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.

    Code Girls Redefine Medicine: From COVID Survival to Modern Medicine Cabinet with Wendy Cohn-Osborne and Dr Lisa Piper

    My guests today are Wendy Cohn-Osborne and Dr Lisa Piper. With over 30 years of combined experience in the legal, healthcare, and holistic wellness industries, Dr. Lisa Piper, Ph.D., DNM, and Wendy Cohn-Osborne are the visionary co-founders of CODE Health. Dr. Lisa, a Board-Certified Doctor of Natural Medicine, and Wendy, a seasoned entrepreneur in healthcare solutions and law, bring together a powerful blend of science, strategy, and soul. Their mission is to educate and empower individuals to be intentional with what they put on and, in their bodies, offering revolutionary therapeutics that provide safe, natural alternatives to traditional medications for both people and animals. Through CODE Health, they’re redefining wellness by merging biology, energy, and information medicine to support the body’s innate ability to heal and thrive.. In this episode we discuss frequency medicine, code health and the modern medicine cabinet. Website - https://www.codehealthshop.com IG - https://www.instagram.com/codehealthshop https://www.instagram.com/drlisapiper https://www.instagram.com/wendyicohn In this episode you will learn: 1. Why a drop of saline solution backed by 40 years of molecular research is quietly redefining what a medicine cabinet looks like and why Einstein's prediction about frequency medicine is no longer the future, it's right now — CodeHealth was born from a COVID survival story and a biologist with over 200 patents who had never brought his work to the world at scale. One drop. No dosing by weight. Works for an infant, an adult, and a racehorse equally. This is frequency medicine and it's already here.   2. Why the current healthcare system was never designed for true healing and what it looks like when a workers' compensation attorney and a PhD in natural medicine arrive at the same conclusion from completely different directions — Wendy watched injured workers get processed like numbers through a system that cared more about getting them back to work than actually healing them. Lisa watched cancer patients handed comfort cards filled with carcinogens. Both concluded the same thing: Western medicine treats symptoms, not people. Eastern and Western medicine have to hold hands.   3. What makes a female business partnership actually work the trust, the zones of genius, and why praying for the right partner might be the most underrated business strategy there is — Lisa had been burnt badly by business partners before Wendy. She prayed, made a list of exactly what she needed, and Wendy walked into her hair salon chair and never left. Their framework is simple: whoever feels more strongly wins, if you're upset you hang up and come back, and you never stop having each other's backs. “I got very sick with COVID and my father happened to be the neighbor to this brilliant biologist that created these molecular formulas." - 00:02:29 “What Lisa and I also talk about is the importance of taking small, incremental steps and changes." - 00:28:55 "Everybody wants everything and everybody wants it now. It's this Amazon Prime mentality and your health is not Amazon Prime.” - 01:08:52 Your voice matters!

  2. Healing the Soul First: How One Mother Turned Autism Challenges into Spiritual Empowerment with Jaskirat Kaur

    Healing the Soul First: How One Mother Turned Autism Challenges into Spiritual Empowerment with Jaskirat Kaur

    My guest today is Jaskirat Kaur. Jas is a certified Life Coach from Mindvalley and is a published author of a Punjabi book ‘Roohaniyat’ that offers a spiritual perspective on life, death and everything in between. She is also one of the co-authors of English book ‘Spread your wings’ where her chapter is dedicated to the special needs moms. She is currently working on her third book ‘The mother heals first’ which is a self-healing guide for Autism moms. She recently got an opportunity to speak on stage in an event ‘Soul Mom talks’ in Vancouver and share her story of being an Autism mom. In this episode we discuss autism motherhood, advocacy, spiritual awakening, self-love and soul connection. Website - https://www.pickupsmiles.com IG - https://www.instagram.com/jaskirat_bajwa_dhillon In this episode you will learn: 1. Why a child’s autism diagnosis that felt like an interruption was actually the greatest spiritual awakening of a mother’s life and how choosing the path of growth over victimhood changed absolutely everything—Jaz was checking every box on the conventional life checklist, career, marriage, immigration, new country, new beginning, when her younger son’s diagnosis stopped everything cold. She describes two paths available in that moment: become the victim of your circumstances or ask what life is trying to teach you. Choosing the second path led her out of a decade-long software career, into herself, and eventually into a mission to support autism moms around the world.   2. Why only a healed mother can bring healing to her children and what self-love actually looks like for a mother who is completely depleted, running on no sleep, and has no time left for herself—Jaz is direct about something most caregiving culture never says out loud: the energy you bring to caregiving matters more than the hours you put in. She shares practical, time-free ways autism moms can come back to themselves—from three conscious breaths to dancing while cooking—and makes a case that the greatest gift any mother can give her child is her own healing.   3. Why autistic children are highly advanced souls and the profound spiritual reframe that shifted Jaz from seeing her son as a victim to recognizing him as her greatest teacher—Through the work of Dr. Brian Weiss and her own deepening spiritual practice, Jaz came to understand her son not as someone broken who needed fixing, but as a soul who chose her and who arrived to evolve her spiritually, reconnect her to the present moment, and remind her of who she truly is. She says everything she has become is because of him. “I was born and raised in Northern part of India, Punjab, and I did what every the normal path that you would say you get into a good school, get degrees, and then get a good job, get married on time, have kids." - 00:02:20 “I think motherhood in itself, once a woman gives birth to a child, it's always an initiation." - 00:21:06 "I would say that, yes, motherhood is important. It's the most important role that you're playing right now. But your identity does not end and begin with motherhood.” - 00:57:16 Your voice matters!

  3. The 80 Percent Truth: Most Diseases Are Preventable Through Lifestyle, With Dr Laleh Talebian

    Jul 1

    The 80 Percent Truth: Most Diseases Are Preventable Through Lifestyle, With Dr Laleh Talebian

    My guest today is Dr Laleh Talebian. Dr. Laleh holds a bachelor's degree in Genetics and Food Biochemistry, a Ph.D. in Molecular & Cellular Biology from Dartmouth Medical School, and completed a post-doctoral fellowship on biomarkers for Cystic Fibrosis. She directed a clinical research lab on immunotherapy for blood cancers and served as Research Project Manager at The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy & Clinical Practice. She's completing certification as a Naturopathic Medicine Practitioner. In this episode we discuss cancer, cancer prevention, food as medicine, patient advocacy and the precision empowerment pathway. Website - https://www.dynamicnaturaladvantage.com/ FB - https://www.facebook.com/drlaleh IG -  https://www.instagram.com/dynamicnaturaladvantage/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/drlalehphd/ In this episode you will learn: 1. Why losing her father to cancer at 15 turned a molecular biologist into a research scientist with a mission and why she walked away from the career she devoted her entire life to building—Laleh's father survived a surgery with a 4% chance of survival, only to die a year later, exactly 20 years before she became a cancer researcher. But the deeper she went into the system meant to save people like him, the more she saw a system that profits from keeping people sick rather than helping them heal.   2. The number that will stop you in your tracks, 80% of chronic conditions, including cancer, are preventable and why that truth is uncomfortable for an entire industry built on long-term treatment instead of permanent solutions—Laleh pulls back the curtain on what she calls the sick care system, where pharmaceutical companies, insurance companies, and even food manufacturers all profit from people staying dependent on medication rather than getting healthy. She explains why there is no financial incentive anywhere in the system to get people off treatment for good.   3. Why food prescriptions, not pharmaceuticals, are at the center of her Precision Empowerment Pathway Method and the real story of a client who came off seven of his eight medications and lost 70 pounds—Laleh applies the same targeted therapy approach she used in cancer research, identifying a disease marker and targeting it precisely, but replaces pharmaceutical drugs with personalized food prescriptions based on each person's unique biology. She is clear that her role is not to fix people, but to hand them the tools to become their own expert and take back control of their health. “The very, very first memory, actually, now that you ask that question is my grandfather died of cancer. Maybe I was about seven or eight years old." - 00:02:20 “People need to know that they do have control and they do have options." - 00:36:10 "I say that make food, your medicine, once and all the time.” - 01:03:24 Your voice matters!

  4. Shattering the Hustle Myth: Diana Bejasa’s Blueprint for Sustainable Time, Energy, and Focus

    Jun 29

    Shattering the Hustle Myth: Diana Bejasa’s Blueprint for Sustainable Time, Energy, and Focus

    My guest today is Diana Bejasa. Diana travels the country and the world, helping men and women in executive positions overcome adversity and cultivate sustainable work-life balance, both personally and professionally. She shares proven, reliable, and repeatable techniques - including manifestation and energy psychology - to help them reduce stress, reclaim energy, and achieve peak performance with immediate, sustainable results.. In this episode we discuss nervous system optimization, the pizza topping analogy, EFT, time/energy focus and presence. Website - https://www.dianabejasa.com/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@dianabejasaspeaks FB - https://www.facebook.com/dianabejasaspeaks IG - https://www.instagram.com/dianabejasaspeaks LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/diana-bejasa/ In this episode you will learn: 1. Why “hard work equals success” is a lie we've all been conditioned to believe and the moment surviving 9/11 as a high schooler two blocks from the World Trade Center rewired what Diana believed actually mattered—Through multiple catalyst moments, surviving 9/11, watching colleagues lose everything in the financial crisis, waking up with a bald spot from stress while opening nine restaurants in one day, and an unplanned pregnancy that arrived with divorce papers, Diana kept circling back to the same realization: hustle alone was never the missing piece. Alignment was.   2. The pizza topping analogy that completely re-frames how to think about priorities and why overloading your life with every “good” thing leaves you either burnt out on top or raw and falling apart at the foundation—As a former chef, Diana sees life through the lens of food. Pile every topping onto a pizza and one of two things happens: the top cooks while the bottom burns, or the bottom stays raw while nothing on top finishes properly. She uses this to teach high performers how to identify their true priorities instead of trying to carry everything at once.   3. 1.   What it actually means to lead through presence instead of performance and how being diagnosed with complex PTSD became the unexpected key to meeting herself exactly where she is, instead of where she used to be—Diana's word for the year is “present” in every sense of the word. Leading through performance means chasing enoughness through achievement. Leading through presence means working with the real ingredients available right now, including a brain reshaped by trauma, instead of wishing for last season's version of yourself. “First was surviving 9-11 when I was a child. I was a student in high school, went to school two blocks away from the World Trade Center, and I was in my senior year." - 00:02:49 “Being in the business world, I think it is a lot of this very male-dominated alpha force energy, like what we were talking about with hustle culture earlier." - 00:22:33 "I created this time energy focused journal, it's part of what I call the time energy focus system.” - 00:54:13 Your voice matters!

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

    Jun 26

    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!

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

    Jun 24

    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!

  8. 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!

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. 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.
