The Elevated Life

Brittney + Chris Carmichael

Welcome to The Elevated Life® Podcast—where transformation meets truth. We're Brit and Chris Carmichael, and for over 20 years, we've been on an relentless mission to master the art of personal evolution. What started as our own journey out of self-sabotage, disconnection, and overwhelm has turned into a movement that's transformed thousands of lives worldwide. We've invested decades studying with top experts, dissecting ancient philosophy, and testing cutting-edge psychology—not just to learn it, but to live it. We've distilled everything that actually works into a powerful methodology that rewires your subconscious, breaks through fear, and aligns you with your soul's purpose—no matter what you've been through. Chris brings 25+ years of mastery in hypnosis, NLP, and psychology, having worked with CEOs, celebrities, and high-performance athletes. Brit has spent two decades as an intuitive mentor, vegan salon owner, luxury retreat leader, and the founder of Shine School®, guiding six and seven-figure entrepreneurs to reclaim their power and magnetism. Together, we deliver the real real—raw, unapologetic conversations on personal growth, spirituality, relationships, success, health, and mindfulness. We explore what most won't touch: sex, psychedelics, hypnosis, altered states, and the subconscious patterns that secretly run your life. This isn't surface-level inspiration. This is deep, lasting, soul-level transformation. So get comfy, open your mind, and prepare to step into the most powerful version of yourself. It's time to become the badass you were born to be.
