Episode Summary:
Award-winning filmmaker and afterlife researcher Daniel Drasin joins Brian for one of the most mind-opening conversations in Grief to Growth history. From capturing real spirit voices through EVP to experiencing a solid, physical ghost encounter witnessed by multiple people, Daniel shares decades of research that challenge what we think we know about reality.

Together, they dive deep into instrumental transcommunication (ITC), the power of language in shaping our beliefs, and the vital distinction between scientific skepticism and close-minded debunking. Whether you’re grieving, curious, or deeply spiritual, this episode will stir your soul and stretch your mind.

• 📺 The mysterious origins of video and photographic spirit messages
• 👻 Daniel’s unforgettable experience with a spirit who physically manifested

What do you do when the person who caused your deepest pain is someone you once loved—and trusted?

In this gripping and emotionally raw episode, Scott Stewart shares his incredible story of survival, healing, and transformation. Raised in a home of fear, manipulation, and emotional volatility, Scott’s life was forever changed when his father murdered his mother. But instead of staying locked in bitterness, Scott made a bold decision: to forgive—not for his father, but for himself.

Over 12+ years of therapy and soul-searching, Scott unpacked what forgiveness really means—and what it’s not. This episode will challenge you, inspire you, and possibly give you the keys to your own healing.

💡 What You'll Learn

• How Scott broke free from a cycle of generational abuse
• The role therapy and faith played in his healing
• What forgiveness actually is—and common myths we all believe
• The 6 reasons people stay stuck in anger
• Why forgiveness is a process, not a single decision
• How to reclaim your future by letting go of the past
