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 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."

Are We Living With Ghosts?- Stephen Berkley

Send me a Text Message- please include your contact information so I can respondLIVE Q&A with the filmmaker of "Best Documentary" winner Living with Ghosts, a seven-year exploration into the nature of consciousness and whether after-death communication can or should be facilitated in a clinical setting to treat chronic grief.The film is not publicly available. But, if you'd like to view it, you can join a private screening:To register:https://www.livingwithghostsmovie.com/joingrief2growthStephen Berkley, Writer/Director/ProducerAlthough Stephen has worked in multiple capacities inside the entertainment/media industry for over 30 years, Living With Ghosts is his first fully self-produced feature film. The story idea came with the death of Stephen’s father when — shortly afterwards — his mother began reporting interactions with whom she believed to be Dad's ghost — a real-life Mrs. Muir situation. Which naturally begged the question: Are ghosts a real phenomenon or are they merely symptomatic of profound grief? Living With Ghosts is the culmination of a seven-year investigation into the nature of love, death, and ghosts and features three survivors' quest for answers.🔗 All my links and contact info:https://pages.grief2growth.com/profile👛 Toss me a tip:https://www.grief2growth.com/tipjar💰 Become a Patron (regular donor)https://www.patreon.com/grief2growth🌐 Grief 2 Growth website:https://www.grief2growth.com🎙️Podcast:https://podcast.grief2growth.com/⏰ Book a free 30-minute consultationhttps://grief2growth.as.me/30-minute-complimentaryVisit the Grief 2 Growth store for FREE items as well as other tools to help you along your journey:Guided MeditationsMy book GEMS of Healing (signed copy)My Oracle deck to help you connect with your loved onesMini-coursesMini-guidesCheck it out at https://grief2growth.com/store I'm excited to announce a new resource I'm very proud of.

Shocking Near-Death Experience in the Womb! Edy Nathan on Grief and Spiritual Awakening

Send me a Text Message- please include your contact information so I can respondEdy Nathan is the bestselling author of It's Grief, where she examines the emotional and devastating impact of loss and trauma. Grief is hard to talk about. Edy teaches you to dance with your grief, to know it as a way to know yourself. Whether it is the loss of a loved one or the loss of a limb or the loss of the life you once knew, it is your soul that offers the answers to relief. An essential element in her practice is to offer clients the chance to combine psychotherapy with a deeper, more spiritual understanding of the self. She is dedicated to helping people understand their grief, cope with the fear and struggle that holds them back, and learn to live fully.We briefly discuss the NDE she had in utero, which she believes shaped her life. She helps people recover and integrate NDEs working with ACISTE (American Center for the Integration of Spiritually Transformative Experiences).https://www.facebook.com/EdyNathanPsychotherapy/https://www.instagram.com/edynathan/https://www.linkedin.com/in/edy-nathan/https://www.youtube.com/user/edynathanhttps://twitter.com/edynathan1https://edynathan.medium.comVisit the Grief 2 Growth store for FREE items as well as other tools to help you along your journey:Guided MeditationsMy book GEMS of Healing (signed copy)My Oracle deck to help you connect with your loved onesMini-coursesMini-guidesCheck it out at https://grief2growth.com/store I'm excited to announce a new resource I'm very proud of.
