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.

PART 2 of 2...
On this peppy spitfire episode, on a day when Rebeca was in a particularly rare "on fire" kind of mood, so I try to utilize her angst and life fatigue to tackle the important subject of, how can we heal our wounded soul after we've had just about enough bullshit and soul letdown after feeling overwhelmed by the totality of dumb, immature, dysfunctional, or hateful bullshit in the world today?! More specifically, when the accumulation of bad people and immature and awful nonsense in the world does a real number to our heart and soul, how can we put the pieces back together and feel good and empowered again after a string of emotional letdowns or one big letdown that appears to not want to go away?! What can we do to find catharsis, peace, and center again after an episode of emotional grief and heartache on a deeply emotional and spiritual level!? First, we will start with an article about what the function of emotions are in order to gain insight into what emotions are for and what they're all about. Then, we'll go down our BIG LIST of things that both HURT and HEAL our soul, after an emotional upset by something external. Then lastly, Rebecca with talk about an article about how to find real catharsis in life.
At the end of the day, what we are all trying to accomplish in this life is to find meaning, value, validation, and opportunity in life, to simply make the best of our circumstances and get ahead in this weird wild world. But there' so much BS nowadays that we often have to fight fight fight against the onslaught of so much nonsense, to get to where we need to be physically, mentally, and emotionally. This is a good fun irreverent episode you guys, especially if you enjoy it when we're a little bit fired up! For those who know us, I think you're going to get a kick out of this one, especially if you tend to agree with us! It's never about anger, hate, or hurting anyone! No, it's all about finding catharsis and the strength to fight fire with fire in a sometimes insane and backwards regressive social construct! We should always be fighting back, to be a little bit of a rebel, a renegade, but not to be a radical or extremist, oh no! But to fight for what's right and good in this world in a balanced and thoughtful way. Life is short, and we must find the strength and tenacity to defend ourselves and our happiness in a world that has no compunction with ruining your mental health or financial and emotional wellbeing. So, we fight back in a way that's positive, honest, and meaningful.
Please support us and support the cause! We're all about best practices, good mental helath, robust living, fighting against regressive and oppressive systems, and lifiting regular people up ouit of obscurity and into a better mindset and happier life in our culture and society today! We're good, kind people and we're always here to help. So please, small dollar donations are very much needed and appreciated to keep fighting the good fight, to educate where need be, and to contiue always helping regular folks find hope and empowerment in the world today.
