このコンテンツについて

"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."

  • The Million Stages of Grief: Surviving the Unthinkable with Michael Reed | EP 465
    2025/12/09

    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”

  • Supporting a Grieving Spouse with Compassion: A Conversation with Samina Bari | EP 464
    2025/12/03

    In today’s powerful episode of Grief 2 Growth, Brian sits down with Samina Bari — author of Don’t Call Me Widow and host of the Afterlife podcast — for a raw and insightful look at spousal loss, solo parenting, grief brain, and the quiet ways we can show up for those who are hurting most.

    Samina lost her husband suddenly in 2023. What followed was a journey through shock, trauma, identity loss, and rebuilding life as a solo parent of twins. Her honesty brings comfort, clarity, and guidance to anyone walking beside someone who’s grieving — or navigating grief themselves.

    🔑 In This Episode You’ll Discover
    • What “grief brain” really feels like and why it affects memory, decisions, and daily functioning
    • Why year two can feel harder than year one
    • How solo parenting is different from single parenting
    • Why the word “widow” is so emotionally charged — and why Samina rejects it
    • How children grieve and what they need most
    • What actually helps someone grieving (and what makes things worse)
    • The unseen emotional and logistical weight after a spouse dies
    • Why saying the loved one’s name matters more than you think
    • How friends can become the lifeline a grieving person depends on

    🌟 About Samina Bari

    Website: https://saminabari.com

    Books:

    • I Can, I Will, and I Did
    • Don’t Call Me Widow
      Podcast: Afterlife (available on all major platforms)

    Samina blends lived experience with heartfelt advocacy, helping others understand the realities of spousal grief in a culture that’s deeply uncomfortable with loss.


    🧠 Listener Takeaways
    • Small acts of kindness matter far more than big gestures
    • Children are not naturally resilient — they need support
    • Grief changes identity, timelines, and the imagined future
    • Community support can literally hold a grieving person together
    • It’s never too late to reach out to someone who’s hurting
