Permission to Rise
Permission to Rise is a powerful podcast for women who are ready to find their voice, rise up, and step fully into their highest potential. Through honest conversations, personal reflection, and hard-won wisdom, host Chelsey Mauris shares her 30+ year journey of becoming the woman she is today—along with how she continues to choose herself, show up authentically, and rise even when it’s uncomfortable.
Each episode of Permission to Rise is an invitation to explore empowerment, authenticity, healing, and self-forgiveness. This podcast is for women who feel unheard, stuck, or disconnected from their true selves—and who are ready to give themselves permission to live fully and unapologetically. You can expect real stories, meaningful insights, and practical encouragement that help you heal, reclaim your voice, and move forward in a way that feels aligned and true.
If you’re longing to rise up, release what no longer serves you, and live with deeper purpose and confidence, this podcast will remind you that you already have everything you need—simply give yourself permission to rise.
