The UpLevel Podcast
Conscious leaders create conscious cultures.
The UpLevel Podcast is a transformational resource for leaders, coaches, and people managers who are ready to lead with greater presence, purpose, and humanity.
With 85% of employees disengaged at work and mental health challenges
costing organizations thousands per employee each year, the demand
for emotionally intelligent, trauma-aware, and consciously coached leadership
has never been more urgent.
Each episode explores what it truly means to uplevel within ourselves, our organizations, and the systems we move through. Themes include emotional embodiment, grief, right relationship coaching culture, and the ROI of investing in human well-being.
Named one of the web’s Top 10 Coaching Culture Podcasts and a Top 50 Best Workplace Mental Health Podcast by Feedspot, the show is a core part of UpLevel’s mission to build a more conscious, compassionate, and humane world by making deep, healing, and actionable conversations accessible to all.
Hosted by Christie Mann, certified coach, author, and co-founder of UpLevel,
the podcast invites you not just to do better, but to be better.
