Empowerography

Brad Walsh

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.

    Brad's Corner Episode #5: The Women Who Raised Me

    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 80p0+ 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 5 of Brad's Corner, I share the most personal story I've ever told, the story of the two women who saved me, shaped me, and taught me what real strength looks like long before I ever picked up a microphone. My mom. My Nana. When I was 10 years old, my mom made the hardest decision of her life. She left my biological father after 15 years of marriage, after he had an affair. She packed up what little we could carry, just the clothes on our backs and moved us into a one-bedroom apartment across the street. She slept on the couch every single night. My brother and I shared a bedroom with bunk beds. And she didn't complain. She just did what needed to be done. She got a job as a part-time cashier at a grocery store after not working for 10 years. She raised two boys on that salary. She didn't just survive, she rebuilt. She modeled what true courage looks like. Not the loud, performative kind, but the quiet, relentless kind that gets you through the darkest days. My Nana didn't have to step in. She'd already raised her own kids. She'd earned her rest. But when my mom needed her, she showed up without hesitation, without complaint. She watched us while my mom worked. She held space for her daughter while her daughter rebuilt her life. That is what true love looks like, not grand gestures, but steady, consistent, unwavering presence. This episode explores: The courage my mom showed (leaving, starting over, sleeping on a couch for years)The love my Nana gave (showing up without being asked, holding space, raising us alongside my mom)What they taught me about strength (it's not about never struggling—it's about getting up every day anyway)The permission they gave me to be human (at home, I could cry, feel, talk—I was allowed to be myself)The two worlds I lived in (at home = human, everywhere else = performing masculinity)Why I started Empowerography (to honor women like my mom and Nana who never had platforms) Key Insights:Real courage isn't loud, it's the quiet, relentless kind that gets you through the darkest daysTrue love isn't grand gestures, it's showing up even when it's hard, inconvenient, and you get nothing in returnStrength isn't about never struggling, it's about doing what needs to be done even when you don't feel like itEmpowerography exists to honor women like my mom and Nana who carried invisible labor and quiet strength that no one ever acknowledged Key Message:Honor the women who raised you, not just with words, but with actions. My mom and my Nana didn't just raise me. They taught me what strength actually looks like. Everything I do, this podcast, the work as a photographer, this mission, this platform, it's all because of them. They are my heart. They are the foundation for the entire Empowerography vision. If you were raised by women who fought for you, who sacrificed for you, who loved you unconditionally, honor them. Show up. Be present. Be honest. Above all else, be human. That is how we honor the women who raised us.

    The Power of Inner Authority: Sonia Luckey on Reclaiming Feminine Sovereignty

    My guest today is Sonia Luckey. Sonia is a board-certified nurse practitioner specializing in integrative mental health and spiritual psychology, and the creator of ASCEND™, an 8-week soul-led experience guiding high-achieving women from burnout to embodied sovereignty. With dual certifications in psychiatry and family practice, a Doctor of Nursing Practice, and a Master’s in Spiritual Psychology, her work bridges the nervous system with the soul—blending somatic healing, neuroscience, and spiritual integration to restore clarity, connection, and conscious leadership.. In this episode we discuss integrative mental health, spiritual psychology, the ascend program, shamanism and high achieving women. Website - https://www.sonialuckey.com/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/sonialuckey/ FB - https://www.facebook.com/sonia.gordon1 YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEWsXnbSGLv77yU-lt0Jcyg LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonia-luckey-dnp-285b019/ Sonia's Book - https://www.amazon.com/Seventh-Gate-Novel-Awakening-Awakener/dp/B0GXBH48GL/ In this episode you will learn: 1 Why healing doesn't start with the body—it starts with spirit—Sonia discovered through working with immigrant patients and indigenous medicine that illness begins in your spirit, emotions, and how you see the world, which is why Western medicine alone can never fully heal you without addressing what's happening in the unseen realms first. 2 How to bridge Western medicine with indigenous healing without choosing sides—Sonia negotiated with a diabetic patient whose blood sugar was 800 to stay in the clinic for IV treatment while honoring his desire to go into the desert with his medicine man, proving that healing happens when you integrate both worlds rather than forcing people to abandon their beliefs. 3 What it means to become the "crazy cat lady" of holistic medicine in a traditional system—By publishing papers, training healthcare companies, and openly practicing mindfulness and indigenous medicine before it was mainstream, Sonia created space for patients to heal their way while meeting all medical guidelines, teaching us that you can be different AND effective. “The medical world, the traditional system really showed me, I think, how people try to heal themselves. " - 00:05:15 “That picture that we paint, the illusion that we build, that's really the illusion is that competence equals alignment." - 00:26:08 "I think remembering who you are is the process of letting go what you're not.” - 00:56:38 Empowerography Live Conference 2026 | April 24th - 26th | Toronto, Ontario The Empowerography Live Conference 2026 is more than an event, it’s a 2.5-day in-person experience designed to help women reconnect to their voice, their power, and their next chapter.

    You're Not Broken, You're Responding: Vanessa Cardenas on Betrayal, Recovery, and Finding Yourself Again

    My guest today is Vanessa Cardenas. Vanessa Cardenas is a Betrayal Recovery Specialist, author, and transformational speaker dedicated to helping individuals heal, rebuild, and thrive after experiencing profound betrayal. Drawing from her own life-altering journey and over 20 years as a C-Suite executive, Vanessa has guided countless clients toward emotional freedom, self-worth, and purposeful living. Certified through the Post-Betrayal Transformation Institute with specialized training in trauma coaching, mental fitness, and life transformation, Vanessa’s coaching approach is both compassionate and action-oriented. Her lived experience and professional expertise allow her to create a safe, supportive space where clients can reclaim their identity, rebuild trust, and embrace a future defined by resilience and empowerment. In this episode we discuss betrayal, relationship reset, emotional connection, self-trust and partnership dynamics.

We had been married for two decades and played hooky and went through Central Park together on a beautiful spring day. " - 00:04:18 “A lot of people who have been betrayed, who have been cheated on, will want to scream it from the mountaintops." - 00:41:12 "No two relationships are the same. Again, as we talked about betrayals on a spectrum, what might be okay for one couple is absolutely not okay for another couple.” - 01:10:40 Empowerography Live Conference 2026 | April 24th - 26th | Toronto, Ontario The Empowerography Live Conference 2026 is more than an event, it’s a 2.5-day in-person experience designed to help women reconnect to their voice, their power, and their next chapter.

    The Radical Responsibility Blueprint: Owning Pain, Healing Trauma, and Embracing True Worth with Kristen Brown

    My guest today is Kristen Brown. Kristen Brown is a personal growth and self-healing author, mentor and speaker dedicated to helping individuals reclaim their true worth and inner power. She is the international #1 best-selling author of The Recovering People Pleaser and the host of the Empower Hour with KB podcast, where she shares lived wisdom, practical tools, and empowering perception shifts designed to awaken and guide individuals on their self-healing journey. In this episode we discuss radical responsibility, self-inquiry, people pleasing and self-love. Website - https://www.kristenbrown.org IG - https://www.instagram.com/self_love_junkie FB - https://www.facebook.com/KristenBrownCoaching/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@KristenBrown In this episode you will learn: 1 Why the catalyst question "Why don't you treat yourself that way?" changed everything-After her husband abandoned her and three children, leaving her broke and homeless, Kristen's meditation practice opened her to Spirit asking a series of questions that revealed she was the common denominator, not because she was broken, but because she wasn't treating herself like her own best friend. 2 How radical responsibility without self-blame creates transformation-Kristen learned to own her patterns (staying too long, not setting boundaries, choosing unavailable partners) while giving herself grace and compassion, recognizing she did the best she could with the evolution, knowledge, and fears she had at the time. 3 Why cleaning up your inner world changes your outer reality—When you truly learn to love yourself and put the focus back on you in the truest essence of self-love, you won't see fireworks and marching bands, but you'll witness subtle shifts as your changed energy attracts new experiences that reflect your inner transformation back to you. “One day I was sitting in my room at the edge of my bed, just waiting to go pick up my daughter from school and the idea that I was the common denominator came into my head. " - 00:06:24 “Self-abandonment creates resentment, It creates overwhelm, it can create anxiety." - 00:38:21 "I feel like love is rooted in the highest essence and energy of what we are made of.” - 00:58:02 Empowerography Live Conference 2026 | April 24th - 26th | Toronto, Ontario The Empowerography Live Conference 2026 is more than an event, it’s a 2.5-day in-person experience designed to help women reconnect to their voice, their power, and their next chapter.

    Reclaiming Sovereignty: Jill Nixon’s Guide to True Prosperity Beyond Money and External Validation

    My guest today is Jill Nixon. Hi I’m Jill Alanna, I’m a Shamanic Prosperity Mentor ~ in short I help people access their power, potentials and purpose through integrating their shadow. I am the founder of JAI Breathwork & JAI Soul Activations ~ certified in over 14 modalities, including Quantum Energy Healing, Intuition, Shamanism, Clinical Hypnosis & many more I was guided to create my own modalities bridging the gap between the clinical healing world and the spiritual world. In this episode we discuss shamanic prosperity, breathwork, quantum energy healing, soul path and the divine feminine. Website - https://www.jillalannainternational.com/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/jillalannanixon Jill's Podcast - https://open.spotify.com/show/1KpL5jhE51zA4igp0prveb?si=7ddfc39f78dd42ce YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@jillalannainternational In this episode you will learn: 1 Why following your soul's path is the highest form of prosperity; Jill left corporate after one month, pursued acting, then energy healing, and now experiences daily miracles and "holy provision" because she refuses to do anything just for money and trusts that when she follows her soul, source has her back. 2 How your unique soul gifts are lying dormant under your deepest traumas, the more you alchemize trauma through shadow work and breathwork, the more your superpowers activate, because source doesn't want your gifts activated without the wisdom that comes from healing what hurt you. 3 Why challenges and initiations before breakthroughs are signs you're ON path, not off, when you're about to do something impactful, you'll be tested (Wi-Fi fails, money disappears, obstacles appear), and leaders who give up right before the biggest breakthrough miss the gold that's just one foot away. “The highest path of prosperity is our soul path and prosperity all encompassing. Like people are like, you're so lucky. I have so many miracles. " - 00:07:05 “I think we're waking up into true prosperity, true abundance, community, win-win, that there's more than enough to play around, that the highest timeline is what our soul is calling us to do." - 00:39:13 "Stop looking externally for all the answers. Come back to yourself. Trust your wisdom. Trust where your soul is guiding you.” - 01:31:12 Empowerography Live Conference 2026 | April 24th - 26th | Toronto, Ontario The Empowerography Live Conference 2026 is more than an event, it’s a 2.5-day in-person experience designed to help women reconnect to their voice, their power, and their next chapter.

    Building a Woman‑Led Media Empire: Inside G Woman Media’s Vision and Impact with Frankie Picasso

    My guest today is Frankie Picasso. Frankie Picasso is a Canadian SocialPreneur, Talk Show Host, and Champion for Change who has been transforming lives and influencing culture for over 30 years. She is a 2024 recipient of the WEF ,’Woman of the Decade Award’. Professionally, she is a Certified Life, Business and Master Coach Trainer, Author, Artist, Activist and Radio/TV Host, who just happens to specialize in the Impossible! Frankie is the former Executive Director of Girl Power USA, Chair of the Board for Rural to Action and NGO in Kenya, Founder of the The Good Radiio Network & Co-founder and VP of G-Woman Media. In this episode we discuss the G-Woman Network, radio, media, transformation, women's leadership, the rubber band technique and women owned business. Website - https://www.gwomanmedia.com/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/unstoppablefrankiepicasso/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/unstoppablecoachpicasso/ Frankie's Books - https://www.amazon.ca/stores/Frankie-Picasso/author/B006Z7X7BQ? YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@GWomanMedia In this episode you will learn: 1 Why going back to your childhood dreams matters in midlife, when you're asking "what's next?", the things you wanted to be as a kid are often the unfulfilled soul desires waiting to be brought to life, and Frankie proves this by fulfilling her childhood dreams of being an author, radio host, and so much more later in life. 2 The gift of writing your parent's autobiography before they pass, Frankie gave her 90-year-old dad the incredible gift of documenting his life story, and hearing him chuckle while reading it saying "I can't believe this was my life" was worth everything, especially from a man who only looked forward and never back. 3 Why real coaching is about bubbling up answers from within, not giving advice, certified coaching means asking powerful questions that help clients discover their own truth, not consulting or promising six-figure results, and the coaching industry desperately needs people to understand the difference and demand proper credentials. “I have been transforming from a very young age. I like change. I don't like to stagnate. " - 00:02:27 “Shakespeare said, all the world's a stage and I say, if you didn't get the right part, change it." - 00:46:34 "Women diminish themselves all the time to fit in.” - 01:15:41 Empowerography Live Conference 2026 | April 24th - 26th | Toronto, Ontario The Empowerography Live Conference 2026 is more than an event, it’s a 2.5-day in-person experience designed to help women reconnect to their voice, their power, and their next chapter.

In this episode you will learn: 1 Why choosing to love again and again is the most powerful transformation, even after devastating loss (losing her mother at 21, divorce, her ex-husband's suicide), Kim chose love over bitterness, and that choice changed everything about how she shows up in the world. 2 How to trust your instincts and make choices with intention, instead of getting placed into roles or repeating patterns unconsciously, Kim learned to integrate what she knew intellectually into her body, making choices that honored herself first rather than obligation. 3 The power of energy work and connecting mind, body, and spirit, while therapy helped, it was energy healing that shifted something fundamental inside her, opening her eyes to transformation beyond just intellectual understanding and connecting her to the spiritual side she needed to heal. “I was fascinated by psychology and communication and that's where I spent my academic years pursuing. " - 00:03:55 “I came up with the concept of the golden thread spiral and in order for people to change, I believe they need to be aware, accept, accountable, aligned actions, and acknowledge." - 00:25:01 "I do think things like the all women mastermind is an important one and things like I have taught men in my courses before and I prefer teaching women.” - 00:53:27 Empowerography Live Conference 2026 | April 24th - 26th | Toronto, Ontario The Empowerography Live Conference 2026 is more than an event, it’s a 2.5-day in-person experience designed to help women reconnect to their voice, their power, and their next chapter.

  8. Brad's Corner Episode #4: The Strongest Thing A Man Can Do

    APR 1

    Brad's Corner Episode #4: The Strongest Thing A Man Can Do

    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 750+ 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 4 of Brad's Corner, I get real about what true strength actually looks like and spoiler alert: it's nothing like what we were taught. For 30 years, I thought strength meant dominance. Having all the answers. Never showing weakness. Being the guy who could handle anything without ever needing anyone. That's what the world taught me: Be strong. Be in control. Don't cry. Don't ask for help. Don't let anyone see you struggle. So I performed strength while falling apart inside. I suppressed emotions because showing them felt like failure. I isolated myself because needing people felt like weakness and you know what that got me? Exhaustion. Disconnection. A life where I was respected but never really known. Everything changed when I started listening to women. 750+ conversations later, I learned something that shattered everything I thought I knew: The strongest women I've interviewed aren't the ones who never struggle, they're the ones who are honest about their struggles. They're not the ones who have it all figured out, they're the ones who admit when they don't. They're not the ones who never need anyone, they're the ones who ask for help and build communities, and I realized: if that's true for them, why wouldn't it be true for me? This episode explores: The performance trap (how pretending to be strong actually made me weaker)What 750+ women taught me (real strength is built in connection, not isolation)The lie that's killing men (why traditional masculinity is costing us our lives)My own unlearning (how I'm still catching myself defaulting to the performance)What my daughters, wife, and podcast guests actually need from me (not invulnerability, but humanity) Brad's Corner, a place where I work through this stuff out loud, share what I'm learning, and get honest about where I'm still struggling. If you're tired of performing, this one's for you. 💡 Key Insights: The strongest thing a man can do isn't suppress his emotions—it's feel themThe strongest thing a man can do isn't have all the answers, it's admit when he doesn'tThe strongest thing a man can do isn't carry everything alone, it's ask for helpThe strongest thing a man can do isn't dominate, it's partnerThe strongest thing a man can do isn't perform invulnerability, it's show up as fully humanMen who strongly adhere to traditional masculine norms are 2.4 times more likely to die by suicideReal strength is built in connection, not isolation Key Message: Being human is the strongest thing you can be. You don't have to have it all together. You're allowed to struggle. You're allowed to ask for help. You're allowed to feel your emotions instead of burying them. Doing those things doesn't make you weak, it makes you strong. It makes you human. And being human? That's the strongest thing you can be. Not performing strength, but being strong enough to be vulnerable.

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.
