About Me

Maddie is the founder of Smile Blog. She spends a majority of her time researching mental health in teens. As a mental health awareness activist, she strives to normalize talking about mental health and provide resources for teens. In her free time, she enjoys building websites, designing logos, organizing, cleaning, driving around, running errands, hanging out with friends, spending time with her four dogs & listening to music.

On a side note–I want to share the insights and breakthroughs I have had through my journey of therapy to help you all in any way, shape, or form.

I wanted to create this blog because I wish I had a space like this when I was younger so that I could learn more about myself and my mental health. I don’t think there are enough resources where you can read about tips and tricks that have helped others suffering from mental illness, have the opportunity to interact with other people, and indulge in a new lifestyle full of self-care and mental health awareness.
