Grief 2 Growth
"Transform your grief into growth with Brian Smith, an empathetic life coach, certified grief educator, public speaker, and author who has walked the treacherous path of profound loss. Grief 2 Growth unravels the intricacies of life, death, and the spaces in between, offering listeners a new perspective on what it means to be 'Planted. Not Buried.'
Join Brian and his compelling guests—bereaved parents, life coaches, mediums, healers, near death experiencers, and experts in various fields—as they discuss topics like survival guilt, synchronicities, and the scientific evidence supporting the existence of the afterlife. You'll come away with actionable advice, renewed hope, and the comforting knowledge that love and life are eternal.
One of the most powerful ways we know what awaits us and where we came from is Near Death Experiences. Much of Brian's knowledge is derived from extensive study of this phenomenon, along with interviewing dozens of near death experience experiencers.
Brian knows the soul-crushing weight of loss; his journey began with the sudden passing of his fifteen-year-old daughter, Shayna. It's not an odyssey he would have chosen, but it has been an odyssey that has chosen him to guide others.
Grief 2 Growth is a sanctuary for those grieving, those curious about the beyond, and anyone eager to explore the fuller dimensions of life and death. Each episode delves into topics that matter most—how to cope, grow, and connect with loved ones in the afterlife. If you ask: “Where did I come from? Why am I here? Where am I going?” this podcast is for you.
This isn't about forgetting your loss or simply 'moving on'; it's about growing in a new direction that honors your loved ones and your spirit. It’s about finding joy and purpose again.
Grief 2 Growth is more than a podcast; it's a community of souls committed to supporting one another through the darkest valleys and highest peaks of human existence. Listen today and start planting seeds for a brighter, more spiritually connected tomorrow."

FROM SKEPTIC TO BELIEVER: Kim’s INCREDIBLE Journey from Atheism to Afterlife Connections!
I met Kim a couple of years ago on Facebook. At the time, she was working for Snopes, a fact-checking website. Kim joined a group I as in called Afterlife Topics and Metaphysics. Kim was of the opinion that when you die, you die. That's it. Lights out. Game over. People who believed in the afterlife were self-deluded, wishful thinking.
But, Kim was a true skeptic, open to data. She asked if anyone in the group knew of a really good medium. She wanted to test the best and reassure herself that mediums are all frauds. I referred Kim to my friend, Carolyn Clapper, the rest is history.
Fast forward a couple of years and Kim remains an atheist and a skeptic. But, her eyes have been opened to a whole new view of reality. She has an on-going relationship with her deceased husband, Joseph. She works for www.truthorfiction.com and she has founded a society for people who want to maintain a relationship with those who have crossed over at www.redstringsociety.com
In this interview, we discuss what it means to be a skeptic, what it means to be an atheist, the nature of reality and how this larger view of life helps us cope with grief.
