  • 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
    Jul 3 2026
    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.comIG - https://www.instagram.com/jaskirat_bajwa_dhillonIn 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.” - 00:57:16Your voice matters!

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

    The 80 Percent Truth: Most Diseases Are Preventable Through Lifestyle, With Dr Laleh Talebian
    Jul 1 2026
    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/drlalehIG - 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.” - 01:03:24Your voice matters!

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

    Shattering the Hustle Myth: Diana Bejasa’s Blueprint for Sustainable Time, Energy, and Focus
    Jun 29 2026
    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/@dianabejasaspeaksFB - https://www.facebook.com/dianabejasaspeaksIG - https://www.instagram.com/dianabejasaspeaksLinkedIn - 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.” - 00:54:13Your voice matters!

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

    The Mirror Method Explained: Instantly Reprogram Judgement and Rewire Your Brain with Elisabeth Carson
    Jun 26 2026
    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/@ElisabethUnlimitedFB - https://www.facebook.com/elisabethhoekstra0214IG - https://www.instagram.com/elisabeth_unlimitedLinkedIn - 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?” - 01:20:53Your voice matters!

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

    Brad's Corner Episode 7: The Men We Forget About
    Jun 24 2026
    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 itKey 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" - 00:12:30Contact Brad:WebsiteInstagramLinkedInYouTubeX (Twitter)TikTokSubstack#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

    Burn the System to the Ground: Julie D'Ann on Reimagining Education From the Foundation Up
    Jun 22 2026
    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=VFYTAKtbzh4YouTube - https://youtube.com/@illuminateyourlife6086FB - 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.” - 00:54:20Your voice matters!

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

    The Power of Permission: Dana Diaz on Why Women Must Give Themselves Permission to Speak, Heal, and Thrive
    Jun 19 2026
    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.comLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/dana-s-diaz-208927298/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA3d2zZqyIkzwaIPfztOhlwFB - https://www.facebook.com/danasdiazauthorIG - https://www.instagram.com/danas.diazIn 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.” - 01:16:18Your voice matters!

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

    Self-Sacrifice Is Not Selfless: Ana Pashyanti on Boundaries, Healing and Surviving the Unthinkable
    Jun 15 2026
    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/@AnaPashyantiIn 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.” - 00:40:35Your voice matters!
