    In this episode of Grief 2 Growth, Brian Smith welcomes Blaise Kennedy—a spiritual teacher whose work challenges the solitary nature of personal development. Blaise invites us into a space of deep relational healing, showing us how trauma lives not just in our bodies, but in our families, our ancestry, and the collective fields of consciousness we all share.

    🔍 What You'll Discover:

    The surprising power of “feeling together”—and why it’s so healingHow trauma is passed through generations and collective fields 🧬The myths of rugged individualism in Western culture and spiritualityWhy men often avoid emotional spaces—and how we can change that 💬How grief, when witnessed, becomes transformational 💔→🌱What younger generations are teaching us about the pursuit of meaningHow to access the light you were born to bring into the world ✨

    ✨ Episode Summary:
    What if your deepest grief was actually your greatest opportunity for growth? In this heart-opening conversation, Brian D. Smith sits down with photographer, filmmaker, and former attorney Peter Alessandria to explore how loss, self-doubt, and life’s most painful detours can lead to profound spiritual awakening.

    Peter shares his personal transformation—how losing everything during the 2008 financial crisis set him on a path to uncovering his creative gifts, and how his brother’s unexpected passing deepened his spiritual conviction. His documentary, Every Soul Knows, weaves together the voices of over 60 near-death experiencers, mediums, and spiritual teachers—all pointing to a powerful truth: we are so much more than we think we are.

    💡 In this episode, we discuss:

    Peter’s journey from law to photography to filmmaking 🎬How loss and failure can lead to breakthrough moments 🌱What NDEs reveal about the afterlife, soul contracts & reincarnationThe life-changing message Peter received after his brother’s death 💔Behind the scenes of the making of Every Soul KnowsHow to apply spiritual truths to everyday challenges 🙏Why YOU came here—and what your soul already knows ✨

    What if your grief isn't just your own—but a wound passed down through generations? In this powerful episode, I speak with psychotherapist, author, and IFS lead trainer Tamala Floyd about the healing power of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and ancestral wisdom.

    Tamala breaks down how parts of ourselves—like the people-pleaser or the inner critic—form in response to trauma, and how they can be lovingly unburdened, not exiled. She also discusses how healing isn’t just personal—it’s generational.

    You’ll Learn:
    ✅ What Internal Family Systems (IFS) is and how it works
    ✅ How trauma gets “stored” and passed through generations
    ✅ Why healing your “parts” can transform grief
    ✅ How your ancestors can become part of your healing team
    ✅ What “self-energy” is—and why it matters
    ✅ How stuck grief shows up in the body and nervous system

    Whether you're grieving a loss, struggling with emotional triggers, or carrying burdens that feel older than you are—this episode is a must-listen.

    In this episode of Grief 2 Growth, I sit down with David Hulse, a kindred soul whose journey closely mirrors my own—a shift from fear-based religion to love-centered spirituality. As a spiritual guide, teacher, and founder of the Academy for Spiritual Awakening, David has dedicated his life to helping others release limiting beliefs and awaken to a more expansive, compassionate faith.

    From his early days in fundamentalist Christianity to discovering the healing power of sound, frequency, and vibration, David’s story is one of transformation, courage, and deep wisdom.

    One of the most powerful moments in this episode is David’s first-hand experience helping release Oral Roberts’ son’s spirit—a remarkable insight into how religious beliefs can keep souls earthbound.

    Whether you’ve struggled with rigid religious teachings, are questioning your beliefs, or are simply curious about a more loving, inclusive spirituality, this conversation will inspire and challenge you.

    What We Discuss in This Episode:

    🔥 David’s transformation from fundamentalist Christianity to love-based spirituality
    🎶 How sound, frequency, and vibration can be powerful tools for awakening
    🤔 The dangers of fear-based religious teachings and how to break free
    🌍 The concept of universal reconciliation—does everyone return to God?
    📖 How hidden wisdom in the Bible reveals a more inclusive spirituality
    🕊️ David’s extraordinary story of releasing Oral Roberts’ son’s spirit
    🚪 How to move from religious dogma to a direct experience of the Divine
