Start with a laugh, stay for the lifelines. We open the door on a raw, hope-forward conversation about healing from narcissistic abuse, breaking generational trauma, and keeping a mission alive without selling its soul. From landing the cover of Podcasters International to launching VictoriaCure.com, we’re celebrating wins while staying grounded in the work that matters most: practical tools for survivors, special needs families, and anyone ready to end cycles of harm.

You’ll hear how a 1001-question recovery workbook became a daily map for clarity, how a 500-page draft on breaking the cycle is shaping into an accessible guide, and why our trauma-informed academy—recognized internationally and packed with free or low-cost classes—remains the backbone of our outreach. We get real about funding the platform out of pocket, why we choose service over ad spend, and how community support keeps doors open for families seeking safety and medical care.

Between the serious notes, there’s heart: our service dog Stucco guarding bedtime kisses, the joy of a soon-to-arrive white golden puppy, and the kind of married banter that reminds us humor heals too. We also talk about public figures who model compassion—Johnny Depp’s quiet hospital visits, Keanu Reeves’ philanthropy—and how small acts of humility can recalibrate a culture obsessed with surfaces. If you’ve ever felt judged for what you wear, the scars you carry, or the season you’re in, you’ll find company here and a few tools to reclaim your space.

Explore the resources at VictoriaCure.com and AContagiousSmile.com, take a free class, share the academy with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help others find these conversations.
