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.

    The Anti‑Aging Revolution: How Dr. Joy Kong’s Stem‑Cell Breakthrough Is Giving Women Their Power Back

    My guest today is Dr. Joy Kong. Dr. Joy Kong is a triple board-certified anti-aging physician and stem cell specialist, renowned for her expertise in stem cell therapy and commitment to educating both physicians and the public. With a strong presence in the industry, she has established herself as a trusted voice through her extensive lecturing at national and international conferences, as well as her publications in scientific journals. In this episode we discuss women in science, stem cell therapy, regenerative medicine and anti-aging. Website - https://joykongmd.com/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/dr_joy_kong LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/joykongmd/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@joykongmd FB - https://www.facebook.com/stemcelldrjoy/ Book - https://joykongmd.com/author/ In this episode you will learn: 1. Why stem cell therapy is not injecting a miracle cure, it's injecting intelligence that wakes up the healer already living inside you — Stem cells don't go into damaged tissue and become it. They send signals that tell YOUR own cells to wake up and repair. The new tissue that forms belongs to you, the donor cells simply delivered the message. This is why Dr. Joy calls stem cell therapy the first true form of energy medicine, and why her results outperform clinics using ten times the number of cells.   2. Why the system designed to protect your health may actually be the biggest obstacle standing between you and healing — From the FDA ruling that calling a cell "alive" makes it a drug, to doctors paralyzed by fear of regulators, to a single treatment costing $750,000 because Big Pharma needs to recoup its investment, Dr. Joy lays out exactly how the current model keeps patients dependent, doctors compliant, and genuine healing out of reach for anyone who doesn't know to look beyond the system.   3. Why "embracing aging" is one of the most harmful narratives ever sold to women, and what's actually possible when you address root causes instead of symptoms — Dr. Joy draws a clear line between celebrating wisdom that comes with age and accepting the decline that doesn't have to come with it. She was on the maximum dose of antidepressants by medical school graduation. Through functional nutrition, hormone optimization, and stem cell therapy, she came off all medication completely. The vitality you had at 25 is still possible. You just have to stop accepting the narrative that says otherwise. “As a little kid, I just feel like there's something inside of me that's meant for greatness." - 00:05:24 "When I first entered in 2016, only 20% of stem cell therapy, we're actually using birth tissue but now, but now it's about 50%." - 00:27:02 "There's always that myth about hormone replacement and how it can exacerbate cancer or have all these side effects, but that has been disproven.” - 00:52:05 Introducing Amplify Your Message: The Podcast Guest Mastery Experience, built from everything I've learned across 800+ interviews and six-plus years of hosting this show.

    From Hustle to Harmony: How the 7 Pillars of Abundance Can Save Your Health, Money & Soul with Rebecca Whitman

    My guest today is Rebecca Whitman. Rebecca Whitman, the Abundance Mentor, an international best-selling author, graduated with honors from Princeton University. She received the awards of Mindset Coach of the Decade and Empowered Woman of the Year by International Association of Top Professionals. “USA Today” rated her in the top 5 entrepreneurs to watch in 2024. Host of the top 1% globally ranked “Balanced, Beautiful, and Abundant” podcast that won the Positive Change Award. Her philosophy divides life into 7 Pillars of Abundance which include: spiritual, physical, emotional, romantic, mental, social, and financial. She coaches people to achieve alignment within these seven areas, so they can experience a life of joy and freedom. In this episode we discuss the 7 pillars of abundance, abundance mindset, work-life harmony, the four A's transformation and gratitude. Website - https://rebeccawhitman.com/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/rebeccaewhitman LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebeccaewhitman/ Abundance Journal - https://balancedbeautifulabundant.com/JOURNAL-ABUNDANCE-2025 Podcast - https://open.spotify.com/show/2SzExUDBseGiouHQtM4DVN In this episode you will learn: 1. Why abundance is not an accumulation of stuff but a feeling and how a Princeton graduate, actress, and recovering alcoholic built a seven-figure life by unraveling the belief that she had to earn her worth — Rebecca spent her life overachieving to earn love and approval. The unraveling came when her toxic marriage, a near-death gallbladder emergency, her father's passing, and her divorce all hit at once. And yet her best financial year ever came right in the middle of all of it. That's when she realized the secret wasn't hustle, it was alignment.   2. What the Seven Pillars of Abundance are and why neglecting even one of them is like riding a bicycle with a broken spoke — Spirituality, fitness, emotions, romance, mental, social, and financial. Not work-life balance but work-life harmony, where different seasons call for different focus. The pillar Rebecca sees most neglected in high-achieving women is health, always last on the list after everyone else has been served. The one most tied to worthiness wounds is financial.   3. Why happiness is a decision not an acquisition and the four A's of transformation Rebecca uses to break the comparison trap and move from scarcity to abundance in real time — Awareness, Acceptance, Affirm the opposite, and Action. A practical in-the-moment framework for catching a limiting belief and rewriting it without shame or judgment. Add her 36-year daily abundance journal practice, a gift she's offering to every listener and you have a complete system for rewiring your thinking from fear to love, one day at a time. “I have always been an overachiever, and I by the time I was eight years old, I was playing national level tennis." - 00:02:39 "Abundance is a feeling of more than enoughness versus a feeling of, oh my God, I don't have enough." - 00:43:39 "I would say that happiness is a decision, not an acquisition, and that we get to choose happiness day by day, moment by moment.” - 01:04:47 Introducing Amplify Your Message: The Podcast Guest Mastery Experience, built from everything I've learned across 800+ interviews and six-plus years of hosting this show.

    The Unforgetting Revolution: Why Your Body Is the Soul’s GPS and How It Can Heal Chronic Illness with Kelly McCann

    My guest today is Kelly McCann. Kelly K. McCann, MD, MPH is a triple board-certified physician in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Integrative Medicine, with additional certifications in Functional Medicine and Medical Acupuncture. She is the founder of The Spring Center in Costa Mesa, California, where she specializes in complex chronic illness, including Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, mold and mycotoxin illness, Lyme disease, and environmentally acquired conditions. In this episode we discuss the unforgetting project, healthcare innovation, integrative medicine, mind body spirit and healing as remembering. Website - https://thespringcenter.com https://drkellymccann.com https://unforgettingproject.com IG - https://www.instagram.com/drkellymccann/  FB - https://www.facebook.com/drkellymccann In this episode you will learn: 1. Why Western medicine’s biggest failure is never asking the most important question a patient has and how a triple board-certified physician walked away from everything she was taught to start asking it—Kelly went through medical school knowing the model was broken. Western medicine asks what are the symptoms, what is the diagnosis, what is the treatment, but it never asks why. Why is this happening to this specific person with their unique genetics, lifestyle, trauma history, and beliefs? Kelly built her entire practice around that one question Western medicine refuses to ask.   2. Why the body is not the enemy, it is the voice of the soul, and what it means that every symptom is actually a meaningful message telling you exactly how far you’ve strayed from who you truly are—Kelly’s framework is profound: we are born whole, then life layers conditioning, rules, coping mechanisms, and masks on top of who we really are. When the coping mechanisms stop fitting, the body speaks. First in whispers. Then louder. Then screams. The symptoms are not the problem to be suppressed, they are the compass pointing back to your remembered self. A thyroid issue might be about your voice going unexpressed. Autoimmune conditions might reflect a lifetime of having no boundaries.   3. What the Unforgetting Project is and how a nine-week program built around expressing previously unfelt emotions is producing healing results that are stopping even veteran therapists dead in their tracks—The Unforgetting is Kelly’s life’s work: a structured process of identifying and expressing the emotions that have been stored in the body, in a loving group container using explorer, companion, and anchor roles. In one three-hour Unforgetting Journey, a woman with a seizure disorder had her debilitating migraines and crippling anxiety completely clear. A therapist with ten years of experience said she had never seen anything like it and it belongs in every therapy curriculum on the planet. “There was this aha moment, I think sometime in residency, when I realized the structure and the way that we think about disease is from a physician's perspective is, okay, what are the symptoms that the patient is presenting with?" - 00:06:19 "what I've found is that the way to that place of loving, deep connection, is actually through the body." - 00:33:16 "We got to be responsible for ourselves.” - 01:08:07 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. At Empowerography, we believe stories change lives. Through powerful conversations, community, and empowerment-driven events like the Empowerography Live Conference, we help women turn their voices into impact because your story isn’t just yours…it’s someone else’s survival guide.

    Brad's Corner Episode 8: Why I Built This

    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 8 of Brad's Corner, I pull back the curtain on something I built, something that has been living inside me for a long time and that I wasn't sure I was ready to put out into the world. I take you back to the very beginning. Before the microphone. Before the podcast. Back to the camera, the corporate AV world, and the moment the pandemic changed everything, and I share why 800 conversations with extraordinary women eventually led me to build Amplify Your Message: The Podcast Guest Mastery Experience, what it is, what it isn't, and why I believe podcast guesting is not a marketing strategy. It is a relationship. This episode explores: •     The origin story behind Empowerography, from photography to corporate AV to picking up a microphone during the pandemic   •    What 800 conversations with extraordinary women actually deposited in me and the three most important things they taught me about showing up powerfully   •     Why podcast guesting is not a marketing strategy. it is a relationship, and what that distinction changes about everything   •     What Amplify Your Message: The Podcast Guest Mastery Experience is NOT and why I built something different in a world full of noise, shortcuts, and fly-by-night programs   •     Real feedback from real beta testers, including a professional educator who gave it gold stars before she even finished it   •     Why the right podcast host with the right audience is out there right now waiting to hear exactly what you have to say and why this course is the bridge   Key Insights: •     800 conversations with extraordinary women genuinely changed who I am as a man, not just as a host   •     The most powerful thing you can do in any conversation is not impress, it's connect. Land in people's hearts, not just their heads   •     Showing up powerfully isn't about being the loudest voice in the room, it's about being the most present one   •     Every podcast you appear on is an invitation into someone's community, their host's trust, and their listeners' most precious moments of the day. That is not a transaction. That is a privilege.   Key Message: Somewhere out there right now, there is a podcast host with a microphone and an audience who needs to hear exactly what you have to say. They just haven't met you yet. Amplify Your Message: The Podcast Guest Mastery Experience is officially open for enrollment on August 4th, with early bird pricing available through August 11th. This course was built with everything I have learned from 800 extraordinary women who taught him more about showing up in the world than he could have ever imagined. You are not in this alone. "800 conversations later, I am a completely different man." - 00:02:29 "Podcast guesting is not a marketing strategy, it is a relationship." - 00:05:38 "Somewhere out there is a podcast host waiting for you, this is the bridge." - 00:11:03 Contact Brad: Website Instagram LinkedIn YouTube X (Twitter) TikTok Substack #Empowerography #BradsCorner #AmplifyYourMessage #PodcastGuestMasteryExperience #PodcastGuesting #WhyIBuiltThis #YourStoryIsYourSuperpower #PodcastGuestingIsARelationship #ShowUpPowerfully #800Conversations #EmpowerographyPodcast #CourseEnrollment #EarlyBirdPricing #PodcastCoaching #BePresent #FindYourVoice #TheBridgeIsHere

    From Victim to Victor: Clover Lam’s Blueprint for Reclaiming Your Inner Diamond

    My guest today is Clover Lam. Clover Lam is a post-divorce wellness coach, viral content creator, and the founder of The Divorce Glow-Up— a transformational method helping millennial, child-free women rebuild their lives from the inside out after heartbreak.. In this episode we discuss the divorce glow-up, divorce healing, financial independence, money coaching, the ego death and the victim to victor mindset. Website - https://www.thedivorceglowup.com/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/thedivorceglowup YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@thedivorceglowup LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/cloverlam-coach/ In this episode you will learn: 1. Why divorce doesn’t just end a relationship—it detonates your identity and why that detonation is actually the invitation back to the diamond you were born to be—Clover describes divorce as an ego death that cracks through every mask, layer of conditioning, and false sense of safety a woman has built up over a lifetime. Using her diamond analogy, she explains how we are born radiant and resilient, then bury ourselves under masks to survive. Divorce beams a light into all of it and says, you’ve gone too far from yourself. Come back. The breakdown is the beginning of the glow up.   2. The difference between victim and victor mindset and why the brain is wired for safety, not success, making the conscious choice to rise the most powerful decision a woman can make post-divorce—Clover is direct: the difference between women who shrink after divorce and women who rise comes down to one choice. Being a victim feels validating because it gives the ego a reason why things fell apart. But it keeps you completely stuck. The moment you decide your divorce happened FOR you, not TO you, everything changes. That one degree shift in mindset is the compound interest that eventually transforms your entire life.   3. Why financial sovereignty is not just about money, it’s about the ability to walk away and how owning your money gives you the power to own every choice in your life—Clover spent years financially dependent and intimidated by money after her divorce. Now she teaches that financial clarity is not about being a math genius, it’s about knowing where you are, owning what you have, and building the safety net that lets you leave anything that no longer serves you. When you own your money, you own your choices. And that is the ultimate power move. “I remember my business strategist said one thing. He said, you are most probably positioned to serve who you once were. " - 00:02:31 "I have this analogy, I call it the radiant self-reclamation, and that's why my brand is called The Divorce Glow Up." - 00:19:33 "This life is meant to be lived through the entire spectrum of the human experience.” - 00:52:18 Your voice matters!

    The Power of Sensitive Leadership: Why the World Needs Empaths at the Helm with Jole Berlage Buccellati

    My guest today is Jole Berlage Buccellati. Jole is an independent sensemaker, leadership coach and author that works at the intersection of high sensitivity, deep thinking, leadership and trauma informed practice exploring how individuals and leaders can navigate complexity and impact deep systems change. With academic roots in biology, anthropology, psychology, and the arts, and lived experience as a highly sensitive person myself, I bring both rigor and complex insights to conversations about leadership, change making and systemic transformation. In this episode we discuss sensitive leadership, deep thinking, gender bias, cultivating sagacious leadership and Machiavellianism. Website - https://thesensitivesway.com/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/jolebuccellati/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@thesensitvesway LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jole-berlage-buccellati-4b79aba1/ In this episode you will learn: 1. Why sensitivity is not a personality flaw but a strategic intelligence and who has been deliberately suppressing it for centuries and why—From the persecution of women healers labeled as witches to the rise of the dark tetrad in corporate leadership (narcissists, Machiavellian personalities, psychopaths, and sadists), Jole traces exactly who benefits from keeping sensitive, deep-thinking people small, silent, and convinced their gifts are liabilities. The world isn’t missing more data. It’s missing the people who can actually see through the game.   2. What highly sensitive leaders see that others routinely miss and why the intelligence we’ve been suppressing for generations is exactly what a world in crisis is starving for—Highly sensitive people hold more complexity, see more dots, sit with paradox longer, and can read the emotional atmosphere of a room before a single word is spoken. These aren’t soft skills, they are precision instruments for navigating chaos. Jole calls this sagacious leadership: distributed, embodied, community-intelligent, and radically different from the lone wolf myth our systems were built to protect.   3. Why AI is a socially acceptable dissociation and the inner capacities we must strengthen instead of outsourcing if we are going to stay sovereign, embodied, and genuinely human—Jole’s AI-trained-on-her-own-work gave her its own best description: AI is a socially acceptable dissociation. It mimics connection without understanding anything. It strings probabilities without meaning. And the people in power know this, because a population that outsources its discernment to a machine is a population that is very easy to control. The antidote is presence, embodiment, and the courage to trust your own inner knowing. “There was a catalyst moment in terms of my own self-empowerment, which was when I was studying music therapy. " - 00:03:24 "We need to learn what I call energetic housekeeping." - 00:37:34 "I think what we lack in this world is our awareness and our capacity to create beauty.” - 01:15:15 Your voice matters!

    Queen‑Mode Activated: How High‑Achieving Women Turn Exhaustion into Sovereign Power with Maisie Lovett

    My guest today is Maisie Lovett. Maisie Smith Lovett is a trauma healer and holistic wellness mentor for high-achieving women who look successful on the outside but feel disconnected, depleted, or stuck in survival mode on the inside. She helps women decode what their symptoms are really saying—whether that’s chronic fatigue, gut and hormone issues, weight that won’t budge, anxiety, or burnout, by addressing the emotional, nervous system, and energetic roots driving them. Her work bridges body-based healing, emotional pattern release, and intuitive stress mapping so women can experience real relief without reliving the past or chasing endless protocols. In this episode we discuss trauma healing, perimenopause, gut health, pelvic floor health, queen energy and inner child work. Website - https://mslwellness.com/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/maisie.smith.lovett/ FB - https://www.facebook.com/maisieroi YouTube - https://music.youtube.com/@maisie.smith.lovett In this episode you will learn: 1. Why adding trauma healing to weight loss doubled her clients' results, and why every symptom your body is showing you has a story that no doctor is asking about — When Maisie integrated trauma healing into her wellness coaching, average results went from 10-20 pounds to 20-40 in the same time frame. One client lost 39.5 pounds in 12 weeks without working out once. The reason: every organ holds onto different traumas and emotions. Until you address what's underneath, you cannot out-exercise an emotional body at war with itself.   2. How your body decodes unprocessed trauma as physical symptoms, and the stress mapping process Maisie uses to identify exactly where her clients are holding their stories — Tight shoulders, gut issues, hormonal imbalances, TMJ, thyroid problems, and even which side of the body symptoms appear on all carry emotional meaning most practitioners never ask about. Maisie's stress mapping process identifies where the body is holding on and why, without reliving past trauma. Name it, locate it, dissolve it. You heal that much faster when you can put a name to what your body is carrying.   3. Why high-achieving women feel safest staying exhausted, and the one word that changes everything when "slow down" feels like failure — Staying busy keeps high-achievers from feeling what's underneath. "Slow down" triggers fear because it sounds like stopping. Maisie's reframe: soften. Slow your pace. Lessen the grip. Move through life fluid instead of braced for impact. The woman who learns to soften is actually more in control, and her body finally feels safe. “I was personal trainer and have been for over 12 years, still hold my license today. " - 00:02:37 “I think the biggest lie, we're going to put it as the biggest lie that the industry says is, just do more." - 00:24:20 "That queen energy, that's the strongest piece on the chessboard. F**k the king.” - 01:14:56 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.

    The Extreme Athlete’s Guide to Navigating Pain, Gratitude, and Relational Business Success with Athena Brownson

    My guest today is Athena Brownson. Athena empowers audiences to navigate life’s challenges with grit, authenticity, and purpose. She teaches how to embrace change, build balance, and align your career and life with your values. Drawing from her journey, Athena inspires others to redefine success, build their "why," and cultivate the mindset needed to overcome adversity and achieve meaningful growth. In this episode we discuss professional skiing, lyme disease, real estate, chronic illness, mindset shifting and relational business. Website - https://athenabrownsonrealtor.com/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/athenabrownsonrealtor_/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/athenabrownsonrealtor/ In this episode you will learn: 1. Why losing your identity can be the greatest gift you never asked for and what a pro skier with 15 surgeries in 10 years discovered only after she lost everything she thought she was — Athena went pro at skiing at 15, traveled the world, and thought skiing was her entire identity. When injuries forced her to retire at 24 she fell into a complete identity crisis. What followed was the most important lesson of her life: there is a massive difference between what you do and who you actually are.   2. What chronic Lyme disease, EMF sensitivity, and living in an off-grid RV taught a former elite athlete about surrender, listening to her body, and the difference between pushing through and giving up — Diagnosed with seven out of ten strands of Lyme plus every co-infection imaginable, Athena went from nonstop athlete to barely getting off the couch. EMF sensitivity then caused electrical burns from phone and computer use. She moved into an RV, wore lead gloves to use the internet, and needed plasma transfusions every other day to begin healing. Her truth: your body will make the decision for you if you don't listen first.   3. Why your timeline is not supposed to look like everyone else's and the quantum leap reframe that changes everything about how you think about feeling behind — At 35, feeling like she'd lost a decade to illness, Athena was reminded that life doesn't move linearly. Quantum leaps can happen fast. The college-marriage-kids-house timeline was never meant to fit everyone. Burn it. Stay open. Your path looking different isn't a sign you're behind, it's a sign you're uniquely you. “I learned how to ski when I learned how to walk. So I was just under two years old. " - 00:02:32 “You really have to do an analysis of everything that is incoming to you because we hold on to those things and our subconscious does." - 00:23:31 "Give yourself permission to be. Give yourself permission to show up in whatever capacity you're able to that day.” - 00:50:35 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.
