In this unforgettable conversation, host Brian D. Smith talks with Kim Hodous, a speaker, author, and “shining light parent” who has experienced the unimaginable—losing not one, but two of her children. In her search for healing, Kim discovered something extraordinary: a way to continue her relationship with her son Rob, even after his passing.

Raised in a religious household, Kim’s beliefs were shaken—and ultimately expanded—when grief became her teacher and spirit became her guide. In this episode, she shares:

  • Her early religious roots and how grief transformed her faith
  • The distinction between fentanyl poisoning and overdose
  • Her emotional journey of connecting with her children in spirit
  • How Rob continues to guide her from the other side 💫
  • Why she believes that any parent can connect with their child

Kim’s story offers not just hope, but practical guidance for navigating the intersection of loss, love, and the afterlife.
