The UpLevel Podcast Season 10 Finale with Christie Mann

Summary:

What happens when you spend 15 months living inside one question?

In this Season 10 finale of The UpLevel Podcast, our host Christie Mann reflects on a journey of transformation—one that has unfolded through conversations touching every dimension of life: how we relate to ourselves, to each other, to leadership, to systems, to the land, and to lineage.

For the past 15 months, we’ve explored one central inquiry:

What does it mean to be in right relationship?

Across conversations with leaders, elders, innovators, and practitioners from around the world, this question has taken us into the depths of self-awareness, leadership, community, lineage, and our relationship with the planet.

In this closing episode, we honor the voices who shaped this season, from indigenous wisdom keepers and corporate leaders to coaches, artists, and innovators.

Right relationship asks us to be more present, more honest, and more responsible for how we show up in every interaction, every system, and every moment.

And it points us forward because right relationship doesn’t end here.

It leads to a deeper question: What are we here to care for? And that question opens the door to what’s next.
