Grief 2 Growth
Brian D. Smith
"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 guestsโbereaved parents, life coaches, mediums, healers, near death experiencers, and experts in various fieldsโas 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 mostโhow to cope, grow, and connect with loved ones in the afterlife. If you ask: โWhere did I come from? Why am I here? Where am I going?โ 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. Itโs 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."

Colin Perry- Jesus Rescued Him As He Was Descending Into Hell
Send me a Text Message- please include your contact information so I can respondColin had a very unusual Near Death Experience that included a brush with hell. I asked Colin some very pointed questions, which he responded to. Please take from this what resonates with you and leave what does not.In this interview, C. Thomas Perry shares his spiritual journey, including a near-death experience where he sought help from Jesus to overcome fear and entered a world of light and love, strengthening his beliefs in angels and the importance of making good choices. Perry believes that God's core teachings are about love, and everyone will experience this love if they follow the path of light, love, and goodness. Brian and Colin also discuss the pushback against near-death experiences and the importance of holding onto the belief that something beautiful awaits our loved ones after they pass. Lastly, Perry emphasizes that people are eternal beings, and death is just a passing of the physical body.๐ฌ In this inspiring interview, Brian Smith talks with Colin Thomas Perry, author of "Dying to be Alive," about his near-death experience and spiritual journey.๐ก And if you or someone you know is struggling with grief, be sure to check out my free resource, "GEMS: Four Steps to Move from Grief to Joy." https://grief2growth.com/gems๐ Thank you for watching, and we hope this conversation brings you hope and peace.๐ All my links and contact info:https://pages.grief2growth.com/profile๐ Join my Facebook group (it's lively!)https://www.facebook.com/groups/grief2growth๐ Toss me a tip:https://www.grief2growth.com/tipjar๐ฐ Join My Email Listhttps://pages.grief2growth.com/join-the-listโฐ Book a free 30-minute consultationhttps://grief2growth.as.me/30-minute-complimentary๐ Don't miss out on this thought-provoking conversation!
