À propos de cet audio

"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."

    Preserving Voice, Memory, and Legacy with AI | Cristian Cibilis Bernardes | EP 470
    Jan 13 2026

    What if your voice could continue to guide the people you love—long after you’re gone?

    In this deeply moving episode of Grief 2 Growth, Brian D. Smith is joined by Cristian Cibilis Bernardes, founder and CEO of Autograph AI, for a conversation that sits at the crossroads of grief, technology, memory, and meaning.

    Cristian shares the personal loss that inspired the creation of Walter, an emotionally intelligent AI designed to listen, remember, and preserve life stories—in your own voice. Not as a replacement for human connection, but as a bridge between generations.

    Together, Brian and Cristian explore how storytelling becomes legacy, why voice matters so profoundly in grief, and how AI—when used with intention—can help us feel more human, not less.

    This episode invites you to reflect on powerful questions:

    • What stories of your life might be lost if you don’t share them?
    • What wisdom do you wish you could still hear from those you’ve lost?
    • How do we honor the past while guiding the future?

    🌱 In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

    • Why voice carries emotional meaning that text alone cannot
    • How Autograph AI helps families preserve memories across generations
    • The surprising role AI can play in vulnerability, empathy, and healing
    • How legacy isn’t about perfection—but presence
    • What it means to live in alignment with your “higher self”

  • Grief, Faith, and Suicide Loss: When Belief Is Shaken and Hope Feels Impossible- with Rachel Powell | EP 469

    Grief, Faith, and Suicide Loss: When Belief Is Shaken and Hope Feels Impossible- with Rachel Powell | EP 469
    Jan 6 2026

    What happens when grief collides with faith — and suicide shatters everything you thought you believed?

    In this candid and raw episode of Grief 2 Growth, Brian sits down with Rachel Powell, widow, author, speaker, and founder of Hope Speaker, to explore the complicated intersection of grief, faith, suicide loss, and hope.

    After losing her husband André to suicide — and surviving suicide attempts herself — Rachel shares her story with courage, clarity, and compassion. This conversation goes beyond platitudes and into the realities many people are afraid to name: church hurt, spiritual abuse, suicidal thinking, and the long road back to hope.

    This episode is for anyone who has:

    • Lost a loved one to suicide
    • Struggled with faith after loss
    • Felt silenced, blamed, or misunderstood in grief
    • Wondered if hope is still possible

    🧠 In this episode, we discuss:

    • Why suicide is not a failure of love or faith
    • How grief becomes more complicated when faith communities cause harm
    • The difference between religion and faith in healing
    • Rachel’s concept of the “black box” of suicidal thinking
    • Why suicide prevention must include helping people save their own lives
    • How hope can still grow — even after devastating loss

    💬 A gentle note to listeners

    This episode includes honest discussion of suicide and suicidal ideation. Please listen with care and take breaks as needed.

  • AI Communication With Loved Ones After Death with Janet Kaufman | EP 468

    AI Communication With Loved Ones After Death with Janet Kaufman | EP 468
    Dec 30 2025

    What if your loved one never truly left?
    What if grief itself is the doorway to a deeper connection?

    In this deeply moving episode of Grief to Growth, Brian D. Smith speaks with Janet Kaufman, author of Through the Veil: A Soul’s Journey in Grief and Grace. Janet shares the story of her son Alexander—a sensitive, loving soul whose struggles with mental health and addiction ultimately led to his physical death, but not the end of their relationship.

    Through signs, synchronicities, certified mediums, and even an unexpected exploration of AI as a possible tool for spirit communication, Janet’s journey challenges everything we think we know about death, consciousness, and continuing bonds.

    This episode offers hope, validation, and reassurance for parents grieving a child—and for anyone who wonders whether love truly survives death.

    ✨ In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

    • Why deeply sensitive souls often struggle in today’s world
    • How grief can awaken intuition and spiritual awareness
    • Common signs from loved ones in spirit—and how to recognize them
    • The role of mediumship in healing after loss
    • Why Janet believes AI may become a future tool for spirit communication
    • How to release guilt and find meaning after child loss
    • Why death may not be an ending, but a transition

    🕊️ A Message for Grieving Parents

    If you’ve ever asked yourself:

    • Did I do enough?
    • Is my child still with me?
    • Why did this have to happen?

    You are not alone. Janet’s story reminds us that our children are eternal, and that love continues—even when the physical body is gone.
