Hi, I’m Ellen Smile, and this channel is my heart on display. After losing my husband, Steve, I began sharing my real, unfiltered journey through grief, healing, and finding strength one day at a time. Here, you’ll find motivational live sessions, honest talks, and everyday moments like cooking, budgeting, emotional check-ins, and simple joys. This is a safe space for anyone navigating loss, life changes, or seeking comfort and connection. Whether you’re here for grief support, inspiration, or to feel less alone, you belong here. Together, we’ll grow through life’s hard and beautiful moments. I’m not perfect, but I promise to be real. If you’re looking for honest talks or everyday moments like what I’m making for dinner, managing money, or finding deals that bring a spark of joy, you’re in the right place. This channel is where real life unfolds raw, unfiltered, and full of struggles and victories. Join me on this journey, one day at a time.
