In this deeply inspiring episode of The Recovery Vow Podcast… Eric Kennedy sits down with Tanner Smith and his parents, Nicci and Mark, a family whose journey through autism, faith, and resilience has transformed not just their lives, but thousands of others. What began as fear, uncertainty, and a life-altering diagnosis turned into a story of purpose, growth, and unexpected impact.
Tanner shares his journey from early struggles with communication to becoming a confident, independent young man traveling the world, meeting celebrities, and inspiring audiences everywhere. But behind the spotlight is a family that fought through years of confusion, emotional breakdowns, and relentless effort just to reach a place many take for granted.
Mark and Nicci open up about the moment everything changed, the diagnosis that shattered their expectations, the financial and emotional weight that followed, and the silent battles they faced as parents trying to do everything right. From therapy sessions at the kitchen table to redefining their marriage and roles, their story is raw, real, and filled with moments that will truly inspire.
