In this episode I sit down with Pam Allen-LeBlanc, an ICRT Licensed Reiki Master Teacher, animal communicator, and the founder of Reiki from the Farm. Pam has a background in science and an MBA, and she was skeptical about this work for a long time before the animals changed her mind. She now teaches Reiki, Animal Reiki, and Animal Communication to students all over the world from her farm in New Brunswick, where she lives with twelve horses and four dogs.

We get into what animals actually think about us and where they see us out of alignment, why animal Reiki looks so different from what most people picture, and what horses understand about presence, leadership, and boundaries that most of us have forgotten. Pam is also the author of The Reiki Business Book, so we talk honestly about money, visibility, and why so many healers struggle to charge for their work. If you have ever felt a nudge that you might be able to hear animals, this conversation is a permission slip.

What you’ll take away from this episode:

-Why animals lead their own Reiki sessions, and why consent changes everything about the work

- What animals understand about energy and presence that humans have largely forgotten

- The most common ways people block their own intuition, including overthinking and needing to be right

- A simple place to start if you want to try animal communication for yourself

- Why healers so often undercharge, and what a sustainable, soul aligned practice actually looks like

In the months that followed, Bryan could not find a single reason to care for himself or for much of anything at all, and the only way forward he could see was to learn how to care without a reason, which is another way of saying he learned to love unconditionally. What came back to him eventually was not just survival, but a strange and unmistakable joy.

In this episode of The Miracle of Healing, Lisa Campion talks with Bryan Welch, a business executive, writer, rancher, and practicing Buddhist who spent nineteen years running Ogden Publications, home to Mother Earth News and Utne Reader, and who now raises grass fed cattle, sheep, and goats with his wife Carolyn on their farm in Kansas. His new book from New Harbinger, The Gift of a Broken Heart: How Our Grief Can Connect Us, is the unflinching record of the years after his son’s death.

This is a conversation about grief as a teacher rather than a problem to be solved, about how loss takes apart our illusions of safety and separateness, and about what becomes available to us once we stop trying to get over it. If you are carrying a loss of any kind, whether the death of someone you love, the end of a marriage, or the quieter grief so many of us feel about the state of the world, this one will meet you where you actually are.

What you will hear:

-Why the grief we are most afraid of is the grief that connects us to everyone else

-What Buddhist practice has to offer a heart that has already broken

-The particular anguish of loving someone through addiction, told honestly and without cleanup

-How vulnerability becomes the doorway to compassion rather than the thing that ruins you

-Why if we love, we will grieve, and why Bryan no longer considers that a tragedy

Sometimes it arrives as discomfort. A quiet awareness that the life you've created no longer feels like the life you're meant to be living. Bonnie shares the signs, synchronicities, and quiet nudges that often appear when we've outgrown a chapter of our lives—and why letting go of what no longer fits is an act of profound self-respect. The question isn't what's wrong with your life. The question is who you've become since you created it.

]]><![CDATA[The Story of Empower Radio]]>https://www.theempowerchannel.com/p/the-story-of-empower-radiohttps://www.theempowerchannel.com/p/the-story-of-empower-radioWed, 17 Jun 2026 12:18:40 GMT

Empower Radio began as an idea scribbled on the back of a receipt following a lunch in 2007.

What if there was a way to leverage the power of radio to help raise consciousness and connect with people in a deeper, more meaningful way.

What if... there was a radio network designed to lift people up.

Something that wasn’t religious or political, but appealed to our highest potential and the greater good. Instead of tearing people down, we built them up. Gave them hope and tools to use during challenging times. Created a safe haven away from the negativity that surrounds us every day.

A network to EMPOWER people in every area of their lives.

The idea finally became a reality in 2009 when founder Brent Carey resigned his radio programming position out West and headed back to Michigan to launch Empower Radio.

Empower Radio began as an internet station broadcasting from the basement of a group of stations in Northern Michigan where Brent was consulting.

Live shows were made available after broadcast as podcasts. The audience wasn’t really sure how to use podcasts, so they were called “shows on-demand” while the audience was educated what this new podcast world was all about.

Empower was one of first national podcast networks offering podcast subscriptions for shows broadcast on the station

Slowly, but steadily, Empower Radio found an audience – and the right voices. Radio veterans and emerging leaders in personal development, spirituality, and health/wellness from across the country began to join our team.

The station moved into the Specs Howard School of Media Arts building in 2012 and continued to expand our lineup of hosts. The network grew organically into one of the leading online platforms for personal development and spirituality content. We also built a dedicated studio team to help bring it all together every day.

Core programming topics on Empower Radio include: Self-help, relationships, health & wellness, mental health, mindfulness, meditation, women’s issues, finances, spirituality, metaphysics, consciousness, the power of gratitude, and overcoming life challenges.

While life continued to change more quickly with every passing year, our programming adjusted to offer support and help people navigate those changes successfully.

Changing Times

Empower Radio moved into a new expanded studio in Spring of 2019. Unfortunately, just as we were getting used to our new surroundings, the world changed in March 2020. Thanks to our incredible studio team and hosts, we managed to keep going during the difficult days of the pandemic. A few shows added video to compliment the audio content and expand reach while people were homebound. While Empower was able to continue, the rising costs and other challenges led to us to press pause on the network in 2022.

The Evolution of Empower

After 13 years as an online radio station and podcast network, we transformed into The Empower Channel in 2024.

The same mission of personal empowerment, now with a video focus on YouTube, Facebook, X and Substack. We launched Empower TV on our YouTube channel to celebrate our 16th anniversary in 2025, offering a 24/7 stream of our most inspiring conversations. Now for our 17th anniversary, we’re going back to where it all started.

Empower Radio Returns

We’re celebrating our 17th anniversary by bringing back Empower Radio for a limited time. The station is online now at www.empowerradio.com featuring the very best conversations from 2009 right up to today.

We’ve opened up the archives to highlight our wonderful hosts and shows that in many cases, are even more relevant today than when they first aired. You will also hear new episodes from hosts Bonnie Wirth and Lisa Campion each week. Empower Radio will remain live through the summer.

A sincere thank you to every host, listener, supporter, contributor and team member over the past 17 years. We appreciate you!

But what if there's more to it? In this week's episode, Bonnie explores why exhaustion isn't always about what we're doing, but what we're carrying. If you've been feeling depleted, disconnected, or unable to restore your energy no matter how much rest you get, this conversation may offer a different perspective on what's really going on.

Why is “feeling your feelings” so hard? Bonnie dives into the physiology of fear and how our nervous systems are often wired to avoid the very emotions that hold the key to our liberation. Discover why your “scary” emotions are actually your greatest allies and how to give yourself permission to feel it all without losing yourself.

But what if it’s actually a slow-motion betrayal of ourselves? In this episode, Bonnie Wirth explores the hidden price tag of self-abandonment. It’s more than just being "too nice"—it’s survival that keeps you disconnected from your power, your health, and your truth. Learn how to stop sacrificing your life and start living from a place of radical self-loyalty.

In this beautiful episode of The Miracle of Healing, we welcome Janell Rae, an energy healer, teacher, and founder of the Energy Intelligence Method, who has spent more than twenty five years helping people identify and clear the patterns that keep them disconnected from their gifts, their guidance, and the truest version of who they are. Janell is also the author of the new book Satori, which shares her complete method for the first time and offers a grounded, compassionate map back to your authentic self.

Together we explore why emotional triggers are not problems to fix but energetic signals pointing you toward alignment, what energetic exiles are and how they quietly shape your choices and reveal the gifts you have been cut off from, why resistance shows up right when you are trying to grow and what your energy is actually trying to tell you in that moment, how to read the energy beneath your experiences so you can navigate life from internal truth rather than mental noise, and what it actually takes for deep, lasting change to happen in the body and energy field. This conversation is rich, practical, and deeply illuminating for anyone who is ready to come home to themselves.

In this episode you will discover:

- Why emotional triggers are energetic signals showing you exactly where your alignment is ready to shift

- What energetic exiles are and how they reveal the gifts you have been disconnected from

- Why resistance surfaces right when you are trying to grow, and what your energy is actually communicating

- How to read the energy beneath your experiences so you can navigate from internal truth rather than mental noise

- What it actually takes for deep, lasting change to happen, and why the mind cannot create alignment without the energy shifting first

In this profound episode of The Miracle of Healing, we welcome Dr. Scott Taylor, President of the Expanded Awareness Institute and former Executive Director of The Monroe Institute, for a deeply moving conversation about near-death experiences, shared death experiences, and the true nature of consciousness. Scott uniquely bridges three worlds as an experiencer, an academic researcher, and a teacher, having survived his own extraordinary shared death experience with his beloved Mary Fran and gone on to research NDEs at the doctoral level.

Together we explore what people consistently encounter when they meet the Light, what near-death experiences teach us about the nonphysical universe and the rules that govern it, the current science on NDEs and why the usual alternative explanations fall short, the role of the brain if it is not the origin of consciousness, and why meditation continues to surface as a doorway into these expanded states. Scott also gently shares the story of his second shared death experience during the recent passing of his father, and he offers grounded wisdom on how the lessons of NDEs and SDEs can genuinely transform the way you live.

In this episode you will discover:

- Scott’s extraordinary shared death experience with Mary Fran and why it happened to him when others nearby did not have the same experience

- What people consistently report when they encounter the Light

- The current science on NDEs and why mainstream alternative explanations do not hold up

- What NDErs and SDErs teach us about the nature of the nonphysical universe and the rules that govern it

-Why meditation keeps emerging as the bridge between the physical and nonphysical worlds

You are not alone. In this episode of The Miracle of Healing, I sit down with Brooklyn-based psychotherapist and author Tonya Lester to talk about her brand new book Push Back: Live, Love, and Work with Others Without Losing Yourself. Tonya is a go-to expert on relationships and communication, the writer behind the popular Staying Sane Inside Insanity blog for Psychology Today, and her work has been featured in The New York Times Modern Love column, The Guardian, Newsweek, Well and Good, HuffPo, and more.

Tonya makes a bold and refreshing case that it is okay to be difficult, not mean or rigid, but the good kind of difficult that lets the people in your life truly see you and understand what you need. We dig into why so many women suppress their own needs without even realizing it, how to engage in honest and productive conflict, and what it really takes to stand firm in your convictions without losing the relationships that matter most. If you have ever felt stuck in patterns of over-accommodating, smoothing things over, or shrinking yourself to keep the peace, this conversation is going to feel like permission and a roadmap rolled into one.

Key topics we cover:

- The good kind of difficult and what it actually looks like

- Over-functioning, shock absorbing, and shock magnets in relationships

- Perfectionism as anxiety in disguise and what to do about it

- Gaslighting and the best way to respond when it happens

- The difference between raging, collapsing, and pushing back
