Empowered Living Institute


The Empowered Living Institute represents a beacon of hope and inspiration for individuals seeking personal development, self-empowerment, and transformative growth. We address the five areas of growth—mental, social, physical, emotional, and spiritual—through materials designed to guide, uplift, and transform. As an institution dedicated to fostering resilience, purpose, and authentic living, it serves as a nurturing space for you to embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.



Why Essays Matter in Your Growth Journey

At the heart of our work is the essay—a form that Dr. Lynn Borenius Brown, founder of the Empowered Living Institute, has chosen as her primary teaching tool. With more than 40 years of experience as a counselor and educator, Dr. Brown has guided thousands of individuals from healing to growth. She knows that people need clarity and brevity to absorb and apply insights in meaningful ways.

Essays are therefore central to our library (whether free-standing or part of a book or course). They are concise, clear, and deeply reflective, distilling complex ideas into manageable lessons that can be understood and practiced immediately. Each essay becomes a companion on your life path—a mirror for self-understanding, a bridge from knowledge to practice, and a gentle yet powerful nudge toward transformation.

  • Live by design, not by default
