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.

    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!

    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!

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

    Journey to Authentic Harmony: Dr Pauline Crawford Redefines Gender Dynamics and Leadership

    My guest today is Dr Pauline Crawford. As a visionary British leader, Dr. Pauline Crawford is the Founder and Chief Vision Officer of Corporate Heart International, Past President of the Rotary Club of Global Impact, and Program Director for the International University of Entreprenology. Additionally, she holds the esteemed position of G100 Global Chair for Authentic Harmony & Positive Masculinity. Dr. Crawford is recognized as an accomplished international speaker and author of "The Power of Authentic Harmony." In this episode we discuss gender dynamics, authentic harmony, re-architecting systems, equality and lighthouses. Website - https://www.corporateheartinternational.com/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/paulinecrawfordmc FB - https://www.facebook.com/pauline.crawford.omps2 YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@DrPaulineCrawfordPHD LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulinecrawford/ Amazon Books - https://www.amazon.com/Power-Authentic-Harmony-Conversations-Transforming/dp/1959471015/ In this episode you will learn: 1. Why the conversation has to shift from equality to harmony and what “Say goodbye to equality, hello to harmony” actually means for the future of men and women in leadership—After over a century of fighting for equality, Pauline argues the framework itself has become a barrier. Equality asks women to fit into a system built by men, while harmony invites everyone to co-architect something entirely new one that honors the full spectrum of human differences, from gender to generation, as magnificent rather than problematic.   2. What gender dynamics intelligence is and how the four archetypes; Ruler, Philosopher, Sovereign, and Magician can revolutionise how we understand ourselves, lead others, and navigate conflict—Born from 30-plus years of observation, Pauline’s framework maps masculine and feminine energy across four archetypes. When understood as a reference point rather than a label, this map helps individuals identify their natural strengths, understand why certain relationships create friction, and build the kind of complementary teams that function like a well-tuned orchestra, where every instrument matters and none leads alone.   3. How to become part of the solution right now and why pausing, observing, and being intentional are the first three acts of anyone who wants to build a more harmonious world—Pauline’s invitation is not complicated: pause before reacting, get intentional about who you are and what you bring, and start having the conversations that most people are too scared or conditioned to have. Whether it’s in a boardroom, a classroom, or a kitchen, harmony is built one willing conversation at a time and the world is desperately ready for them. “I've always been kind of like a connector, like there's a lighthouse in the middle. " - 00:04:33 “The idea of gender dynamics intelligence came from my own experience way back as a young woman." - 00:39:59 "Always remember that the conversation is between you and somebody else.” - 01:07:08 Your voice matters!

    May 18

    Stop Performing Leadership: Amy Vaughan on Vulnerability, People-First Values, and Building a 500-Woman Digital Empire

    My guest today is Amy Vaughan. Today, I serve multiple missions: As CEO of Together Digital, I lead a platform that empowers 500+ women in digital and tech through strategic networking and community building. As an executive coach, I guide creative leaders and entrepreneurs to lead with authenticity, helping them navigate the intersection of innovation, purpose, and operational excellence. In this episode we discuss community building, women in tech, allyship, together digital and leadership. Website - https://www.togetherindigital.com/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/_amypvaughan/ FB - https://www.facebook.com/togetherindigital/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@togetherindigital3269 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/amypvaughan/ In this episode you will learn: 1.   Why the entrepreneurial spark never dies and how going back to your eight-year-old self is the truest measure of success—Amy grew up creating planeteer clubs and summer camps in a small trailer park in Ohio, already wired for community and entrepreneurship. After decades of conditioning, corporate paths, and self-doubt, it wasn’t until she found Together Digital in her late 30s that she remembered who she’d always been—and realized that eight-year-old Amy would be proud.   2.   What authentic leadership really means beyond the buzzword and why “executive presence” is just veiled feedback telling you to be someone else—Amy breaks down why true leadership isn’t a performance. It requires self-awareness, humility, and vulnerability—not a polished image. When she’s had to navigate layoffs, company sales, and hard transitions, showing up with radical transparency is what built the deepest trust, even earning thank-yous from people she had to let go.   3.   Why women won’t be replaced by AI but will be replaced by women who know how to use it—and the biggest revolution waiting in digital and tech—With AI rapidly replacing mid-tier roles where women are disproportionately concentrated, Amy argues the revolution isn’t just about learning the tools—it’s about embracing a constant-learner mentality, using AI responsibly and creatively, and leveraging the distinctly human qualities no algorithm can replicate: original connections, breakthrough ideas, and the creativity that comes from rest, not relentless productivity. “Entrepreneurship is a choice and you choose to show up no matter how hard it gets. " - 00:05:15 “Courage comes through action. You don't gain courage." - 00:35:01 "Only you can do you and no one's going to do it for you. You have to really just find your own path.” - 01:11:07 Your voice matters!

    Nervous System Regulation Meets Scripture: Lindsay Jorgensen’s Method for Lasting Transformation

    My guest today is Lindsay Jorgensen. Lindsay Jorgensen is a faith-centered mindset mentor who helps people identify patterns that move them out of survival mode and into God-aligned abundance. She approaches this by blending neuroscience, nervous system regulation, and faith-led identity work. After transforming her own relationship with money, safety, God, and purpose, Lindsay now teaches others how to rewire the patterns holding them back so they can create emotional peace, spiritual alignment, and financial overflow — without the hustle, doubt, or fear. Her work centers on the belief that abundance is your birthright, your nervous system is the gateway, and alignment with God transforms everything. In this episode we discuss STEERS framework, god-aligned abundance, grief, purpose and nervous system regulation. Website - https://www.theempoweredmindset.co IG - https://www.instagram.com/empoweredmindsetco/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@empoweredmindsetco YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@empoweredmindsetcollective/shorts In this episode you will learn: 1 Why grief became the catalyst for the biggest leap of faith and how surrendering to God opened a completely different view of life—Six weeks after giving birth to her third child, Lindsay's mom was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer and given 12 months to live. In that moment, on her knees in prayer, Lindsay chose: either sit and wallow in depression and anger, or cling to Christ and look for the opportunity God was showing her and that choice changed everything. 2 How depression for 13 years wasn't a brain chemistry problem, it was a pattern problem, and why "maybe I just can't be happy" was the lie keeping her small—Lindsay believed for over a decade that she was just someone who didn't know how to be happy, that depression was her default. But through nervous system work, identifying patterns, and faith-led identity work, she discovered those beliefs were priming the reality she was experiencing—and she could rewrite them. 3 What "your existence is your worthiness" actually means and why the unworthiness belief is the root pattern blocking money, purpose, peace, and abundance—The most common pattern Lindsay sees is people believing they're not worthy of success, love, joy, freedom, or money, usually instilled at a young age. But your worthiness isn't earned through achievement or perfection; you are worthy simply because you exist, no matter your background, sins, or mistakes. “The catalyst moment for me though in that time, I was pregnant with my third and that business started to get put on the back burner because of that. The catalyst moment actually for me was unexpected. " - 00:02:42 “We will only ever have what we believe is possible for ourselves." - 00:24:19 "You are divinely designed with an intentional purpose on this earth. You were created from love.” - 00:52:40 Your voice matters! If you’ve ever felt the pull to share your story, start a podcast, or step more fully into your power, this is your invitation.

    May 11

    Midlife Midwife Victoria Starr’s Spiritual Outlaw Journey to Reinvention and Healing

    My guest today is Victoria Starr. Victoria Lee Starr is a Spiritual Outlaw and Midlife Midwife who guides women through the sacred season of reinvention using breathwork for transformation, guided microdosing plant medicine support, somatic ritual, and emotional excavation. In this episode we discuss midlife reinvention, being a spiritual outlaw, breathwork, microdosing and liberation. Website - https://www.victorialeestarr.com/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/victorialeestarr/ FB - https://www.facebook.com/victorialeestarr YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChhEmw1zGltoanvgU3usJGA In this episode you will learn: 1 Why self-abandonment becomes a survival pattern and how it shows up as perfectionism disguised as love—Victoria spent decades proving her worth through Ironman races and ultra-marathons, seeking external validation from narcissistic parents and partners who never gave it, until a massive download on a beach in Costa Rica told her: "You will never abandon yourself again." 2 How the "perfect life" from the outside can be a prison on the inside and what it takes to blow it all up—Living in Costa Rica's jungle near the beach looked idyllic, but Victoria was suffocating in an abusive relationship, following rules that were killing her soul, until breathwork cracked open the armor and she chose the hardest path: leaving the country, the relationship, and the illusion of perfection. 3 What midlife reinvention actually looks like when you stop performing and start living full-time in a van with your dog—After leaving Costa Rica, Victoria lived through 10 months of the darkest nights of her life, then chose radical freedom: living full-time in a Ram ProMaster van for 4 years, learning to trust her intuition, keep herself safe, and step outside society's expectations as a self-proclaimed "spiritual outlaw. “So the first half of my life, this person, this woman, this human that was here on this earth, she adapted to survive. " - 00:02:48 “We're souls that have come into this human body and whether we have been here many different iterations and many more to come." - 00:32:13 "We all have different iterations of what love is, but it's this energy.” - 01:08:04 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.
