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.

Stay tuned for Season 11 of The UpLevel Podcast, Stewardship: Being the Work.

• Embracing Conscious Beginnings and Completions
• Podcast Growth and Global Community Impact
• Season Overview: The Inquiry and Its Depth
• Honoring Season Guests and Their Wisdom

What does it actually look like to live and lead in right relationship?

In this final episode of season 10, The UpLevel Podcast brings together two leaders who have been deeply embedded in this work, both in conversation and in real-time practice.

Over the past 15 months, we’ve explored right relationship across industries, identities, and lived experiences. It only felt right to close this chapter with Carlo Bos and Heather Davidson, whose partnership with UpLevel has become a living example of what right relationship can look like at scale.

Carlo is a leadership development expert, executive coach, and former co-CEO of the Co-Active Training Institute, and Heather Davidson is an innovative learning and development leader and strategic problem solver with nearly two decades of experience across Google, Amazon, and GE.

We’ll explore what it means to lead from self-acceptance and courageous conviction while remaining open enough to be shaped by others. We look at how co-creation, trust, and shared purpose become the foundation for effective leadership—and how presence, mindset, and nervous system regulation influence every interaction.

As we close this season on right relationship, this conversation becomes both a reflection and a bridge. A reflection of what we’ve been exploring together and a bridge into what’s next. Listen now!

In this episode, we’ll explore:

• What right relationship looks like in real leadership practice
• Self-acceptance, conviction, and adaptability in leadership
• Co-creation as a driver of performance and culture
• Designing relationships within complex organizations
• Leadership in the age of artificial intelligence
• The role of mindset, presence, and nervous system regulation
• Navigating power, hierarchy, and disagreement
• Building trust and alignment at scale
• Stewardship and thinking in generations, not just outcomes
