A Contagious Smile Academy is presenting its “We Built This” webinar, bringing together an impressive group of trauma survivors, veterans, and advocates who have channeled their experiences into meaningful change.
The presentation will be led by Susan Omilian, a pioneering attorney whose personal loss sparked significant legal reform efforts. Following the murder of her niece, Omilian created the Thriver Zone roadmap, offering a thorough framework for survivor empowerment.
Among the featured speakers is Kerry Blaser, who recently published My Inner Heroine: Exploring Feminine Pain. She will discuss her authentic journey through healing, transformation, and reclaiming her feminine identity. Learn how the Red Pill Shaman converted trauma into success through self-love, scientific approaches, and guidance from contemporary heroes.
JJ Holley, a combat veteran who established Ripple Retreat, contributes 75% of his organization’s profits to assist fellow veterans and individuals in recovery as they work to rebuild their lives. Kellan Fluckiger shares his compelling story of overcoming depression, addiction, and a near-death experience, now guiding others to break through lifelong obstacles and embrace bold, authentic purpose.
Kurt Warner serves as both a passionate author and licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of professional experience, committed to reducing human suffering through individual healing and broader social transformation. His personal experience with traumatic brain injury and mental health struggles provides him with exceptional empathy and understanding for discussions about transformation, justice, and life’s deeper significance.
Chris Callaghan contributes specialized knowledge from his career as a former homicide detective, judge, and international legal consultant. He provides practical approaches for improving personal safety, situational awareness, and building resilience during challenging times. Dee Hurley, working as a trauma-informed holistic coach, provides gentle yet effective methods to help survivors release their pain and restore inner peace.
Emily Cleghorn, both author and coach, assists trauma-surviving mothers in healing their motherhood experience and building harmonious homes using holistic approaches, community support, and profound compassion.
Victoria Cuore, founder of A Contagious Smile Academy, stands at the heart of this gathering. Having survived extreme abuse and more than 100 surgeries, she has transformed her suffering into a worldwide mission ensuring no survivor experiences isolation. Her courageous advocacy, innovative academy, and compassionate leadership demonstrate what it means to rise, rebuild, and lead with intention.
Insider Weekly has declared A Contagious Smile as the winner of the Best of Transformative Trauma Advocacy for Domestic Violence Survivors award, acknowledging the organization’s creative approach to healing and education through their trauma-informed online academy and support programs.
For over 19 years, the organization has assisted families dealing with both special needs and domestic violence survival, offering free and affordable resources specifically created for those who have felt overlooked or unsupported by conventional systems.
“We don’t do this for profit,” stated Victoria Cuore. “We do this because we know firsthand how it feels to survive hell, and we want to make sure no one has to go through it alone.”
The webinar reflects the organization’s fundamental belief that healing becomes achievable when survivors no longer experience isolation. The academy facilitates meaningful connections and transformation through trauma-informed courses and community support.
Additional surprise guests will contribute more lived experience, passion, and transformation to every memorable moment of this thorough program created to help survivors understand they’re not alone, that healing is achievable, and that a supportive community is ready to accompany them on their journey.
