About Us

Our Mission

At The Smith Connection we inspire open-minded people to experience more fun, more love and easy financial flow. We provide strategic and practical tools for living well in a life filled with increased harmony of: work life and personal life, focus and relaxation, fun and creating legacies. We are excited about building an enlivening community where people make positive ripple effects by bringing their creativity out into the world.

Our Story

We’ve been married for over 14 years, and have seen the ups and downs of life along with it. After being hit with a number of devastating losses, and turning our distress against each other, we decided to do it differently. We made a decision to learn from those experiences, to help our lives and marriage, and in turn, help others. We have skillfully combined our talents, trainings and backgrounds to help others thrive in their lives as well. We are certified as Conscious Living and Loving Coaches by the Hendricks Institute, and now live our commitment to letting life, love and business be easy.

If you would like us to appear on your talk show, speak to your group, or consult with your executives, email us at thesmiths@thesmithconnection.com or call 949.274.9741.
