S1E45: Creating Smiles - with Kari Mills
This week on Show Me the Way, I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing my friend, Kari Mills. Kari and I originally connected through business a few years ago, and while we don’t see each other in person often, we’ve stayed close through social media—cheering each other on and exchanging smiles from afar. Kari is truly a ray of sunshine, lighting up everyone’s feed with her joyful dancing reels and positive energy.
A devoted wife, mom of two, and dental hygienist, Kari brings smiles to people both online and in real life. But as we chatted, it became clear that behind her ever-present smile was a recent season of deep grief and personal challenge. In a beautifully honest and vulnerable conversation, Kari opened up about the loss that dimmed her light and the journey she’s taken to find herself again.
She shared how she navigated her pain, how it reshaped her, and why she’s committed to helping others rediscover their joy after difficult times. Kari may not be the same person she was before her grief—but she’s dancing again, and her story is a powerful reminder that healing is possible, even when life looks different on the other side.
Tune in for a heartfelt conversation about resilience, identity, and the courage it takes to smile again. And follow Kari on Instagram @kari_rdh_toothlover so you can see all of her fun reels, too!
