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.

On this very personal and real but super light episode, Rebecca and I get down and dirty about our less than perfect life and mental health, and some of the gripes and frustrations we have with the world in its current state, and our current circumstances these days. Sometimes life can feel so good and pleasant, or terrible and dysfunctional depending on our current perspective and state of mind. This episode explores some of the ways in which we allow ourselves to become untethered and lose our priorities that steal our joy away, or otherwise preoccupy our time when we know we shouldn't let it! Then, we'll talk about some of the noise and nonsense out there that can contribute to poor mental health outcomes and a cascade of failures that makes us shut down or stop trying. Then lastly, some of the ways we can reset our priorities to get our mind and body right to really allow our souls to soar unincumbered by the state of the world out there or our personal problems always getting in the way of our progress and joy. To find the lightness and fun in the world and in ourself, to be less down in it and more above it all. We'll talk about the world today, and real-world ways in which we can retool, reset, and get our lives and priorities back into a good functional working order, to maximize growth and progress, and keep our happiness, strength, and growth at the forefront of our lives!
