ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What can one man learn from listening to the stories of more than 800 women?
Brad Walsh, founder and host of the globally ranked Empowerography podcast, has dedicated the past six years to amplifying women's voices and sharing their stories with the world. But what makes his work so extraordinary isn't just the number of women he's interviewed. It's how deeply those conversations have transformed him.
I was so moved by Brad's story and the love he carries for the two women who shaped his life: his mother and grandmother. Their strength, sacrifices, and unwavering support inspired the work he does today. And when he shared how he continues to feel connected to his grandmother through the signs he believes she sends him, I was reminded of the beauty of trusting what we feel, even when we can't explain it.
Our conversation took us through some incredibly meaningful territory. We explored how confidence is built through action, why comparing ourselves to others keeps us stuck, and the powerful lessons Brad has learned about resilience, self-worth, and the importance of truly listening.
This conversation is a beautiful reminder that our stories are some of our greatest teachers, and when we create space to truly listen, we discover something new within ourselves.
I hope you'll listen with an open heart and take a moment to consider what the stories around you might be teaching you.
Welcome to Wisdom From Within.
Somewhere along the way, many of us learned to trust everyone else’s answers more than our own.
This podcast is a reminder that you were born with extraordinary intelligence, far beyond IQ alone. Your body knows. Your emotions speak. Your intuition guides and your nervous system remembers.
Every week, we’ll explore the science, stories, and practices that reconnect you to yourself so you can lead, love, create, and live with greater clarity, courage, and trust.
Because the answers you’ve been searching for aren’t out there.
They’re already within you.
Quote: “You can't compare your one year to someone's five year.”
