My name is Shantel Y. Johnson, founder of Burned But Blessed LLC. I’m an Army veteran, a mother who lost her youngest daughter to leukemia, a burn survivor, and a woman in recovery from addiction that began with prescribed pain medication.

In 2023, a fire left me with third-degree burns over more than 35% of my body and left me disabled. My journey through loss, addiction, and survival has shaped a mission rooted in faith and purpose: helping others find hope through their own difficult seasons.

I offer the understanding that comes from lived experience, a listening ear, and encouragement to take the next step. You don’t have to have all the answers to reach out.

Shantel Y. Johnson

A listening ear. A place to start.

Support, freely given.

All coaching and support are free. My mission is to help people feel heard, supported, and less alone.

01 / GRIEF

Living with loss

Compassionate grief coaching and support, including for parents learning to live without a child. Space to share, remember, and move at your own pace.

02 / BURN RECOVERY

Life after the fire

Encouragement for burn survivors and their loved ones from someone who understands how a burn injury can change your life.

03 / ADDICTION RECOVERY

Hope for what’s next

Support and encouragement for people navigating addiction recovery and life after addiction, with a focus on seeking appropriate treatment and building a life forward.

Coaching and peer support are not medical care, therapy, or crisis services. My personal recovery story is not a treatment plan. Please work with qualified healthcare professionals for treatment and medication decisions.

Bringing the mission to you

Hope has no
zip code.

I welcome opportunities to connect with hospitals, recovery programs, community organizations, and families wherever my support is needed.

My goal is to travel around the world sharing a message of survival, faith, and purpose. Contact me to discuss a visit, speaking opportunity, collaboration, or support for mission travel.
