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."

    Nervous System Healing After Trauma: From Survival to Sovereignty with Angela Jean

    What if healing isn’t about fixing your thoughts—but about retraining your body?

    In this deeply moving episode of Grief to Growth, Brian Smith sits down with Angela Jean, a mindset and nervous system strategist whose life was shaped by profound trauma—and radical transformation.

    After surviving childhood abuse, homelessness, and the devastating loss of her father and sister to suicide, Angela discovered something that changed everything:
    🧠 The body remembers danger before the mind can explain it.

    This conversation goes beyond performative healing and into the lived, embodied work of coming home to yourself.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why mindset work alone often fails after trauma
    • How the nervous system “locks up” in survival mode
    • Why rhythm and micro-movements signal safety to the body
    • How childhood trauma imprints beliefs about love, pain, and worth
    • Practical tools to interrupt anxiety, anger, and emotional collapse in real time
    • Why healing is a daily practice—and who you train yourself to be matters

    Angela shares simple, powerful techniques you can use in the moment—not someday, not after years of therapy—to regulate your nervous system and reclaim your inner authority.

    This episode is for anyone who:

    • Feels stuck in survival mode
    • Is tired of chasing healing
    • Has experienced trauma, abuse, or suicide loss
    • Is ready to stop abandoning themselves and start listening inward

    🌿 About Angela Jean

    Angela Jean is a mindset and nervous system strategist who blends rhythm, embodied movement, and nervous system science to help people move from self-sabotage into sovereignty.

  • The Million Stages of Grief: Surviving the Unthinkable with Michael Reed | EP 465

    The Million Stages of Grief: Surviving the Unthinkable with Michael Reed | EP 465
    Dec 9 2025

    In this deeply moving conversation, Brian sits down with Michael Reed, author of The Million Stages of Grief, whose life changed forever on the night of the 2016 Gatlinburg fires. Michael lost his wife Constance and daughters Chloe and Lily in the tragedy—and today, he shares not only his story, but the wisdom, compassion, and hard-earned insight that grew from unimaginable loss.

    This episode explores what grief really looks like—messy, nonlinear, human—and why comparing grief (“less than,” “more than,” “should be over it”) only creates more suffering.

    You’ll hear how Michael went from suicidal despair to becoming a voice for grievers everywhere.

    💡 What You’ll Learn

    • Why the “five stages of grief” don’t reflect most people’s real experience
    • How men are socialized to hide grief—and how to break that cycle
    • The truth about survivor’s guilt
    • Faith after tragedy: doubt, anger, surrender, and transformation
    • What helped Michael choose to live when he didn’t want to
    • How writing became a lifeline
    • What it means to move forward without “moving on”
