What is
The Sparkle Effect?

Spreading Light, Kindness, and Connection -- One Intentional Moment At a Time

Born from grief, sobriety, autism, and love -- our little LLC started as a booth, a dream, and a disco ball. Now, it's morphing into something more : a movement towards compassion, creativity, and community. 

The Sparkle Effect is a lifestyle. A mission. A mood. A ministry. The Sparkle Effect is our first official LLC -- a grassroots platform created by me (Delia Jo) and my husband Ryan. It started with an idea: What if we used what little we had and what small daily joys light us up -- our stories, our pain, our gifts, our found items or "broken pieces" -- to make the world feel warmer, more sparkly, and more seen?

The Sparkle Effect includes:

Our boutique booth inside The Painted Tree in Franklin, TN (booth A11) 

Hand, poured, coconut soy wax candles from our other company, Let There Be Light Candle Co. 

Recycled art, curated gift baskets, Queso Queen creations and just food- or neurodivergent things that make us smile

Faith-based storytelling and support for sober and neurodivergent living via Program Neutral

Random, radical acts of kindness, like tipping hospitality workers on holidays or random Tuesdays 

Workshops, alcohol-free karaoke events, and book signings/mocktail tastings + queso crawls and dining conversation opportunities with other Nashville creatives

Why Are We Doing This?

We've been through the fire: addiction, grief, injury, rejection, loss. But God gave us each other and something even better: a reason to stay. We don't have all the answers but we know this 

"When you choose to sparkle in the dark, others find their way home too". 

Come visit up as our Franklin Booth! We are inside the Painted Tree on Murfreesboro Road with bright sparkly pink walls (a11).
