The "We Built This" global summit created a powerful space where survival transforms into thriving. Hosted by Victoria Cure, domestic violence survivor and founder of A Contagious Smile, this event brings together an extraordinary collection of voices who've turned their deepest wounds into wisdom.
Susan O'Mallan introduces her groundbreaking Thriver's Own Motivational Model, addressing the critical gap between crisis intervention and truly reclaiming joy after trauma. Carrie Blazer reveals the surprising connection between emotional pain and enlightenment through physics principles that explain how our darkest valleys create momentum for our greatest heights. Whitney Knox delivers crucial estate planning guidance specifically tailored for survivors navigating the complexities of protecting themselves and their loved ones.
The summit takes a profound turn as Keelan Flukiger shares his near-death experience and the WIPOS framework (Worth, Identity, Possibility, Ownership, Sovereignty) that emerged from his journey back from addiction and despair. Shane Boyd, who miraculously survived being run over by a truck, teaches us to recognize fear as a compass pointing toward growth rather than a signal to retreat.
Emily courageously reveals her path as a trauma-surviving mother breaking generational cycles, while Allison Graham offers practical resilience techniques through reframing negative thought patterns. Air Force veteran JJ Hawley's emotional account of contemplating suicide and finding purpose through sobriety culminates in his creation of Ripple Retreat—a healing space for recovery built on giving back to community.
The event concludes with powerful perspectives from Victoria and her husband Michael, who demonstrate the possibility of building a loving relationship after experiencing abuse. Their partnership embodies the summit's core message: with the right support and tools, survivors can create lives of purpose, joy and unconditional love beyond their trauma.
