Beyond thankful for Chris and Ascent Empowerment I am beyond thankful I met Chris and joined Ascent Empowerment. The results exceeded all expectations. I went from stress literally sending me to the ER, my doctor telling me it might kill me, and this fading just wanting to survive feeling to the complete opposite. Now I radiate positivity, I wake up excited for the day ahead, I’m back to crushing it at work, I’m back to crushing it at home. What I learned and the work I put in through Ascent Empowerment stopped my spiral, got me back to my best self, and then even leveled me up from there. If Chris thinks he can help you and you are ready to learn and put in the work, don’t even hesitate, sign up and do it.

I was really stuck in a rut where I… I was really stuck in a rut where I didn't know what to do. I was going through a really tough transition in life. Young kid and career change happened all at once. I felt trapped in a way that I had never experienced before and couldn't see a way out. Chris's approach was incremental weekly challenges and he held me accountable. That's what I needed: The strategies and tactics to dig down and find my best self and allow him to come to the surface and dominate. He also helped me deal with issues that had been a problem as long as I could remember, he gave them names and ways to deal with them. I could see results immediately. Now I have a new job that I never thought I would be able to get and my home life is so much better. With the methods of dealing with my stress that Chris taught me I don't have to pass that stress on to my family. I continue to grow and heal with his teachings and I will always be grateful. I had tried therapy and read a lot of books, but Chris's program was the one thing that got me out of the rut. I hope others can do this and find the same success I did.

Follow up review as my first was pulled down. My initial review written some time back was taken down for unknown reasons. I'm writing it again having spent time in the “boot camp” and “momentum accelerator”. 1st, I fully endorse the boot camp with associated modules/lessons and supporting content. Chris is a great facilitator and gives helpful insight as a coach should. There is an option to continue coaching after the 10 week program (momentum accelerator). This wasn't as valuable for me personally for a variety of reasons.

You've Got Nothing to Complain About...So Why Aren't You Happy I didn't quite understand how bad my state of unliving was until I started the Creating an Empowered Life program. Everything indicated that I "should" be on top of the world...great career, amazing family, lots of "friends", material possessions...but in reality, I was really struggling. When my hobbies were dormant and the music stopped, I was burnt out, unmotivated, lethargic, quick tempered, and utilizing my phone or the television to distract these realities each night in attempting to fall asleep. Fast forward as I am approaching completion, I can honestly say that I've only fallen asleep watching television 2 times in the past 2.5 months. And both mornings afterwards, I've woken up without judgement but in the mindset of acknowledgement and hyperawareness of how I feel mentally, physically, and emotionally. This presence creates a lasting motivation and energy to continue down the paths that I know will best serve me and the ones that I love around me. While this was my primary objective in joining the program, had I known all of the other "wins" I would find along the way, I would've probably paid more! But I am not here to say that everything is perfect and that all my problems are fixed because Chris can hire actors to say that. I am living proof that downturns will still happen and yucky feelings do creep back in, I just know that I don't have to stay there for extended periods of time and that I have the tools to get me back to feeling awesome again. Make the investment in yourself and take your life to it's full potential...the guidance is profound, the progression is well designed, the network is invaluable...you don't have to do it on your own!!

Invest in yourself! I started my journey with Chris in early 2022, when I felt like I was in a deep rut both in my career and personal life. Over the 10-week program, I learned so much about myself, what has been holding me back, and tools for becoming my true authentic self. Chris and Stephen really know how to ask the right questions on the one-on-one calls, and there is always a great group of men in the weekly group calls. There is such a diverse background among the men involved but we are all very much connected through this program. While my journey has only begun with the knowledge I have learned from Chris and Stephen, I hope to continue on this path in the future. I would also highly recommend attending the retreats they host. Being out in nature with a great group of guys working through their issues is extremely powerful and I will never forget that weekend.
