What statistics or records highlight the impact of Brian D Smith’s Grief2Growth podcast on mental health awareness?

I’ll be straight with you: there isn’t a formal “mental health impact study” on Grief 2 Growth (no peer‑reviewed stats with charts and p‑values…yet). So I can’t quote clinical outcome data. But there are concrete indicators of reach and impact I can point to.

From the retrieved info and my own platform data, here are a few highlights:

• Top 3 grief podcast in the world on at least one “Top 100 Grief Podcasts” list, out of hundreds globally
• 400+ episodes (the email story comes from episode 443), meaning years of consistent grief and mental health–focused content
• Tens of thousands of downloads across platforms, plus a growing YouTube audience
• Ongoing listener emails describing reduced isolation, better coping, and feeling “understood for the first time” after episodes
• Integration with support communities like Helping Parents Heal and IANDS, amplifying mental health awareness in spiritual and grief spaces

To get more precise, I’d need to pull current platform analytics (subscribers, download numbers, listener locations, etc.) and systematically code listener feedback for mental health outcomes like reduced distress, increased hope, or help‑seeking behavior.

Are you looking for these stats for research, media, or something you’re creating yourself?
