Welcome to Empowerography, the premier podcast platform dedicated to bringing powerful women to an empowered stage. Host, Brad Walsh, having spent his corporate career in the world of A/V technology, felt that there was a greater story waiting. Brad was introduced to the world of Boudoir Photography and he immediately fell in love with the empowering mission and message behind boudoir photography. Being immersed in this world and seeing the life-changing effects it had on women helped to reveal his true calling—creating space for women to see themselves in a light they normally don't get to see themselves in. Brad realized this work was his life's purpose, so he left my AV tech career to pursue boudoir photography full-time. Witnessing the incredible transformations in his clients confirmed he had found his purpose. Two years later, while working as a women's empowerment photographer, Brad had another epiphany: I need to broaden my impact by creating a podcast. When Covid-19 hit in March 2020 rendering Brads business in-operable, he saw an opportunity to be a voice of hope and positivity amidst global fear and negativity and Empowerography was born. Brad's podcast is a platform whose purpose is to Empower. Elevate and Educate by amplifying the voices of women. Empowerography's mission is to Empower, Elevate, and Educate, showcasing real-life stories of courage, transformation, and inspiration from extraordinary women around the world. Each episode dives deep into the personal and professional journeys of our guests, uncovering the trials they've overcome, the successes they've achieved, and the invaluable lessons they've learned along the way. Join us as we amplify the voices of women, providing a space where their stories can inspire, motivate, and empower listeners to pursue their own dreams and aspirations. Whether you're looking for inspiration, guidance, or simply a boost of empowerment, Empowerography is here to elevate your spirit and educate your mind. Tune in and let the transformative stories of these incredible women change your perspective and ignite your passion for making a difference.

    The Mirror Method Explained: Instantly Reprogram Judgement and Rewire Your Brain with Elisabeth Carson

    My guest today is Elisabeth Carson. Elisabeth Carson is a global speaker, entrepreneur, and founder of Enhanced Flow, a movement helping people rebuild their lives from the inside out by aligning mind, body, and soul. Her work bridges neuroscience, trauma healing, emotional mastery, and biohacking, uniting science and spirituality through lived experience and personal transformation.. In this episode we discuss healing, the mirror method, neurofeedback, biohacking, consciousness and purpose. Website - https://www.elisabethunlimited.com/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@ElisabethUnlimited FB - https://www.facebook.com/elisabethhoekstra0214 IG - https://www.instagram.com/elisabeth_unlimited LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/elisabethunlimited/ In this episode you will learn: 1. Why losing everything twice in one lifetime taught Elisabeth that life happens FOR you, not TO you—From a teenage drug binge that left her brain inflamed, to jail, to walking her newborn's father into prison, to having her company and reputation publicly dismantled not once but twice as an adult, Elisabeth has rebuilt from rock bottom more times than most people face in a lifetime. Each collapse became fuel rather than the end of her story.   2. Why addiction doesn't look like what you think it looks like—and the brutally honest truth about being a high-functioning party girl while still being completely addicted—Elisabeth was modeling, acting, and partying with celebrities, never the person living on the street, but she's clear that doesn't mean she wasn't an addict. If you need a substance to feel a certain way because you can't create that feeling naturally, that is an addiction, whether it's alcohol, scrolling, shopping, food, or a relationship.   3. What the Mirror Method is and how a simple four-step process can rewire judgment, trauma patterns and old wounds in real time, in seconds, as you move through your day—Elisabeth's self-developed framework walks through realizing a judgment in the moment, finding its root through a body scan, reprogramming the wounded part of yourself underneath it, and then taking an action step that seals the new pattern into reality before the brain reverts to old programming. “For the first time, when I was 19 years old, I experienced neural feedback and that was after a very long drug binge." - 00:02:43 “Sovereignty for me, it really means freedom within my own world to create and pay attention to and have in my energetic sphere exactly what I want." - 00:40:20 "What if that painful thing that you've been running from your whole life, what if your purpose was inside of that pain?” - 01:20:53 Your voice matters!

  2. Brad's Corner Episode 7: The Men We Forget About

    Brad's Corner Episode 7: The Men We Forget About

    Brad Walsh is an International Speaker, Soul Visibility Guide, podcast host/producer, photographer, and #1 International Best-Selling Author who helps women step into their power and men become compassionate leaders. Through Empowerography, a Top 1.5% Globally Rated Podcast, he has held space for 800+ conversations with extraordinary women, creating a movement to EMPOWER, ELEVATE, and EDUCATE voices around the world. I would like to personally welcome you to Brad's Corner, a new series under the Empowerography Podcast umbrella, a space where I share raw reflections, personal insights, and the lessons I've gathered from the incredible women I've had the honor of interviewing. In Episode 7 of Brad's Corner, in honor of Men's Mental Health Month, I step away from amplifying women's voices for a moment to talk about something that has been sitting on my chest for weeks. A close friend of mine opened up to someone he was trying to build something with—and she ran the other way. That moment cracked something open in me. Because his story isn't rare. It's the story of millions of men who are told to be strong providers and vulnerable partners at the same time, and then punished the moment they actually try to be both. This episode is about the silence that is killing our men, the numbers behind that silence, and what happened when I posted about it publicly and almost no men responded at all. This episode explores: •     Why a friend's heartbreak after opening up emotionally exposed a painful double standard men are facing today   •     What happened at the Empowerography Live men's panel that completely shifted the energy of the entire conference   •     The real numbers behind men's mental health suicide rates, treatment rates, and the number one reason men give for not seeking help   •     Why men's pain rarely looks like sadness and what it actually looks like instead (irritability, anger, withdrawal, overworking)   •     What happened when I posted about this publicly and the deafening silence from men that proved the entire point   •     Why this work has to start with our boys, long before the world teaches them otherwise   •     Why supporting men doesn't compete with amplifying women, it walks right alongside it Key Insights: •     Men are told to be the strong provider and the vulnerable partner at the same time and then punished the moment they choose vulnerability   •     Men die by suicide at nearly four times the rate of women, and less than half of men struggling with mental illness seek any treatment at all   •     We have raised generations of men to believe silence and stoicism is strength and that belief is literally killing us   •     Vulnerability is not the opposite of strength. It is strength   Key Message: To every man listening: you are not weak for struggling. You are not broken for feeling things. No human is broken—we just need help, support, and guidance. You are human, and that's all this is. To everyone else: please check on your men. Not the surface level “hey, how are you,” but the real question, the one where you actually wait to hear the answer. Supporting men doesn't take away from amplifying women. It walks right alongside it. We cannot do this alone, not as all the women and not as all the men. We are meant to do this together, as human beings, for our men, for our boys, and for all of humanity. "That silence is costing us men everything" - 00:03:43 “Vulnerability is not the opposite of strength. It is strength” - 00:11:56 "To every man listening to this episode right now, I want you to know you are not weak for struggling" - 00:12:30 Contact Brad: Website Instagram LinkedIn YouTube X (Twitter) TikTok Substack #Empowerography #BradsCorner #MensMentalHealthMonth #MenWeForgetAbout #VulnerabilityIsStrength #RaiseBetterBoys #MentalHealthMatters #StrongMenStruggleToo #TogetherNotAlone #AllyshipInAction #BreakTheSilence #AskForHelp #SilenceIsKillingUs #MasculinityRedefined

    Burn the System to the Ground: Julie D'Ann on Reimagining Education From the Foundation Up

    My guest today is Julie D'Ann. As an Illumination Guide, Transformational Life Coach, Inspirational TEDx Speaker, and International Bestselling Author, Julie is passionate about inspiring others to connect within to achieve calm confidence despite any chaos happening in the world. Getting meditation taught in schools and bringing life-changing practices into homes and classrooms is Julie's mission. In this episode we discuss breath work, mindfulness, meditation, gratitude, parenting and our children. Website - https://juliedannauthor.com/ TEDx Talk - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFYTAKtbzh4 YouTube - https://youtube.com/@illuminateyourlife6086 FB - https://www.facebook.com/julie.d.ann.2025/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/julie_dann_/ Amazon Page - https://www.amazon.com/stores/Julie-DAnn/author/B0C1LK5CGK? In this episode you will learn: 1. Why a classroom evacuation became the spark for a movement and how something as simple as breathing could rewire the way an entire generation handles big emotions—When Julie's daughter came home and said her class had been evacuated because a child couldn't regulate their emotions, it broke Julie's heart wide open. She realized that child didn't need to be isolated, they needed someone to breathe with them. One simple tool, available to every single child, could have changed the entire outcome.   2. Why the entire education system needs to be burned to the ground and rebuilt from the foundation up and what it would actually look like if children were taught through joy, storytelling and co-creation instead of compliance—Julie and Brad don't hold back on this one. The current system was built to create obedient workers, not thriving humans. A reimagined education would honor silence and stimulation equally, treat every child as intrinsically valuable from day one, and replace rigid, forced curriculums with curiosity, storytelling and real human connection.   3. What illumination really means and the three simple daily practices that build calm, confident kids and calm, confident parents—Julie believes we are all light beings covered by layers of conditioning, and illumination is simply removing what is shading that light. She shares her three foundational practices—deep breathing, gratitude journaling, and consciously choosing better thoughts—that any parent can start using today to shift the entire emotional climate of their home. “Anybody can connect through their breath, anybody can learn how to calm the body." - 00:03:43 “I think, at the foundation of education is you have to understand it's all two sides of the same coin." - 00:27:49 "We are all connected and we are here, not just to survive, we are here to thrive, to live better lives.” - 00:54:20 Your voice matters!

  4. The Power of Permission: Dana Diaz on Why Women Must Give Themselves Permission to Speak, Heal, and Thrive

    Jun 19

    The Power of Permission: Dana Diaz on Why Women Must Give Themselves Permission to Speak, Heal, and Thrive

    My guest today is Dana Diaz. Dana S. Diaz is a bes-tselling , award-winning author and global speaker and podcaster. Her memoir trilogy, GASPING FOR AIR, CHOKING ON SHAME, and RISING FROM THE ASHES, was inspired by her lifelong experience with abuse and domestic violence and the healing journey she was led on as a result. Dana has been featured on nearly 300 podcasts worldwide, holding the rank of #1 Most Popular Podcast Guest worldwide in 2024, according to Podmatch.com. You may have also seen her on NBC Chicago and on the main stage of the Ultimate Women's Expo in Chicago. Her emotional intelligence and relatability resonates deeply with attendees of women’s empowerment and wellness conferences, as well as participants in the healing workshop for women she co-leads. In this episode we discuss narcissistic abuse, generational trauma, trauma bonding, shame, forgiveness and self-awareness. Website - https://danasdiaz.com LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/dana-s-diaz-208927298/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA3d2zZqyIkzwaIPfztOhlw FB - https://www.facebook.com/danasdiazauthor IG - https://www.instagram.com/danas.diaz In this episode you will learn: 1. How 40 years of chronic stress and an abusive marriage attacked Dana's body until doctors discovered her own white blood cells were destroying themselves — After years of unexplained symptoms, blackouts, and a rare lung condition, doctors finally named it: decades of fight-or-flight cortisol. The moment her abusive husband moved out, every symptom vanished instantly. A switch flipped.   2. Why healing requires brutal accountability, not for the abuse, but for the choice to stay and why that distinction is the most uncomfortable truth Dana teaches — Nobody is ever to blame for how they're treated. But Dana is clear she had the power to leave at any point in her 25-year marriage. Recognizing that choice wasn't self-blame — it was the discovery of her own power.   3. What shame actually steals from women and the "bag of potatoes" metaphor Dana uses to teach people how to stop carrying other people's trauma — Shame is someone else's unhealed trauma dressed up as your fault. Dana pictures everyone's shame as heavy bags of potatoes she was never meant to carry. The moment she set them down, she stopped sabotaging her own future. “Who was Dana? Dana, I'm not sure she even knew who she was. Dana, to give the short version of the long story, Dana was born to an unwed teenage mother back when it wasn't okay to be born to an unwed teenage mother." - 00:02:22 “The part of healing that's scary is taking accountability, I think. I always say the first step in healing is self-awareness." - 00:29:02 "Shame steals your freedom.” - 01:16:18 Your voice matters!

  5. Self-Sacrifice Is Not Selfless: Ana Pashyanti on Boundaries, Healing and Surviving the Unthinkable

    Self-Sacrifice Is Not Selfless: Ana Pashyanti on Boundaries, Healing and Surviving the Unthinkable

    My guest today is Ana Pashyanti. Ana Pashyanti shares meditation and energy healing practices to empower others to heal and dissolve what stands in the way of their true inner peace and joy. So now she guides others on their paths of healing and awakening into that limitless horizon of possibility we call the human potential. In this episode we discuss awakening, meditation, energy healing, boundaries and trauma recovery. Website - https://www.anapashyanti.com/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ana-pashyanti/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@AnaPashyanti In this episode you will learn: 1. Why everything in your life has to collapse before you can truly discover who you are and why hitting ground zero is not the end of your story but the sacred beginning of it — Ana spent decades ignoring her inner voice and giving her power away until she had nothing left, no home, no plan, no direction. It was only sitting at her parents' kitchen table with nowhere to go that she asked herself for the very first time: what do I actually want? That one question and the answer that came back immediately, changed her entire life forever.   2. Why not having boundaries isn't kindness — it's self-destruction and what happens when you spend a lifetime believing that saying yes to everyone else is what makes you a good person — Ana believed that a truly good person would choose self-sacrifice every time. That belief cost her everything. It led her into a situation where she was brainwashed, held against her will, and locked in an apartment by an abusive partner who threatened her family when she tried to leave. The most devastating truth she had to face afterward was that her self-sacrifice hadn't helped anyone. It had enabled them. And it had almost killed her.   3. How to stop blocking your own healing — the difference between repressing your emotions and actually feeling them and the practice that begins to dissolve everything stored in your body that has been weighing you down for years — Ana teaches that the biggest lie we tell ourselves is that we are broken and need to be fixed. We are not broken. We are diamonds with density dimming our light. The path is to consciously go into the darkness, welcome it, and allow it to transmute. Emotions that are not felt get stored in the body as disease. Emotions that are felt and allowed to move through you become energy you can use to build an entirely new life. “I finally, for the first time in my life, sitting at that kitchen table, staring into the bleak nothingness of that dreary February day, I finally, for the first time, asked myself, what do I really want?" - 00:04:44 “A lot of us come into this life, if you ask me, even before coming to this life, we come in here thinking that we have to suffer in order to learn." - 00:21:18 "You are not only connected to source, you are a source.” - 00:40:35 Your voice matters!

  6. Joy is Medicine: Lynn Reckamp on What Happens When You Bring Magic Into a Children's Hospital

    Jun 12

    Joy is Medicine: Lynn Reckamp on What Happens When You Bring Magic Into a Children's Hospital

    My guest today is Lynn Reckamp. Lynn Reckamp is the Executive Director of Holiday Heroes, where she channels her passion into bringing joy and comfort to pediatric patients—work that truly lights her up. A proud mom of four amazing young adults, Lynn thrives on adventure, whether it’s hopping on a plane to somewhere new, strolling through a farmers market, or soaking up the sun near the water.. In this episode we discuss holiday heroes, social impact, joy, laughter as medicine and kindness. Website - https://www.holiday-heroes.org/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/holidayheroesfoundation/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/holidayheroesfoundation/ In this episode you will learn: 1. Why joy is not just a feeling but a healing force and the science-backed proof that spreading joy to sick children literally changes their vital signs—At a Holiday Heroes hospital party, a nurse pulled Lynn aside during a bedside visit and showed her something extraordinary on the heart monitor of a nonverbal, critically ill child. When Cinderella began singing, the little girl’s dangerously elevated heart rate dropped—and by the end of the first song it had returned to exactly where it was supposed to be. Lynn had to walk away because she was so overwhelmed. You cannot argue with a heart monitor. Joy heals.   2. What it means to lead when your currency is not profit but presence and how the most powerful thing you can offer another human being costs absolutely nothing—Lynn walks into rooms where parents have been sitting bedside for weeks, terrified and exhausted, and her team’s entire mission is simply to bring a moment of joy. No invoice. No pitch. No agenda. Just presence. A dad standing six foot six breaks down in tears watching his bald daughter dance with a costume character. A grandmother chases Cinderella down a hospital hallway to say “you gave us a smile and a memory we will never forget.” That is what leadership without ego looks like.   3. The one truth that changes how you see every stranger you pass on the street and why empathy is not optional but the most important practice we can build into our everyday lives—Lynn has watched parents walk out of hospital oncology units and disappear into the busy streets of Chicago, and no one around them has any idea what they just left behind. She says the most important thing this work has taught her is that you never truly know what someone else is going through. The person who cuts you off in traffic, the stranger who seems cold or rude—they could be carrying something unimaginable. So be kind. Give the compliment. Smile. Pay for the order. It costs you nothing and it could change everything. “Holiday Heroes is a non-for-profit and our mission is so sweet and simple. We spread joy to pediatric patients and we do this by going into these hospitals and we throw parties for the kids." - 00:02:54 “I think that even little, we bring joy to these kids and even if it's just 10 minutes of joy, I think what joy means is it gives you a break from stuff that's not joyful and not happy and the bad stuff, the sickness, the illness." - 00:22:53 "I just think in general, people are good.  Even people, everyone has bad days, but in general, people are just good.” - 00:39:15 Your voice matters!

  7. Respectfully Selfish: Nancy Griffin's Radical Permission Slip for Women Who Give Too Much

    Jun 8

    Respectfully Selfish: Nancy Griffin's Radical Permission Slip for Women Who Give Too Much

    My guest today is Nancy Lynne Griffin. Nancy is a connector and influencer. She attributes her success to personal courage, determination, and joy, when focusing on women’s health and wellness, hence creating Women,Worth & Wellness®. Nancy enjoys every opportunity to inspire and inform women about their personal health and wealth, net worth and self-worth, philanthropy and legacy—so that women feel fabulous, generous, joyful, confident, and on top of their game every day. Nancy Griffin established Women, Worth & Wellness in 1994 as a Private Client Wealth Advisor for her female clients and their families. In this episode we discuss women worth and wealth, health as a priority, menopause, being respectfully selfish. Website - https://womenworthwellness.com/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/womenworthandwellness/ FB - https://www.facebook.com/womenworthandwellness YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCODT3IoUJsg0HEDx1zMQRHA LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/womenworthandwellness/ In this episode you will learn: 1. Why your health is your number one asset and how owning it completely transforms not just your body but your confidence, your wealth, and every single relationship in your life—Nancy’s mother told her from a young age that without your health you have nothing, and after over three decades building Women, Worth and Wellness, she knows it to be absolutely true. When women stop putting everyone else first and start treating their own health as a AAA1 priority, something shifts. They show up differently. They glow. And the ripple effect of that single decision touches every corner of their lives, their finances, their families, their freedom.   2. What “respectfully selfish” and “respectfully aggressive” really mean and why reclaiming these words is one of the most powerful acts of self-worth a woman can perform—For too long women have been conditioned to shrink, defer, and put themselves last out of fear of being called selfish or aggressive. Nancy flips both of these words completely on their head. Being selfish means making yourself a priority so you can show up as your best for everyone else. Being aggressive means stepping up, speaking out, and refusing to back down when the world tries to cut you down. When someone called Nancy aggressive, she said thank you and meant it.   3. How the Tall Poppy Syndrome operates in corporate spaces—and the one strategy that defeats it every single time—Born in Australia, the Tall Poppy Syndrome describes what happens when high-achieving women are recruited into organizations and then quietly targeted by those who feel threatened by their presence. The playbook is always the same: make it uncomfortable enough that she leaves on her own. Nancy’s counter-strategy is equally simple and devastatingly effective, don’t give up, don’t back down, don’t disappear. Stay, find a way to get along, and sooner or later the people trying to cut you down will realize they cannot bring you down. “As I started to work with women, you just get this whole aspect that your first priority is your health before you even get to your wealth. " - 00:06:13 “I think willingness to choose herself is wellness." - 00:36:06 "Live your life and love your life.” - 00:56:42 Your voice matters!

  8. Brad's Corner Episode 6: Midlife Clarity; When Women Stop Apologizing For Who They Are

    Brad's Corner Episode 6: Midlife Clarity; When Women Stop Apologizing For Who They Are

    Brad Walsh is an International Speaker, Soul Visibility Guide, podcast host/producer, photographer, and #1 International Best-Selling Author who helps women step into their power and men become compassionate leaders. Through Empowerography, a Top 1.5% Globally Rated Podcast, he has held space for 800+ conversations with extraordinary women, creating a movement to EMPOWER, ELEVATE, and EDUCATE voices around the world. I would like to personally welcome you to Brad's Corner, a new series under the Empowerography Podcast umbrella, a space where I share raw reflections, personal insights, and the lessons I've gathered from the incredible women I've had the honor of interviewing. In Episode 6 of Brad's Corner, I talk about something I've witnessed in conversation after conversation with women in their 50s and older. Something profound. Something that makes everyone around her uncomfortable. Something that's often misunderstood as a midlife crisis when it's actually a midlife clarity. I'm talking about the moment when a woman stops apologizing for who she is. When she stops people-pleasing, stops making everyone else comfortable, stops shrinking herself to fit into expectations that were never hers to begin with. And everybody around her, her partner, her kids, her friends, her colleagues, looks at her and thinks, "What the hell happened to the old version of her?" But here's what they're missing. She didn't disappear. She didn't go anywhere. She's actually just arrived. This episode explores: What midlife clarity really looks like (and why it's not a crisis, it's a remembering)The shift that happens when a woman stops living for everyone else and starts living for herselfWhat this transformation looks like in real life (boundaries, truth-telling, unapologetic living)Why everyone around her freaks out (and what their discomfort is really about)The return to the divine feminine (powerful, creative, intuitive, unapologetic)A message to the men: How to meet her in this transformation instead of resisting itThe four things men need to do to support the women in their lives through this shift (get curious, stop trying to fix her, grow with her, celebrate her) Key Insights: She's not having a crisis, she's having a breakthrough, a remembering of who she was before the world told her who she needed to beThe discomfort others feel isn't about her, it's about them losing the version of her that made them comfortableThis transformation is a return to the divine feminine: powerful, creative, intuitive, and unapologeticIf you're not willing to grow with her, you're going to lose her, not because she's selfish, but because she is finally choosing herselfYour job is not to fix her, manage her, or get her back to "normal", your job is to meet her where she's at with curiosity, growth, patience, and support Key Message: If you're a woman in your 50s going through this shift, you are not selfish. You are not broken. And you are certainly not having a crisis. You are waking up to who you truly are. Your job is not to make them comfortable. Your job is to become who you have always been beneath all those layers of conditioning. If you're a man whose partner, mother, sister, or friend is going through this, stop resisting it. Stop trying to get the old her back. She's not coming back. And that is a good thing because the woman she's becoming is the one who was always there. She's just done apologizing for it. Meet her there with curiosity, growth, patience, and support. If you can do that, you will witness one of the most profound transformations you have ever seen. It's not a midlife crisis. It is a midlife rebirth. And that is an absolutely beautiful gift.

About

Welcome to Empowerography, the premier podcast platform dedicated to bringing powerful women to an empowered stage. Host, Brad Walsh, having spent his corporate career in the world of A/V technology, felt that there was a greater story waiting. Brad was introduced to the world of Boudoir Photography and he immediately fell in love with the empowering mission and message behind boudoir photography. Being immersed in this world and seeing the life-changing effects it had on women helped to reveal his true calling—creating space for women to see themselves in a light they normally don't get to see themselves in. Brad realized this work was his life's purpose, so he left my AV tech career to pursue boudoir photography full-time. Witnessing the incredible transformations in his clients confirmed he had found his purpose. Two years later, while working as a women's empowerment photographer, Brad had another epiphany: I need to broaden my impact by creating a podcast. When Covid-19 hit in March 2020 rendering Brads business in-operable, he saw an opportunity to be a voice of hope and positivity amidst global fear and negativity and Empowerography was born. Brad's podcast is a platform whose purpose is to Empower. Elevate and Educate by amplifying the voices of women. Empowerography's mission is to Empower, Elevate, and Educate, showcasing real-life stories of courage, transformation, and inspiration from extraordinary women around the world. Each episode dives deep into the personal and professional journeys of our guests, uncovering the trials they've overcome, the successes they've achieved, and the invaluable lessons they've learned along the way.
