Creating an Empowered Life - What to Expect If you are reading this, it means that you are researching Ascent Empowerment, which also means that you are probably looking to make some changes in your life. GOOD FOR YOU! The purpose of this review is to provide some “data points” on the program so that you can make an informed decision. First off, the Creating an Empowered Life program is real. Chris and Steve are real, and the results are real. In my experience, Chris and Steve are 100% sincere in their desire to help men get the most out of life. Creating an Empowered Life is a web-based, 10-week program and that is pretty much self-paced. If you fall behind nobody gives you a hard time, but it’s important to keep up as best you can. It’s like a physical fitness program; the more you put into it, the more you will get out of it. To do it right, you can probably expect to spend 3-5 hours per week on the work. The consistent practice throughout the program is daily journaling of “wins” from the previous day along with weekly assignments. Most of the assignments consist of a video or reading on the concept(s) for the week, followed by a video of Chris doing a one-on-one coaching session with someone else to illustrate the concept(s) in the context of the program. After watching the videos, you will have specific tasks or practices to execute in pursuit of the growth concept. At the end of each week, you turn in your work along with a reflection of what it was like (difficulties, emotional responses, etc.) to complete the work. After a day or two, Chris sends recorded message via email with his assessment and feedback. There is relatively little personal coaching scheduled into the 10 weeks. To use the fitness analogy, it is like the difference between taking group class and working with a personal trainer; the coaches (Chris and Steve) are available to provide encouragement and answer questions, but the workout is the same for everyone. All participants in the program are encouraged to join a weekly, one hour Zoom call. There is also a private Facebook group for sharing and discussions. The cost of the program is not insignificant (at least for me). I think it is important to understand this from the start, because the Breakthrough Call is also a sales call, and Chris is a hard-closer. If you have a spouse or partner that you share finances with, my recommendation would be to speak with them about the potential investment before your Breakthrough Call, and be prepared to make your decision when you take the call. In retrospect, Creating an Empowered Life was a positive experience for me. The one thing I learned for certain is that the change I was seeking was already inside me. The program helped me tap into a new awareness of being. I have since begun a mindfulnesses meditation practice, which is something I probably would have scoffed at before working with Chris and Steve. I still have the same struggles, but they no longer hold the same power over my emotions. As you will learn early in the 10 weeks, “suffering is optional.” I hope this review was helpful. Best of luck in your journey!

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 GET TO.... I was a mess, a functional train wreck if a train wreck is even functional? Drinking too much to escape, overweight by 30+ pounds, relationship problems, and worst of all wracked with internal chaos, overwhelm, hopelessness, anxiety, and scared to return to my chosen field of work. I left hospital nursing due to anxiety attacks, feeling suffocated under the pressure. I took a leave of absence and during this time found Ascent Empowerment and took a leap of faith and never looked back. Chris and Stephen, have been so incredibly attentive, caring, and insightful. I wanted to reclaim my sense of vitality in all areas, and after ten weeks I found my way back to connecting in with what is awesome about my job. I had lost 25 pounds reclaiming my sense of vitality! My partner jumped on board with reclaiming vitality and also lost 25 pounds! I’ve cut back on alcohol 90%, and it is no longer such a seductive habit. I’m sleeping better. And best of all I am feeling again like the guy my partner fell in love with! Feeling gratitude for my past struggles may sound strange, but there is a new found conviction that has been born within me, knowing that I can handle whatever life throws my way, and all these challenges in the end were for my greater good. There is a joy and a refreshing lightness in my spirit from the fire of my youth that I am getting to re-welcome back home. My best advice is if you have doubts, ask if you have felt enough is enough? I was so fed up with where I was not going. If that’s you, then invest in you, dive right in, get passionate about your growth, and get excited to rediscover your possibilities. Best investment ever into me and my family!

Since I started working with Chris my… Since I started working with Chris my self awareness and self confidence has went from a 2 to a10. Working with Chris has allowed me to triple my income due to my increased self confidence. I still use the tools that I learned from Chris on a daily basis and hiring him was the best investment that I have ever made.
