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.

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!

Help towards self acceptance, flourishing and producing more Chris has helped me understand and break through and out of a period of being stuck in my life. He's helping me set a platform that will allow me to flourish and be very productive in the next few years. Chris is helping me towards healing, self-acceptance, flourishing and producing. I've thoroughly enjoyed working with Chris and can recommend him for his warmth, concern, and capability to help people move out of the mire of problems and towards flow and flourishing in their lives. He's particularly aiming his work at professional men- who are often left in that mixture of outward professional success, but not necessarily with internal acceptance and appreciation. I can recommend Chris to professional colleagues who need to get out of a rut.

Profoundly Helpful Before Ascent, I had been feeling meh and overwhelmed about work and life for about 10 years. I had a good tech job but was so worn out by it that I wanted to quit and just do landscaping and live a more simple life outside. Since Ascent though, I am able to find joy in my work, even though it is still challenging, and best of all I don't feel overwhelmed and worn out in my life anymore really, so I am working better AND just enjoying my life more. Enjoying life more is the best feeling and I feel more creative, more fun, and my relationship has improved a lot as well. It's honestly hard to believe how much it has helped!

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.
