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."

BREAKING the Cycle: Lisa Samet’s Powerful Approach to Rewiring Subconscious Patterns
Send me a Text Message- please include your contact information so I can respondMeeting Lisa was like meeting another version of myself in terms of the conclusions we have come to after years of observation of the human condition. I learned so much about understanding the why of what I have observed during our talk. In our work with clients, we have found that the issues we face, while unique in their particulars, are actually pretty much universal. And, by recognizing the patterns, we can break them. By realizing we are not alone, we can break the cycle of shame and guilt and work on these subconscious patterns that cause us to self-sabotage.Lisa Samet, ND, has been in private practice for almost 25 years, specializing in holistic healing to help patients lead more balanced lives. In recent years, she has expanded her offerings from Homeopathy and Nutrition to include “Emotional Repatterning,” a method of self-inquiry and self-awareness to shift deep subconscious beliefs and patterns which keep us emotionally stuck. Her passion for her work is evident in her new book, Emotional Repatterning: Healing Emotional Pain by Rewiring the Brain.You can find Lisa at: www.lisasamet.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.
