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 & reincarnation
  • The life-changing message Peter received after his brother’s death 💔
  • Behind the scenes of the making of Every Soul Knows
  • How to apply spiritual truths to everyday challenges 🙏
  • Why YOU came here—and what your soul already knows ✨

🎧 Don’t miss: A moving clip from the film featuring Dr. Eben Alexander’s powerful near-death experience and a message from beyond the veil.
