Permission to Heal

“No matter what adversity you have, you can conquer it,” Kenny says. “No matter how big or small.” 

 Paul Smith and Kenny Tedford are professional speakers and storytellers, and their story is captured in the book, Four Days with Kenny Tedford: Life Through the Eyes of a Child Trapped in a Partially Blind & Deaf Man's Body. Buy your copy on Amazon or support local and independent authors at the Permission to Heal Bookshop. 

 Kenny Tedford is one of only two deaf people in the world with a master’s degree in storytelling, which he earned at 55, almost half a century after being told by teachers and psychologists that he would never complete the third grade.

Paul Smith is one of the world’s leading experts in business storytelling. He is one of Inc. Magazine’s Top 100 Leadership Speakers. 

Paul and Kenny met at a storytellers conference and became friends almost instantly. Kenny traveled from LA to Ohio to stay with Paul and his family so they could get to know each other in-depth and write their wonderful book - Four Days with Kenny Tedford: Life Through the Eyes of a Child Trapped in a Partially Blind & Deaf Man's Body.

Phoebe Leona Miller - Emotional Recovery and Embodiment

Storyteller. Author. Dancer. Mover. Teacher. Mentor. Public Speaker

Phoebe's mission is to empower people through movement & storytelling to fully embody their bodies, stories, and lives to co-create a world that is radiant from the inside out.  Phoebe is a dancer, yoga teacher, and transformational guide who helps men & women feel more embodied through somatic movement and expanded awareness practices to become more empowered in who they are, who they are becoming, and have a greater sense of belonging. 

She has been a teacher and guide for most of her life, but it was after a year of extreme loss in 2013 when she found herself in the vast open space in between her old life and a new life, that she dove deeply into her practices and began her company, nOMad to help others through their own transitions and spaces in between. 

 Throughout that time, Phoebe also developed her own movement/somatic practice, Mvt109™ for students to fully embrace the freedom of moving in their bodies, transform old and held patterns, and reclaim the vibrations & stories they want to bring to life.
