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,

What if life itself is a school of love?
This week on The UpLevel Podcast, we welcome Britta Eskey, author of Initiations in Love, co-founder of COR, and certified compassion cultivation teacher at Stanford. For over 25 years, Britta has guided individuals and communities through transformational work that reconnects us with our essential goodness and deepest values.

In This Episode:

- How Britta’s stoic German upbringing led to mystical experiences that shaped her faith in love
- How right relationship shows up in work, family, nature, and self
- The role of compassion and courage in leadership: vulnerability is key
- Why transformation often begins with surrender
- Discover how Britta’s workshops help people heal core wounds and find deeper integration between masculine and feminine energies
- Why falling in love might just be projection… but staying in love is discovery
