Allen Hall: Howard, welcome back to the program.  Howard Penrose: Hey, thanks for having me.  Allen Hall: It’s about time everybody realizes what motorDoc can do. There’s so much technology, and I’ve been watching- Yeah … your Chaos and Caffeine podcast on Saturday morning, which are full of really, really good information about the motorDoc as a company, all the things you’re doing out in the field, and how you’re solving real-world problems, not imaginary ones- Yeah real-world problems. Oh, yeah. Yeah, and  Howard Penrose: whatever annoys me that week. Exactly. And, and whatever great coffee I’m trying out. Yes. Except for a few. We’ve had the ReliaSquatch down our- Yes … um, a couple of times. Uh, yeah, no, I, I enjoy it, and we gotta get you on there sometime. I don’t do- I, it- … a lot of interviews other than an AI character we put in. Allen Hall: It’s a very interesting show because you’re [00:01:00] getting a little bit of comedy and humor and s- Yeah … and a, and a coffee review, which is very helpful because I’ve tried some of the coffees that you have reviewed, that you’ve given the thumbs up to. But if you’re operating wind turbines and you’re trying to understand what’s happening on the drivetrain side, on the generator, everything out to the blades even, main bearings, gearboxes- Yeah all those rotating heavy, expensive parts, there’s a lot of ways to diagnose them-  Howard Penrose: Yes …  Allen Hall: that are sort of like we can look at a gear, we can look at a joint, we can look at roller bearings, whatever, but motorDoc has a way to quickly diagnose all of that chain in about- Yeah … 15 seconds.  Howard Penrose: Well, a little longer than 15 sec- more like a minute. A minute, okay. It feels like paint drying. But- Uh, in any case, yeah. Uh, uh, and, and what’s kind of funny is, um, back in the ’90s, uh, EPRI actually accidentally steered the technology away from its [00:02:00] core purpose, which was in 1985, um, NAVSEA, the US Navy, had done research on using current signature analysis for looking at pumps, fans, and compressors, the bearings, the belts, the components, all the rotating components using the motor as the sensor. Not too much different than we are now. I mean, mind you, we got better resolution now, we’ve got, uh, more powerful– I mean, I look at my data from the ’90s, and now it’s completely different. Um, and then Oak Ridge National Lab, same thing, bearings and gears in motor-operated valves. So in 2003, we were the first ones to apply electrical and current signature analysis to some wind turbines in the Mojave Desert. Wow. Yeah. So, um, nobody had tried it before. Everybody said it couldn’t be done. And, uh, that was a bad thing to say to me because- … it meant I was gonna get it [00:03:00] done. Right. At that time, um, we were looking at bearing issues and some blatant conditions with the, um, with the, uh, generator using a technology called Altest, ’cause I was with Altest at the time. And, uh, I had taken an EMPath software and blended it with a, a power analyzer, and they still have that tool to this day. I was using that technology all the way through 2015. 2016, I should say. And then- And then switched over to the pure EMPath, which was more of an engineering tool. And then more recently, in 2022, uh, made the decision to ha- to take all the work we’d done on over 6,000 turbines, uh, looking at how we were looking at the data and what we were doing on the industrial side, and took a, uh, created a current signature analyzer that would do one phase of current to analyze the entire powertrain. Allen Hall: So when you tell [00:04:00] operators you can do this magic, I think a lotta times they gotta go, “ Howard Penrose: What?” Oh, yeah, yeah. They don’t understand it because they’re used to vibration- Right … which is a point analysis system. Right.  Allen Hall: Vibration at this- Yeah … particular location. Yeah. One spot- Even if it’s- … or a couple  Howard Penrose: spots triax, they’re reading through material, up through a transducer. Hopefully, they put it above the bearing and not in the middle of the machine like everybody is now, because everybody’s trying to sell a sensor. Right. True. They’re not selling a- they’re not selling accuracy. They’re just selling sensors. Right. So, um- Yeah … you know, uh, I, I’ll, I’ll even talk about one of the companies here. We’ve got Onyx here, and they do it right. I mean, they’ve been doing it right pretty well because we’ve been doing some of the same towers they’re on, and we can match the data they’re getting. Oh, good. Right? Yeah. Uh, so but they get it in multiple spots, and there’s areas they can’t quite reach, so we’ll detect those areas as well. So it’s a good melding of two technologies.  Allen Hall: Oh, sure. Sure,  Howard Penrose: sure. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So when you have electrical signature and you have vibration, but in [00:05:00] cases if you don’t have vibration, we’re a direct replacement.  Allen Hall: Because the generator- I  Howard Penrose: dare say that.  Allen Hall: Yeah. Whichever–  Howard Penrose: I dare say that, um, with- Well, the  Allen Hall: generator is acting as the sensor. Howard Penrose: The air gap. The air gap in the generator s- specifically, yes. Yeah. Generator, motor, transformer. Right.  Allen Hall: Yeah. So any of those- Mm-hmm … you can clamp onto, look at the current that’s on there. Everything that’s happening on the drivetrain, in the gearbox, out on the rotor- Yep … main bearings, all of that creates vibration. Creates a torque. T- a, a torque. Yeah. Yes, more exactly a torque. Yeah. And that’s seen in the generator, in the current coming out of the generator. Yes. So those signals, although minute, are still there. Yes. So if you clamp onto that current coming out of the generator, you’ll see the typical AC sine wave sitting there. But on top of that- Is all the information about how that drivetrain is doing  Howard Penrose: Absolutely, and everything else. Anything electrical comes through [00:06:00] that. So what you do is just like vibration, you do a spectral analysis. So every component has a frequency associated with it, just like vibration. It’s, as a matter of fact, I, I keep having to try to explain to people electrical and current signature analysis is no different than vibration analysis. It’s the same concept. We use the same tools. The signature looks just a little different. It’s a little noisier, um, but you need that noise in order to see everything. But we have a time waveform, and instead of, um, inches per second or millimeters per second, whatever, you know, uh, velocity, acceleration, and displacement, uh, what we end up with is decibels is the optimal method. You can look at straight voltage signatures at those points or, or current signatures, but the values are so small that you have to look at it from a logarithmic standpoint. Right. There are some benefits to it versus vibration, and there’s some things that aren’t as good as vibration. [00:07:00] So, you know, we, we do… You have to… Any technology is gonna have their strengths and weaknesses. Sure. So we will see everything all at once. Load doesn’t matter. Right. Speed doesn’t matter. It’s… Only reason speed matters is the location of the frequencies. Uh, so the higher the resolution, meaning the longer you take data, the less chance you have on a lightly lo- loaded machine of blending the peaks together. Right. Um, on the flip side, if I have two bearings turning at the exact same speed, I couldn’t tell you which one it is. Because they’re the same. Right.  Allen Hall: And the mechanical features of that bearing is w- what creates the signal that you’re measuring. Exactly. So if a bearing has five rollers versus 10, just imaginary thing. Yeah, yeah. Five rollers versus 10 has a different electrical signature, so you can determine, like, that bearing, that 10 roller bearing- Yes … has the problem, the five is fine. Yes. Yeah. That’s the magic, and I think people don’t translate the mechanical world into the electrical world. That that’s what’s [00:08:00]happening. They,  Howard Penrose: they don’t because, because what’s happening is they named it wrong.  Allen Hall: Yes.  Howard Penrose: A majority of our users are mechanical folks. Sure. Our vibration analysts and stuff like, ’cause they know how to look at the signatures. Right. Everybody tries to force it on their electrical people, and electrical people go, “We don’t know what this is.” Yeah. And it’s, it’s, it’s a matter of that training and, and, you know, in the electrical world, you’re not taught to look at that. Right. Yeah. It doesn’t matter. Mechanical world, you’re taught to look at that. So our intern, we were trying to bring in electrical engineering interns and found out that just wasn’t working. So last year, I brought in my first, uh, intern that’s, you know, he’s been with us now since I brought him in. Okay. Uh, and, uh, Amar, and, uh, you know, he’s helped us develop our vi- uh, vibration software to go along with it. Guess what? It’s the same thing. It’s the exact same sy- system Um, but we just take in a vibration signal instead. But he picked up on it immediately as a [00:09:00] third-year college student. I can take somebody with a decade as an electrical engineer with a PhD and they can’t figure it out.  Allen Hall: Well, because you’re, you’re taking real- Because it’s different. Yeah. It’s r- well, it’s real-world components-  Howard Penrose: Yeah …  Allen Hall: creating electrical signals. That’s hard- Well, you have- … to process for a lot of people. Yeah,  Howard Penrose: yeah. It’s  Allen Hall: just not  Howard Penrose: something that we do every day. But that’s… If they, i- if we sa- i- i- if you’re looking at vibration and you start looking at the sensor, it gets complicated too, ’cause guess what? It’s an electrical signal. Right. It’s, it is technically electrical signature now. It’s converting a  Allen Hall: mechanical signal- Right … into an electrical signal, which is what’s happening in the generator anyway. Yeah.  Howard Penrose: Whether it’s a piezoelectric cell that’s generating a small signal- Yeah … on top of a small waveform that you then take out, you demodulate, uh, or it’s, uh… So you take that carrier frequency out, or it’s a MEMS sensor, which is the same thing. You know, the, it just sees some slower s- It, it does more of a digital output. So you, you, you know, you have those, or you [00:10:00] have this, which just basically uses a component of the machine to, to, as its own sensor. There is one other difference between them, too, and, uh, I find this very useful when I’m going out troubleshooting something that other people can’t figure out, uh, ’cause we use all the technologies. So in this case, it would be, uh, the structural movement. Okay? So, so say I have a generator and there’s something wrong with the structure, and the whole machine is vibrating. So y- well, if I put a transducer on it, they might think that’s vibration or something else. We don’t see it. Right. We only see directly exactly what’s happening with the machine. Sure. So a lot of times when we go in to troubleshoot something that people have done vibration on and everything else, it’s been pro- a, a problem for them for years. We walk in, and all of a sudden we’re identifying whether it’s the machine or it’s something else right off the bat. Then we can take a look at the vibration data and [00:11:00] say, “Okay, it wasn’t the bearing or the bearing, um, structure. It was, you know, the mounting.” Right. It wasn’t  Allen Hall: fastened  Howard Penrose: down properly. Yeah,  Allen Hall: yeah. Right.  Howard Penrose: Go tighten that bolt. Right, exactly.  Allen Hall: Well, I mean, that’s the cheap answer. Yeah. I’d rather tighten a bolt than rip apart a motor or a generator- And, and- … every day …  Howard Penrose: and that’s the whole point. Now, there are other strengths that go with it. So for instance, on the powertrain of a wind turbine, I can tell you if you’ve lubricated the bearings correctly. Wow. Because part of what we do is we do take those electrical signatures, and we convert those over to watts. Watts is an energy conversion. Sure. So you see that as heat or some type of loss. So whatever, whatever’s being lost there is not being sent to the customer. To the outside. Right. Making money. So, um, if I’m taking a look at, say, a main bearing, I might see watts or kilowatts of losses. So you’re gonna have some ’cause you have friction, right? But when we see it increase on, say, a roller, [00:12:00] or the rollers, or, or the cage, that’s usually an indicator that I have a lubrication issue. Or if we only see it on the outer race, that means that they didn’t clear out all the old grease when they were lubricating it, ’cause the rollers then have to ride across it- Right … ’cause it dries up.  Allen Hall: Sure.  Howard Penrose: Uh, and will carry contaminants. So if you see that, you go up, clean it up, you’ll extend the life of the bearing. Absolutely you will. Without having to do a lot of work. So, uh, we, we look at our technology as more so early in the, in the stage of a condition. I don’t wanna call it failure, ’cause it’s not a failure. It’s something that’s mitigable. And I made that word up. You can mitigate it. Meaning you can go up and correct it and extend the life of that component. Sure. Uh, in gearboxes we’ll see problems with, um… Well, the, the one we’re talking about here a fair amount is all the circulating currents going on uptower. We did that research. The current signature analyzer we have is a direct result of doing wind turbine [00:13:00] research just on circulating currents uptower, ’cause we conferred everything over to, to sound at 48 kilohertz. And so that gives me a 24-kilohertz signal. That high-frequency stuff, which we’re researching in CGRE, and IEEE, and IEC, is called supra harmonics, which I– we talked about that before. Yes, we have. Yeah. And, uh, so when you start seeing that in the, in, in the current that’s circulating uptower because the ground that goes from the top of the tower down is for- DC lightning protection. And lightning protection, yeah. It’s not meant for, um- Not for  Allen Hall: high frequency- Yeah …  Howard Penrose: currents. Yeah. Uh, we, when we measured it, when we mapped out dozens of towers of all different manufacturers, we found that the impedance about halfway down the tower is where it ends. Sure. The, the resistance. And then the increased, uh, the high-frequency noise turns any of your shaft brushes into resistors. And at about 15 kilohertz, no current is [00:14:00]passing through them. It’s all passing the bearing, which becomes more conductive the higher the frequency. So with 60% of main bearings failing due to electrical currents, it’s actually currents that are circulating uptower. It’s not static. There is some static up there, but it’s not static. It’s coming from the controls, the, the generator, and everything else. Inverters,  Allen Hall: converters.  Howard Penrose: And we’ve seen up to 150 amps passing through a, through a bearing.  Allen Hall: So I– We run across a lot of operators who have been replacing main bearings, and they don’t know the reason why. Yeah. And I always say, “Well, call Howard at MotorDoc because I would almost bet you you have the f- high frequency running around uptower in the nacelle- And the next main bearing you put in there is gonna go the same way as the- Yeah … first one you put in there. Until you cut off that circulating current and then the cell, you’re just gonna continue with the problem. Then you haven’t eliminated the problem, you’re just fixing the result of that problem. Yes. But it takes- Yeah, you’re, you’re- How, [00:15:00] how, well, how long- You’re replacing  Howard Penrose: a fuse.  Allen Hall: Right, you’re replacing a fuse. Yeah. How long does it take you to s- to determine- An expensive fuse. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah, ’cause you’re taking the rotor down. Yeah. Well, how, how fast can you determine if you have harmonics uptower that are gonna be causing you problems? 120 seconds.  Howard Penrose: Okay.  Allen Hall: So that’s the thing. I think a lot of- I mean,  Howard Penrose: that’s of the actual data collection time. So you clamp on uptower, uh, and then you can… Well, the way we have it set up now, you just tell it you wanna collect data every five s- uh, five minutes, and then you go downtower, let it collect its data, go back up, grab it. Um, it’s like… It’s huge. It’s this size. So, um, and then you connect- It plugs into a laptop. Yeah. Plug it into a laptop or any type of tablet. Um, it, it’s Windows now. I’m trying to get away from Windows. We’re gonna have Linux systems, uh, as well. Uh, and then you use that to, um, just collect that data, and then you press another button. Now it pops up, and it tells you if you’re in danger or not, [00:16:00] the amount of current passing through the bearing, and the frequencies all the way out.  Allen Hall: So the ideal is you’re gonna have this kit with you in the truck. Yeah. And as you see these problems pop up, you’re gonna clamp on uptower. Yep. You’re gonna measure these circulating currents, and you’re gonna know immediately if you have another mechanical issue, a, a lubrication issue- Oh, yeah. It’ll look at- … some kind of alignment issue, or- You’ll get all  Howard Penrose: of this information at once. So you- Right … if you go on the power side. So certain turbines, like anything that has the transformer downtower, you don’t have to climb. Right. GE. I mean, I don’t climb. So, uh, uh, you know, th- and that was part of the, the concept behind when we started down this path because I’ve been in the wind industry since 1997. So one of the things I always saw was, and, and we talked about even, you know, here when it was called AWEA, and we were talking always on the health and safety side about wearing out the technicians. Um, so we discovered that, you know, what was it? Almost 60% of the [00:17:00] turbines you didn’t have to climb. Right. Oh, yeah. And even the ones you do, you go up, you set it up, and it’ll tell you where you need to focus. The other thing in the powertrain, let alone the generator, when we do a sweep of a site– Now, if we do a straight electrical signature analysis, I’d term that one as a technician’s tool. Sure. That’s more of an engineer’s tool. Uh, a lot more data, a lot harder to set up. But even though I’m saying harder to set up, it’s still pretty easy. It’s still minutes. Right. Yeah. Most technicians will collect data with, like, a couple hours worth of training. Yeah. You g- You basically gather that data, and if you’re getting a site, so we’ll go out– I love going out in the field. So we’ll go out in the field, especially if it’s a tower we don’t have to climb I’ll knock out, uh, well, let’s just say I’ll, I’ll, I’ll name one. Say a GE 1.6. I’ll knock out one of those every eight to 11 minutes, depending on how you get to the tower.  Allen Hall: So that’s a full diagnosis of drivetrain- Yeah … plus anything odd happening- Yep with circulating currents and all that [00:18:00] can- Oh, no, no. Circulating- Or just- … current, that’s a- That’s a separate thing at tower … separate study that- Okay … you have to do that uptower. But anything, anything drivetrain-wise, you can be in and out- Yeah … in a couple of minutes. Yep. Okay. So there’s a lot of operators that have end-of-warranties coming up, right? Yes. There’s been a lot of developments, so they’re kind of running into the end-of-warranty, and they don’t know the health status of their drivetrain. Same thing for a lot of operators that are in- Yep … full service agreements, and they’re questioning whether they’re getting their money’s worth or not. Yes. I always say, “Call Howard at Motordoc. You guys can have a whole site survey done maybe in a couple of days, and you will know all the problems that are on site for the lowest price ever”. Yeah. It’s crazy how fast you can do it and how accurate it is. I talk to operators that use your system, so I hear you. Yeah. Your podcast, listen to your podcast, I’m calling your customers to find out what they say, and they love it. Oh, yeah. They can’t believe how accurate it is. Yeah. Well, the thing about that is we as an industry need to make sure that our turbines are operating at [00:19:00] maximum efficiency. Yep. And if a simple tool like the Motordoc EMPath system exists, we need to get customers, operators in line to start doing it worldwide. Australia- Oh … Europe-  Howard Penrose: Yeah. We- … Canada. Australia, we’re trying to get into, but right now we even have OEMs using it through North- That’s good … and South America, Asia. Good. Uh, Middle East, um, and, uh, and some of Europe. Good. So it’s, it’s, it’s really taking off. Uh, I’d say probably our biggest market right now is Brazil. Sure. They’re going crazy. Well, the, the turbines are- They’re having a lot of problems. Yeah.  Allen Hall: Right. And the, well, those turbines have a h- high usage, right? So because- Oh, yeah … the winds are so good, they’re operating at, like, capacity factor is above 50%. Yes. It’s insane. Yeah. So there’s a lot of wear and tear. There’s no downtime for those turbines.  Howard Penrose: Yeah. Well, and, and people think it’s all the starting and stopping. It’s not. No. It’s a grid-related issue. So we have- Sure … we have a low frequency. And you know some of the stuff I volun- I, I’m, I’ve been volunteered for- [00:20:00] Yeah … uh, including the CIGRE thing. Um, so I get to sit in the grid code committees for IEEE and put my, and our input into that, uh, and kind of watch the back of the IBR industry, right? Mm-hmm. ‘Cause there’s a definitely bias against our industry. Um, and I also, uh, get to hear what’s going on in the grid side of things from CIGRE worldwide, and it’s all very similar, and it has to do with low-frequency oscillating currents- Yes … called subsynchronous currents- Yes … which are low enough not to damage large synchronous machines. And they thought, and there’s books written on this, by the way, multiple books written on wind turbine impact- Uh, and they’re seeing now, um… Well, we detected it first, along with Timken. Hank, uh, and, and I went out to a site, and we detected for the first time, because of how they wanna do the testing and where the site was located, we saw the oscillating torque [00:21:00] in the air gap, ’cause that’s one of the things the technology does. It actually measures the torque, air gap torque. Sure. So we were watching the oscillating torque as a tower started up. And so we did, we went through the rest of that site looking at the same stuff in the same way. It increased our time and data collection, and time on site. But then we started looking for it at other sites, and going to pass data because I don’t have to go back and retake data. Right. And we’re like, “Oh my God. It’s everywhere.” 16 hertz, 21 hertz, and 50 hertz. And we found a paper that specifically identified that as the sub synchronous frequencies for 60 hertz. So we know what they are also for 50 hertz. Once we identified that and we saw how much the torsi- torque was oscillating, we worked with Shermco, who got us some information on Y-rings that were failing. Yeah. And they were all failing… When the metallurgy was done, they were all failing from fatigue. And you’re like, fatigue how? What’s fatiguing these connections? [00:22:00] Well, the fatigue is that air gap torque- Exactly … because you’re basically causing the, the, everything to oscillate a little bit, and that causes the windings to move slightly. It’s a living,  Allen Hall: breathing machine-  Howard Penrose: Exactly … this generator  Allen Hall: is.  Howard Penrose: Yeah.  Allen Hall: It’s not  Howard Penrose: static. It’s definitely not sta- no electric machine is static. No. Even a transformer’s not static. Right.  Allen Hall: So- There’s a little  Howard Penrose: bit of wiggle going on there all the time All the time. And it’s minute, so it takes a long time. Right. And what, uh, uh, everybody… Well, first people thought it was a particular manufacturer, which it wasn’t. Turned out every defig’s failing the same way. Sure. You’re fatiguing it. Yeah. Every bearing is failing the same way, even in the gearbox, main bearings, and everything else. Right. All of these conditions are happening across all the OEMs, but they’re not allowed to talk. Well, this is, this is the thing that  Allen Hall: I like watching your podcast.  Howard Penrose: Yeah.  Allen Hall: The Chaos and Caffeine. It comes out Saturday mornings. It’s on YouTube. If you haven’t- Yeah … clicked into it, you should click into it  Howard Penrose: because a lot of these issues are discussed there. It’s definitely, um… [00:23:00] Let’s just say I’ll speak Navy quite a bit. Allen Hall: It’s a great podcast, and I think what you’re doing with the EMPath system- Yes … at motor dock is really a game changer. Yeah. I’m talking to everybody, all the operators I know. I keep telling them to call you and to try the system out because it’s so inexpensive and it does the work quickly and efficiently, and it’s been proven. There’s no messing- Oh, yeah … around when you’re talking to MotorDoc. I…  Howard Penrose: Somebody dared tell me that there’s no standard for it. There’s ISO standards for it. Yes. There’s IEEE 1415- Yes … which I chair. Uh, and there’s other standards coming out- This is- … associated with it. And there’s a document that I also chair for Sea Gray- Called A178, which is the practical application of the technology. So it’s well-documented. There are traceable standards for it. I need more  Allen Hall: operators to call you- Yeah … and to talk to you and get systems in the back of the trucks that they can use to check out the health of their gear boxes and their drive trains and their generators. How [00:24:00] do they do that? Where do they go? Where, where’s, what’s- Well- … the first place they should look for?  Howard Penrose: Uh, info@motordoc.com. Okay. I get all, I get all of those as well, so do my people. Um, or, uh, LinkedIn. LinkedIn’s really good.  Allen Hall: Look up anything. Yeah.  Howard Penrose: Yeah, yeah. So, so either the company at Motordoc, or, uh, I’m, I sh- I’ll show up either searching for my name or, uh, linkedin.com/in/motordoc. Come straight to me ’cause I’ve been in, on LinkedIn forever, so- Right, just- … I got to do that … look up  Allen Hall: Howard Penrose, P-E-N-R-O-S-E. Yep. Or go to motordoc.com is- Yep, motordoc.com … the website address.  Howard Penrose: Yep. There’s a lot of great information there. And we have partners, and we have people. We’re growing the company. You know, talk to me. I, I’ll- Yes … I like answering the phone and talking. It’s, it’s a thing. My people go, “Can we answer the phone one?” No. Um, but, but yeah, we, we, y- when you call us, you’re not just dealing with a single person. Right. The Motordoc is far more expansive. Right now, we [00:25:00] just got our partnership with, uh, Hitachi and, and Juliet- Yeah, that’s great and stuff like that. Uh, we’re helping them with certain things. Uh, we’re partnered with some of the big OEMs, almost all of them, um, you know, helping identify the issues, you know. And, and when users contact us, often they’ll tell us what’s going on, and we’ll, we can, uh, sometimes say, “Yeah, it’s this, and here’s how we prove it.” Allen Hall: Yeah. That’s the, that’s the beauty- Yeah … of calling Motordoc. So I need my operators that, that watch the show- Yeah … worldwide, go online, go on LinkedIn, get ahold of Howard, get ahold of Motordoc, and get started. Yep. Howard, thank you- And- … so much for being on the podcast. Yeah. This is fantastic.

In this episode she breaks down the real signs of a spiritual awakening, not as a lightning-bolt moment, but as a set of skills anyone can develop, and why so many of us feel it and then talk ourselves out of it before it goes anywhere.The conversation goes to some genuinely unexpected places... a childhood spent fighting spirit children for her own bedcovers, a house she walked away from because of what she felt in one room, and a personal connection to one of the most famous and controversial mediums in British history.Karen also opens up about a discovery she stumbled into by accident, the ability to connect with people who are still alive but living with dementia, and what that reveals about where the mind ends and the soul begins.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeThe real signs of a spiritual awakening, and why Karen says it isn't reserved for mysticsHow to tell the difference between genuine intuition and simple fear, in your own body, in real timeThe true story behind Britain's most famous "fraudulent" medium, and how Karen ended up personally connected to her without knowing it for yearsWhat actually happens in the room when energy feels "off," and how to tell whether you're picking up something real or generating it yourselfThe accidental discovery that changed how Karen thinks about dementia, memory, and the soulA simple daily practice for hearing your own intuition, described as your "inner sat nav"Listen or watch the full conversation now, and if this episode gave you something to sit with, share it with someone who needs to hear it too.Connect with Karen DochertyWebsite: karendocherty.comInstagram: @karendochertyspiritmediumFacebook: @mediumkarendochertyTikTok: @karendochertymediumThe Skeptic Metaphysicians is a spiritual awakening podcast for open-minded thinkers who refuse to check their critical thinking at the door.

Have you ever said, “I don't know what to do,” and then spent days, weeks, or even years asking everyone else what they think? Sometimes you genuinely don't know. But sometimes you do know something - and what you're actually struggling with is the uncertainty, fear, or other people's reactions that might come with honoring it. In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, I'm sharing one of my own experiences of knowing what I wanted long before I trusted myself enough to fully choose it. We'll also talk about why this can be especially complicated for empaths, who are often taking in everyone else's feelings, preferences, and reactions alongside their own. You'll learn how to distinguish between “I don't know what to do” and “I know, but taking action feels hard,” why discomfort doesn't automatically mean you're making the wrong decision, and a simple practice for separating what you know from what you're afraid of. Because someone else's feelings can be real without becoming instructions for your life. In this episode: Why “I don't know” can mean several very different things How Brenda's own career change challenged her self-trust Why empaths can confuse other people's reactions with information about what they should do The difference between nervous-system activation and intuition Why the “right” decision doesn't necessarily feel easy How information-seeking can keep us from acting A simple two-column practice for separating knowing from fear Join me for Yes to Me If there's a decision, boundary, relationship, opportunity, change, or desire you've been circling, bring it to Yes to Me on September 15 from 6–8 PM Pacific. You don't need to arrive knowing the answer. Come fully in the wobble.

I have something SO amazing for you. Our mineral-heavy water started impacting my skin the moment we moved, and I had never experienced eczema or skin issues in my life. Hard water can strip natural oils, disrupt the microbiome, and weaken the skin barrier — leaving you inflamed, reactive, and stuck in flare-ups. That's exactly what happened to my neck, and within almost two weeks of using Herbal Face Food, my eczema is almost gone. This stuff is legit — and I only share my favorite things that actually work. Their formulas are made with ultra-potent, organic, whole-plant botanicals rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, and phytonutrients that calm inflammation, rebuild the skin barrier, and fight visible signs of aging instead of masking symptoms. The Cure is their most targeted antioxidant treatment designed to visibly improve stubborn concerns like eczema, melasma, rosacea, scarring, sun damage, and deeper signs of aging. The Cream is a deeply hydrating, ultra-potent botanical moisturizer that firms, smooths, strengthens the skin barrier, and helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. The Soap gently cleanses without stripping, using powerful plant concentrates to protect, nourish, and support healthy, youthful-looking skin on both the face and body.

You know when your energy changes. So why is it sometimes so damn hard to do something about it? For empaths, the problem often isn't recognizing that a person, conversation, or situation is depleting us. We notice. And then we override what we noticed. In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, Brenda explores why protecting your energy can feel much harder than simply “setting better boundaries.” She shares what happened when a client became so depleted she experienced what Brenda calls energy sickness, how to begin recognizing your own physical signals of depletion, and why hydration, protein, and energetic hygiene matter. Brenda also shares a recent conversation with her mom that uncovered an old belief hiding underneath her own difficulty with boundaries: setting a boundary could mean burning a bridge. Then there's the phone call. Brenda knew her energy was changing. The call dropped three separate times. She kept reconnecting. Shortly afterward, she went into a TikTok Live that performed at roughly 25% of what she'd become accustomed to seeing. Was the conversation responsible? There's no way to know for certain. But Brenda knew she had ignored what her body was telling her—and it raised a much bigger question: What is it costing you when you do the same? This episode will help you notice where your energy is changing, understand why protecting it can feel threatening, and take responsibility for something you actually CAN control: Who gets continued access to you. ✨ Download Brenda's free Energy Audit: https://www.brendawinkle.com/audit ✨ The Empowered Empath Collective is currently exploring intuition and learning to recognize your own internal signals: https://www.brendawinkle.com/membership ✨ Enrollment for POWER: Self-Trust for Empaths opens in September.

THE HIDDEN STRUGGLES OF BEING AN EMPATH — the gift that quietly drains you.If you walk into a room and instantly feel the tension, absorb everyone'smood, feel emotionally hungover after being around chaos, and lose yourselftrying to hold everyone else's emotions — this one is for you. Being an empathis beautiful. But without boundaries, it becomes self-abandonment.In Episode 324 of Secret Life Podcast, Brianne Davis breaks down what being anempath actually is, why it exhausts you, why difficult people are drawn to you,and how to stop absorbing everyone else's energy so you can come back home toyourself.In this episode:— What emotional fusion is — the difference between caring about someone's emotions and becoming entangled with them— Why difficult people unconsciously search for "emotional managers" — and why empaths see potential instead of patterns (that's The Fantasy Loop™)— The line that changes lives: understanding someone's pain does not require tolerating their behavior— Why empaths burn out — carrying 10 other people's emotional states your body was never meant to hold— How to heal: witness without absorbing, set boundaries that protect not punish, and reconnect to yourself — because being needed is not the same as being lovedChaos is not connection. Intensity is not intimacy. Suffering is not love.Sensitivity is not a weakness — but being sensitive without boundaries issuffering. You can stay soft and still protect your peace.Resources at secretlifepodcast.comTake the Fantasy Loop Quiz: quiz.thefantasyloop.comShare your secret: secretlifepodcast@icloud.com

Why do so many gifted healers and coaches feel exhausted even when they're doing everything "right"? In this episode of Break Free From the Burnout, Dr. Anastasia Chopelas sits down with psychic medium and soul healer Sunshine Witchski, known as the pink-haired sober witch, to talk about the hidden addiction to constant doing and what it costs highly sensitive, empathic practitioners.Sunshine shares how her own recovery from alcohol and workaholism revealed a pattern she now sees in client after client: busyness used to avoid feeling, to numb disconnection from spirit, and to mask people-pleasing born from empathic overwhelm. She and Anastasia talk about why shadow work, not forced positivity, is what actually restores energy, and how grief for who we used to be is part of rebuilding a stable identity after burnout.If you recognize yourself in the overworking, the masking, or the quiet sense that something unseen is holding you back, this conversation offers real ground to stand on.

Episode: Confessions of an Empath: Whose Weight Are You Carrying?   Have you ever felt a heaviness in your belly that you couldn't explain? A dense knot of anxiety, urgency, or sadness that seemed to come out of nowhere — and because you felt it in your own body, you assumed it was yours? For years, that was my reality. It wasn't until I began studying Reiki and the subtle energy body that I discovered the truth: that heaviness didn't start with me. I was an empath — and I had been absorbing the emotional weight of everyone around me. In this episode, I share my confession. I talk about what it means to be an empath, why so many of us hold other people's energy in the solar plexus, and how that accumulated weight can lead to coping patterns like emotional eating, numbing out, and overgiving. I also explore one of the most important distinctions I have ever learned: the difference between rescuing and loving, and how a boundary is not a wall — it is a loving line between what is yours to feel and what belongs to someone else. This episode is part of our summer series, Confessions of a Shapeshifter: A Summer Journey Back to Yourself.   In This Episode We explore what it truly means to be an empath and why sensitive souls absorb the emotions of others into the solar plexus — the body's center of power and intuition. We look at how that absorbed energy can lead to coping patterns and how learning to distinguish your energy from others' is the first step to reclaiming your inner knowing. We also move through a guided GAP Tapping™ sequence to help you ask the deeper question — Is this heaviness actually mine? — and a full Reiki meditation to release what is not yours, reclaim your center, and return to your own natural resonance.   Guided Practice in This Episode GAP Tapping™ Sequence — Asking the Deeper Question Tap on the karate chop point and repeat: •Even though I feel all these emotions and energy, I love and accept myself. •Even though I feel this anxiety and I'm not sure it is mine, I love and accept myself. •Even though I feel everything — some is mine, but most of it isn't — I love and accept myself. Moving through the tapping points, ask yourself:   Is this heaviness actually mine? Whose energy am I holding right now? What if I release what does not belong to me? Reiki Meditation — Reclaiming Your Center   A guided visualization calling in golden-white Reiki light, releasing absorbed energy through the soles of the feet into the earth, and anchoring into your own center of power with the affirmations: I release all energy that is not mine.I send it back to the earth to be transformed, or back to its source with love.This belly is mine. This center is mine. I reclaim it now.I am safe in my own energy. I am clear. I am grounded. I am whole.   Resources Mentioned     Read the full summer series, including Post 5: The Empath's Confession, on Substack.

Have you ever wondered if you are an empath, a highly sensitive person, or both? I'm breaking down the difference between an empath and an HSP, which stands for highly sensitive person. I explain what empathy is, what makes someone an empath, and how empaths often absorb the emotions and energy of people, groups, and places. When we do not understand this about ourselves, it can lead to overwhelm, fatigue, anxiety, depression, mood swings, and the feeling that something is wrong with us when really, we are picking up on energy that may not even belong to us. I also share common traits of empaths, including sensitivity to light, sound, crowds, other people's emotions, nature, animals, and authenticity. Then, I explain how highly sensitive people are similar to empaths, but with one key difference: HSPs may sense and feel deeply, but they do not absorb other people's emotions in the same way an empath does. Key Takeaways Empathy is the ability to feel with another person, but being an empath takes this sensitivity to another level Empaths are deeply attuned to the energy and emotions of people, groups, and places Many empaths do not realize they are absorbing emotions that are not their own Unaware empaths may experience overwhelm, fatigue, anxiety, depression, or mood instability Empaths often feel deeply connected to nature and animals Crowds, noise, bright lights, television, news, and chaotic environments can feel overwhelming to an empath's nervous system People are often naturally drawn to empaths and may share deeply personal things with them Empaths can often sense when someone is being inauthentic or hiding behind a mask Alone time, or "cave time," helps empaths recharge Self-care, nature, grounding, boundaries, and micro moments of peace are essential for empaths Highly sensitive people and empaths share many traits, but HSPs do not absorb other people's emotions in the same way You can be both an empath and a highly sensitive person MORE MICHELLE CHALFANT Website: https://www.michellechalfant.com Membership: The Adult Chair® Collective https://www.michellechalfant.com/collective  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themichellechalfant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfant The Adult Chair® Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant

What does being an empath actually feel like in real life - before you regulate, process it, and turn it into a lesson? Welcome to the first podcast edition of Unfiltered Empath, a new series within Your Yes Filled Life where Brenda takes you behind the scenes of what it actually feels like to BE an empath. This first episode wasn't planned. After Brenda's Uncle Curt died, she noticed something happening in her body every time she connected with her cousins. She was grieving, too - but these tears felt different. In this deeply personal episode, Brenda shares the experience in real time: the FaceTime call that allowed her to say goodbye to her uncle, the physical differences she notices between her own grief and what she experiences empathically in connection with others, and why knowing herself well enough to recognize the difference allowed her to stay connected instead of isolating. Brenda explores: What grief can feel like in an empathic body Why feeling with someone is different from becoming responsible for their feelings The difference Brenda notices between her own tears and empathic tears Why empaths may isolate when they're afraid of making other people carry their emotions What Brenda means by being emotionally “clean” The importance of examining the motive underneath connection Why being “the strong one” or emotional regulator of the room isn't always helpful Tears, laughter, movement, dance, and other physical outlets Brenda uses Why emotional hygiene creates more freedom—not less—to feel deeply What you can expect from the new Unfiltered Empath series This isn't a how-to episode. There's no five-step process. And there's no tidy ending. It's an invitation to notice: What does being an empath actually feel like in YOUR body?

Lee Harris, channeler, author, and intuitive guide, reveals that we are living through a prophesized period of unprecedented upheaval—where the dismantling of our old world runs parallel to a massive rise in human consciousness. The cyclone of world change is touching every corner of existence, and within this chaos, our soul's true work is to reclaim spiritual, human, and ecological power that has been systematically siphoned from us.From predicting the intensification of global unrest to explaining why the second half of 2026 will be "a bit more wild," Lee channels the Z's—his spirit guides—to expose the hidden dynamics at play. While geopolitical tensions, climate events, and the rise of darker energies create the backdrop of exhaustion and overwhelm, a simultaneous awakening is occurring: more people are having mystical experiences, ET encounters, and visitations from angels and departed loved ones than ever before.We explore the 800-year cycles reshaping civilization, the delicate dance between personal power and systemic control, and why the empath-narcissist dynamic is the central healing arc of our time. Lee shares his personal journey through inherited wounds, the eight areas of mastery that lead to true enlightenment, and why the real battle isn't out there—it's in the subconscious patterns we've carried since childhood, magnified now by the intensity of a world in transition.Will you use this time of dismantling to excavate the hidden blocks that have been steering your life from the shadows, or will you wait until external collapse forces your hand?___

What becomes possible when you finally trust yourself? In this inspiring episode of Your Yes Filled Life, Brenda sits down with her client, Jill, to reflect on the transformation that's unfolded through years of coaching and Jill's experience inside POWER. When they first began working together, Jill felt stuck, heavy, and uncertain about her next chapter. Today, she's living a life that's deeply aligned with who she is, creating meaningful work through sound healing and making decisions with confidence. Together they explore: What it feels like to move from self-doubt to self-trust Why healthy boundaries strengthened Jill's relationships How becoming "a better friend" to herself changed everything The difference between performing and serving How sound healing supports healing and nervous-system regulation What Jill wishes she'd known before beginning this journey Whether you're longing to trust yourself more deeply, navigate a career transition, or stop abandoning your own needs, this conversation offers hope that lasting change is possible. ✨ Resources • Join the POWER Waitlist https://www.brendawinkle.com/power • Apply for Private Coaching https://www.brendawinkle.com/coaching • Connect with Jill and learn more about Purple Frog Vibrations & Healing Keywords: Self Trust, Personal Growth, Healing Journey, Authentic Living, Boundaries, Healthy Boundaries, Nervous System Regulation, Emotional Healing, Sound Healing, Self Compassion, Confidence, Life Coaching, Women Empowerment, Empath, Authenticity, Burnout Recovery, Music Teacher, Career Transition, Self Love, Personal Transformation, Intuition, Discernment, Your Yes Filled Life, Jill Perrin, Sound Healing

You can read every book, go to therapy, hire a coach, journal, meditate, practice breathwork, and become incredibly self-aware. But if you continue repeating the habits, choices, relationships, and environments that are producing the same result, insight will only take you so far. In this episode, Brenda shares the loving truth many accomplished, empathic women need to hear: at some point, growth stops being about what you understand and becomes about what you are willing to do differently. She explores the four stages of change - awareness, preparation, implementation, and integration - and explains why it is so easy to stay stuck in the first two. Awareness can feel productive. Research can feel like progress. But neither creates a new result until something changes in real life. You'll hear why nervous-system support is not only about helping you tolerate discomfort. It can also help you build the capacity to change the life you have. Brenda also shares personal stories about leaving an abusive marriage, building a business with support, becoming a beginner on the dance floor, and learning that meaningful change rarely happens through insight alone. In this episode: Why self-awareness and self-leadership are not the same How personal development can become a sophisticated form of avoidance Why your life responds to what you repeatedly do and allow How nervous-system regulation supports real-world action The difference between compassion for your pattern and continuing to protect it Why the next step does not need to be dramatic, but it does need to be real When POWER is the right next step When private coaching may be a better fit A pattern can be understandable and still be unsustainable. POWER is a year-long experience for women who are ready to move beyond insight and practice self-trust, discernment, nervous-system regulation, and aligned action in real life.

In this episode she breaks down empath energy protection into something you can actually practice, starting today, in your car in the parking lot.We talk about what an empath really is, why the world tells sensitive kids something is wrong with them, and how the same wiring that exhausts you is the thing that makes you good at the work you were called to do.Then we go into energy vampires. The predatory ones, the victim vampires, the situational ones any of us can become when life knocks us flat. Lisa also names the part most people skip: a depleted empath who never learned to say no often becomes the biggest drain in the room.What we cover:The difference between feeling empathy and being an empath, and why the distinction changes everythingThe three fundamentals of energy hygiene: grounding, clearing, and shieldingLisa's practice before walking into a big box store, and the version you can do in a restroom in ninety secondsWhy empaths are called into hospice, teaching, nursing, and coaching, and why those fields burn them outEnergy vampires: how they hook you, why they find you, and what to do about itThe resentment inventory, a simple exercise that shows you exactly where your boundaries have failedThe empath trap: saying yes because you cannot face the other person's reactionThe first question to ask when a strong feeling hits out of nowhere: is this mine?Refilling your tank with play, creativity, nature, and source instead of pulling from other peopleAbout Lisa CampionLisa Campion is a psychic, Reiki master, and the best-selling author of The Art of Psychic Reiki, Energy Healing for Empaths, Awakening Your Psychic Abilities, and The Psychic Awakening Journal.

What if your intuition has been trying to talk to you your entire life. and you just never learned how to listen? In this episode, we sit down with Dallisa Hocking, a 5th generation psychic medium, educator, and founder of Spirit & Spark, for a conversation that turns the entire psychic world on its head. Because unlike most people in her field, Dallisa is not here to tell you what's coming. Her whole mission is teaching you how to develop your own psychic abilities so you never have to outsource your inner knowing to anyone again. What she calls "inner literacy" ...the ability to trust your own perception, recognize patterns, and navigate life from within... is not a gift reserved for a lucky few. It is a practical, learnable skill. And in this episode, she shows you exactly how to start building it. We cover a lot of ground. Dallisa shares the overnight spiritual awakening in 2015 that flipped her life from dating coach to 5th generation psychic medium, why clairsentience may be the most common and most misunderstood psychic ability, how to raise your vibration in 30 days using nothing more than meditation and morning pages, the difference between genuine intuition and fear dressed up as a gut feeling, how to set psychic hygiene boundaries so spirit is not waking you up at 3am, what recurring dreams are really trying to tell you, and the premonition she posted to Instagram days before a fatal helicopter and airplane collision in Washington DC. She also takes live audience questions from around the world. and answers a few things for Will and Karen that had us both a little speechless. If you have ever been told you are too sensitive, struggled to trust your own inner guidance, or wondered whether your psychic abilities are real, this one was made for you. This episode is part of our ongoing exploration of consciousness, spiritual awakening, and the science of the unexplained. If you are new here, welcome. This is exactly what we do. 

Distinguishing Intuition vs Anxiety: Embodied Trauma Integration PracticesChristel Arcucci welcomes listeners to the Ecstatic Empath Show and explains an embodied soul purpose practice: learning to distinguish intuitive body wisdom from anxiety, the pain body, and trauma-based survival strategies. She frames the podcast on the assumption that every adult has experienced trauma, including both obvious events and seemingly small experiences that can leave imprints, and emphasizes that struggling with anxiety or depression does not mean you are broken. Through simple, low-stakes daily practices—choosing what to wear, what to eat, and whether to attend events—she teaches grounding with breath, present-moment awareness, and observing whether guidance feels loving, grounded, and clear or urgent, shaming, and fear-driven. She shares business training examples to illustrate FOMO-based wounding versus calm, firm intuition, offers journaling prompts.HYPNOSIS RECODE: If you're ready to consciously install a new operating system a Hypnosis Recode session is designed to Delete the default program, stop pouring energy into the life you've outgrown, and start living on your own terms. Book your session at https://www.empathrecode.com00:00 Intuition vs Anxiety00:12 Show Welcome01:20 Trauma and Pain Body04:26 Closet Choice Practice09:27 Eating Intuition Practice10:40 Events Fear vs Wisdom12:30 FOMO Training Story15:51 Rebuild Trust Practice18:40 Journal Prompts Guide19:47 Signs of Wisdom21:26 Daily Practice Invitation22:22 Closing and Recode OfferQuestions?

Episode 3050: Judith Orloff, MD explains that emotional triggers are often rooted in old fears and false beliefs rather than reality, and that healing them can help highly sensitive people and empaths stop absorbing other people's emotional pain. Through self-awareness, journaling, reframing negative beliefs, and seeking support, she offers practical ways to build emotional resilience and reclaim a stronger sense of self. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://highlysensitiverefuge.com/highly-sensitive-people-empaths-heal-emotional-triggers/ Quotes to ponder: "Your emotional triggers are wounds that need to heal. These beliefs are based on fears, and they are not reality." "Empaths and HSPs are finely tuned instruments when it comes to emotions. They feel everything, sometimes to an extreme, and are less apt to intellectualize feelings." "Healing your triggers is liberating because you won't be thrown off or drained by people's inappropriate comments."

Send us Fan MailYou leave a family dinner, a work meeting, or even a fun night out and nothing “went wrong” but your body feels wrecked. If you've ever needed a day or two to recover from normal social time, I'm unpacking what may actually be happening beneath the surface: your nervous system might be processing other people's emotional states as if they were your own. That's not weakness, and it's not just “being an introvert.” I connect the dots between mirror neurons (the brain's empathy wiring) and nervous system co-regulation, the biological way humans attune to each other. For many empaths and highly sensitive people, those systems can be more activated and more permeable, which means anxiety, grief, stress, and unspoken tension can hit your body like it belongs to you. We also draw a clear line between emotional boundaries (what you allow in your space) and energetic boundaries (what you allow into your nervous system), plus how an Akashic Records perspective can frame sensitivity as an intentional gift that needs structure. You'll walk away with a simple five-minute reset for after any draining social situation: shake your body, take three slow deep breaths, then ask, “What in this feeling is actually mine?” If you're ready to stop carrying the room home with you, listen now, share this with a sensitive friend, and subscribe so you don't miss the next quick tip.

Are you carrying emotional burdens that were never yours to hold? Have you ever wondered if your ancestors and loved ones in Spirit are helping guide you through life's most difficult challenges? In this moving episode of Radio Medium, psychic medium Laura Lee connects with Whitley from California for a powerful psychic reading filled with ancestral wisdom, spirit messages, and healing guidance. During this evidential mediumship session, Whitley's grandmother steps forward to express gratitude for the love, care, and devotion she provided during her final days. Spirit acknowledges the emotional weight Whitley has been carrying as the primary support system for her parents while navigating family struggles involving depression, addiction concerns, divorce, and custody challenges. Through compassionate spiritual guidance, Laura reveals how Spirit is encouraging Whitley to establish healthy energetic boundaries, trust her intuition, and release responsibilities that do not belong to her.This inspiring intuitive reading offers hope for empaths, caregivers, and anyone feeling overwhelmed by family obligations or emotional exhaustion. With messages about ancestral protection, spiritual healing, career opportunities, and new beginnings, this episode serves as a powerful reminder that Spirit walks beside us through every transitionand that we are never alone on our healing journey.
