Welcome to another inspiring episode of Hero Up! Today, I’m thrilled to have Tory Smock, the founder and CEO of Room for Joy. Her journey began with a personal struggle—scoliosis. Tori knows firsthand the power of a healing environment. After her own bedroom makeover, she felt transformed, physically and emotionally. That experience sparked a mission: to create dream room makeovers for other children facing chronic illnesses.


Key Points Covered:

  • Creating Healing Spaces: The vital role of tailored environments in supporting the well-being of chronically ill children.
  • Tory's Personal Journey: How her own experience with scoliosis led to the founding of Room for Joy.
  • Room for Joy's Impact: The incredible effects of room makeovers on children's emotional and mental health.
  • Faith and Service: The influence of faith in Tory’s journey and mission.
  • Room Makeover Process: The comprehensive approach to creating personalized, healing spaces.
  • Future Goals: Room for Joy’s vision to expand its reach nationwide.


Remember, every room makeover is a beacon of hope and healing for these brave children!


I hope you found this episode as inspiring as I did. Stay tuned for more uplifting stories on Hero Up, and remember to follow Tori Smock and Room for Joy for more incredible updates.
