book provides a gateway to a different approach.

You do an amazing job of combining inspiration, memoir, and practical advice to parents and others based on your experience with your kids (and in such a clea, simple, and humble way).

Your Heart's Journey With The SMILE™ Approach:
A Testimony of Transformation
Caroline
Participating in SMILE™ offers you a chance to pause and reflect on your overall well-being. Life is stressful and SMILE™ provides ways to check in with yourself and learn strategies to find calm and peace in a demanding world.
Becky
The SMILE™ program not only helped guide me as a school counselor but also helped foster my personal growth and healing as well. After completing the SMILE™ sessions, I felt energized to get to know my students, their stories, and how I could help advocate for their academic, social, and emotional needs. While also discovering my own need to heal from my unresolved grief, and the impact it had on preventing me from being the most healthy socially, emotionally, and physically that I could be. Everyone could benefit from Kim's SMILE™ program and knowing her. She is a beautiful soul, a heart with ears, and a brilliant keeper of knowledge. I can't thank her enough for the courage and health she has given my life!
Kim
SMILE™ was a great experience for me! The activities Kim shared and facilitated during our time together allowed me to look more closely at myself, my personal habits and my professional practices. During my three hours of 1:1 coaching, Kim helped me refine my interactions with staff and students at my school in ways that facilitate connection rather than control. Every person within the SMILE™ family has different goals, concerns and areas in their lives or profession that lend themselves to serious growth potential. No matter where your journey to self-discovery and growth take you, Kim will walk the path side by side with you!
Laura
I was doubting Thomas when I first heard about SMILE. I thought there was no way I could talk about my personal life/feeling to anyone. I am a private person, that is my business, but I was wrong. Going through the sessions I found it was helping me handle situations/moments in my life, understanding there are ways to heal through activities, breathing techniques, and listening to others. I started to feel less intrusive to open up and share some of what I was feeling. Thank You!

The Soulful Legacy & Holistic Grief Transformation Framework
"Honoring Stories, Embracing Hearts, Leaving Legacies."
The Soulful Legacy & Holistic Grief Transformation Framework offers a compassionate approach to navigating the deeply personal journey of self-reflection and legacy creation in life’s final chapter. By integrating emotional, cultural, and spiritual dimensions, this framework empowers individuals—whether in group workshops or one-on-one sessions—to embrace their unique stories, find meaning in their experiences, and leave a lasting legacy of wisdom and love.
This framework supports individuals at the end-of-life, due to age or illness, as they embark on a transformative journey of self-awareness, self-love, self-forgiveness, and self-compassion. Through storytelling, we help uncover and honor the lessons, wisdom, and traditions that have shaped their lives, enabling them to create a meaningful and enduring legacy for future generations while fostering peace, acceptance, love, and connection.
The Grief Recovery Method is an educational program that helps individuals give voice to their grief, providing tools to heal unresolved emotional pain from accumulated losses.
GRM is a step-by-step approach that helps uncover and express the emotional experience of grief. It begins by identifying life’s losses, recognizing old, ineffective beliefs and coping tools, and then introducing new, effective tools to release withheld emotions. Throughout, the griever is listened to and supported in expressing the full range of emotions tied to their losses, without judgment, comparison, criticism, or the need to "fix it."

This program helped me complete a family relationship that has been challenging for me throughout my life. Through facilitated reading, homework, and writing I was able to release issues I didn't even realize I had been carrying. I feel much lighter and happier--and I didn't have to wait for this family member to pass before I addressed it. I am now able to interact with love and light. Thank you!

"Grief" is not what I thought, as it has many meanings. Kim offered the Grief Recovery Method program, and after listening to her talk to me about it, I decided it was what I needed.
Over 7 weeks, we met once a week and went through the steps. It wasn't easy. There were tears and reflection and some revelations. Not only about my journey , but my life too. It is amazing what we carry through our lives. In a word, I feel.... Freer... Better... Enough. I am working on all the things I learned. Every day is a step towards finding myself and forgiving myself and others.
I recommend having Kim take your through the GRM. If you are scared? I was too. I made a decision to put myself first. I am so glad I did.
Kim is compassionate and understanding. She is committed to seeing her clients through steps to bring them to a place of ENOUGH.
THANK YOU, KIM. WITH MY WHOLE HEART!
You ALL deserve a life of understanding, freedom, and self-love. Sometimes, we need a bit of help to achieve those.
