Influential Women Showcases Cortne’ Lee Smith: Workplace & Youth Grief Trainer and Ministry Marketplace Leader
Winston, Georgia – Cortne’ Lee Smith is a Workplace & Youth Grief Trainer and Ministry Marketplace leader who empowers organizations, schools, and families to navigate loss with clarity, compassion, and structure. As the Founder of 1 Million Hearts Reconnected, she serves as a Youth Grief Guide, helping young people process emotions, build resilience, and find healing, while equipping workplaces with practical tools for emotional wellness and sustainable culture care. Through her blog community, workshops, and trainings, Cortne’ bridges faith, emotional health, and professional development, creating spaces where hearts reconnect and people thrive beyond loss.
Cortne’ attributes her professional journey to a profound personal transformation. After the loss of her husband and later marrying a widower, she felt called to redirect her 21-year career in corporate training toward grief wellness. She now supports both adults and youth through honest, heart-centered education grounded in sincere care, faith, and the belief that grief can be a source of growth when approached intentionally. Prayer and reflection are integral to her work, framing each session with compassion and focus.
Her advice to young women entering this field is simple but essential: heal yourself first. Cortne’ emphasizes, “When you lead from a grounded, open heart, your work becomes impactful and authentic. Without that foundation, there is a risk of unintentionally harming others. Be intentional about the legacy you want to leave, and let that guide how you show up and serve.”

She expresses care through cooking and cherishes time with her grandchildren, which reminds her of the importance of patience, joy, and legacy.
