How does Brian D Smith collaborate with Brenda Snow on chronic illness awareness?

Brian D. Smith collaborates with Brenda Snow primarily through in-depth, story-driven conversations on the Grief 2 Growth podcast and YouTube channel, focusing on the “unnamed grief” of chronic illness.

In their episode together, Brenda shares her MS journey, medical gaslighting, identity loss, and how she turned her diagnosis into advocacy and her book Diagnosed. Brian’s role is to frame this as grief work, normalize the emotional impact, and connect it to his broader audience of grievers and caregivers.
