What if the world saw people with disabilities for who they really are—not as limitations to be pitied, but as leaders, change-makers, and warriors of hope?

In this powerful episode of See the Miracle, Brady Murray sits down with Katie Haynes, founder and CEO of Smiling While Sending Hope. Born from Katie’s own journey with chronic illness, this nonprofit is shaking up how we support and uplift individuals with disabilities. Katie opens up about her struggles, her triumphs, and the unshakable belief that every person—regardless of diagnosis—deserves dignity, purpose, and opportunity.

From the confidence she gained through 4-H to the bold vision she’s building today, Katie doesn’t just talk about advocacy—she lives it. With faith as her compass and community as her fuel, she’s challenging the status quo and calling out a world that too often overlooks the strength, intelligence, and value of people with disabilities.

Katie’s dream to become a motivational speaker is more than a goal—it’s a movement. One voice. One message. Thousands of lives waiting to be seen.

This episode is a wake-up call to rethink ability, reimagine leadership, and recognize the power of choosing purpose over pity.
