On this very honest, vulnerable, and revealing but empowering episode, I speak about the epiphany I had about this podcast and brand, and some of the changes I need to make to change and adapt to the times and realities. I talk about what changes will tentatively take place, how and why it will change, how it will change and improve, how it will stay the same, and why sometimes we get so very real, honest, and vulnerable with you. It's not to bombard you or anyone with negativity, or to turn anyone off, but to simply get real with our audience, to contemplate on our lives and the times, and to make the necessary changes and growth when and where we can. To turn all that negative stuff into a life learning lesson, a tool for positive change and better outcomes, once we've contemplated on the problem. Rebecca and I are so very grateful for our lives, our audience, our friends and family, but in these times, but there's always a feeling of insecurity and harshness that most regular people are feeling today, that often gets in the way of knowing what to do, how to do it, or how to see it right or feel compete and whole in these unrelenting times; a culture seemingly skewed toward wealthy elitist influencers, and usually not for average folks trying to make their best life out of a gruelingly real situation, poor mental health outcomes, or just a lacking of choice, clarity, or resources to better themselves.

On this very fun and light Friday vibes episode, Rebecca and I check in on our mental health, then talk about the last episode and why I was feeling the way I was feeling, and what I meant by it all. We discuss billionaires and billionaire culture, "wealth crazy," and billionaire impunity, and the implications of it on our culture and society. We'll even talk about the new Metallica single that dropped recently, their new album coming out next year, and celebrity culture and celebrity hate, and living in times where we must adapt to the nature of the world today. Then, we discuss how we must learn how to be in order to get through hard times, cold winters, and people's lunacy out there anymore. It all sounds bleak, but I assure you, this is a pleasant an optimistic episode all about how we must learn to live now in the world we're living in today, in order to preserve our happiness, positivity, hope, and optimism, as the world out there and winter tries to kill us all! lol! To keep our sense of humor in scary and troubling times.

On this deep and emotionally insightful episode, I speak about some of the things that are getting to me these days, living in an indifferent capitalist hellscape, and what I go through to try to succeed, in what seems to be, a life that never relents, where I can break free and soar to my best and brightest future that we all rightfully deserve. I speak about what I go through emotionally as a podcaster and experienced tech savvy and agreeable person trying to live in this economy, as I try to live a bolder and more robust life, trying to live up to the greatest sense of self potential. I share my views on how we might find a greater sense of community and better outcomes when we do certain things a certain way, embodying the correct mindset, and how our society could be better if only we all worked together as a unit. As corny as it sounds, there's a way to better this world, but unless we stop tuning out, we may not get there. But I believe in regular people. I believe in the greatness of humanity, and I believe we are going to get there when we come correct and fight. That, when given the means, good regular people always rise to the challenge of their best, if only granted the opportunity. Thanks for listening.

On this monologue episode, I talk about how to figure out if you're an empath or not, but more than that, if you are an empath, how to bring about the best in your hypersensitivity and the best out in yourself so that you achieve and live the kind of life you want and deserve! I've got a few articles to guide me through, from empath talk, to maximizing an empath's natural emotional intelligence, to finding the bold determination to get up and over what holds us back to achieve a life of adventure, fun, and satisfaction. Please enjoy! If you can please help us, I'd so appreciate it. Sorry to be a broken record here, but we need help until we're sponsored. In the meantime, I make virtually nothing, and we want to believe that our audience, friends, and empath tribe cares enough to help us out a little until this ascends to the next level of awesomeness! But we can't do it without you. As little as a couple of bucks per month makes such a huge difference, and all monies go back into the podcast and brand. Just follow the links below. Thanks, you guys, we're dying here and need folks to please step up if you care enough to help out. We care so much, but we can't do this for free forever unfortunately (although we do anyway!). We appreciate anything you can do to help, from sharing to pitching in, nothing goes unnoticed by us! Thanks in advance.

Hey we're back! On this fun as heck but mind-bending episode, we ask the question, will we end up more like Mad Max, a postapocalyptic nightmare, fighting over fuel and resources, or more like Star Trek or The Orville, where we merge science and tech to ascend to the next level of humanity? Secondly, we'll talk about ideology as a whole, then peer into our ideological differences now, including an assessment on what happened during the midterms. Then we'll peer into our natural inclinations and differences to find out where our species will most like go into the vast future based on the past and present today? It's all in hopes to teach the importance of accepting ideological and personal differences and inclusion so that our differences aren't our stumbling block, but an asset and a rite of passage into a better and more diverse society in the future. We'll even go into an article that takes a very logical view into what humans may be like ten thousand years from now. This episode is a lot of fun, and we hope you enjoy!

On this short but sweet episode I talk about my gratitude for all of this and all of you guys who've supported us on our journey. I recognize and celebrate having made it to 100 plus episodes, yay! We couldn't have done it without all of you! Here I talk about some of the things I'm grateful for, and some of the things we're working on to better the show and brand for you, as well as to clarify any misnomers and misunderstandings that might have accumulated during our 100 plus episode tenure as podcasters. Not to mention, we're going on vacation this week, so this will be our only episode until next week, where we'll pick things up again, and hopefully, I'll have some extra energy and happy positive juju in the tank to share with you from our little coastal retreat! We're heading on over to the coast for a few days for a quiet peaceful romantic getaway, to sip coffee an contemplate existence and the universe, and how we might better ourselves, the brand, and the show, to maximize our utility and fun for you, our beloved audience! So, thank you for your friendship and support. If you ever have suggestions, by all means please let us know on our social media!
Happy Halloween!
Bry

Welcome to Surviving Empathy Podcast! You can find all our links at https://linktr.ee/bryarpatchmedia. We're all about empathy, kindness, empath talk, exploring the paranormal & weird stuff,…
www.youtube.com/@bryarpatchmedia
I'm Bryan Russ & I'm a comedian, author, voice artist, radio personality, chef, humanist, activist, animal lover, fitness runner, & strong realized empath with over 15 years of experience as an energetic empath. Bryar Patch Media is the brand for the podcast, books, comedy albums, videos, and anything & everything I'm working on!
Who we are:
Energetic empaths, paranormal enthusiasts, researchers, & investigators, mental health & quality of life advocates, freethinkers & freedom fighters who look at the totality of our culture & times to identify any & all regressive/oppressive systems & attitudes in our world. To bring about better clarity, mental, emotional, & spiritual health, advocacy & hope for people & the so they feel more empowered, balanced, happy & free. We're also a resource for empaths & highly sensitive people, & paranormal believers who take on the subject with a balanced, skeptical but open-minded approach! As empaths we have a clairvoyant wisdom to the subject matter.
What it's all about:
This is a podcast about the paranormal, cryptids, and all unexplained phenomena, as well as a resource for empaths to uncover & better understand the phenomenon in a down to earth & accessible way. We talk about robust mental health for regular people & empaths alike & we take on systems & attitudes that oppress & exploit people.
What we care about:
We strive to build a community (Empath Tribe) for regular people, empaths, those struggling with mental health imperfections, & people having a hard time finding opportunities, meaning, & balance in this world. We strive for best practices & sustainable outcomes in our culture. We talk about real life stuff in a straightforward & honest way & try to keep the show both impactful, thoughtful, fun & playful as well.
Our background:
Bryan Russell is the main host of the show, with a background in the military, as an EMT, phlebotomist, massage therapist, energy healer, chef, radio technician & radio personality. My biggest love is being a chef, having worked from Cook to Head Chef & everything in between! When I was in school I came to the realization I had the ability to sense vibes, energies, intentions, & emotions that aren't always my own. I can pick up on residual energies & spirits, often with the ability to sense the past & different types of people & emotions that once inhabited an area, or an actual spirit haunting a location. I'm a full-time comedian, podcaster, researcher, voice artist, author, & lover of the funner, more cheerful, & compassionate side of life.
Rebecca Russell is my wife, best friend, & co-host of the show. Also an empath, she & I have come to learn much about the the spirit realm & the unexplained. In real life we're just down to earth people with a relaxed & fun sensibility. Sometimes we're fun-loving & humorous, sometimes we're deep & very real. Rebecca was a medical assistant for over 18 years in a major pediatric office & now works as a customer service supervisor for a major grocery store. We're all about trying to make the world feel more comfortable, fair, less punitive, more classy, fun-loving, & have more positive energy, fairness, dignity, & good cheer.
