RISE
Where Purpose Meets Power & Women Step into the Alpha Queen Era
8:30 AM – 5:30 PM
Beardmore Event Center
Event Guide & Agenda
Enter the Experience ↓Welcome, Queen.
If you're reading this, it means you answered the call to rise — not just in business, not just in leadership, but in who you are becoming.
RISE is not a conference. It is not a motivational event. It is a threshold moment.
Today is about shedding the identities, stories, and standards that no longer match the woman you know you're meant to be — and consciously stepping into the next frequency of your leadership, power, and self-trust.
This room is filled with women who are done playing small, done over-explaining their brilliance, and done dimming their fire to make others comfortable. You didn't come here by accident. You came because something in you is ready to move differently, decide differently, and lead differently.
Today, I invite you to:
- Be fully present
- Release comparison
- Let your guard down
- Allow yourself to receive
Not just information — but activation. You may feel challenged. You may feel seen. You may feel called forward in ways that feel unfamiliar. That is not a sign to pull back — it is a sign that something powerful is unfolding.
Rising doesn't happen in comfort. It happens in choice.
Choice to take radical responsibility.
Choice to embody and raise your standards.
Choice to trust yourself at the highest level.
As you move through today, notice what activates you — those moments are your invitations. This is not about becoming someone new. It's about remembering who you already are.
Welcome to Alpha Queen Era. The rise begins now.

Alpha Queens Rising
Manifesto
We rise by choice, not by permission.
We do not wait to be chosen.
We decide.
We are the women who lead ourselves first.
Who take radical responsibility for our lives, our energy, and our impact.
Who understand that discipline is not restriction — it is freedom.
We rise out of survival, scarcity, and self-betrayal.
Out of shrinking, over-explaining, and playing small.
Out of the stories that once kept us safe, but no longer serve us.
We rise into clarity. Into embodied power.
Into standards that match the magnitude of who we are.
We do not hustle for worthiness.
We do not perform for validation.
We move with intention, alignment, and self-trust.
We honor the work. We respect the process.
We embody the woman before the result arrives.
We lead with authenticity, courage, and conviction.
We trust our decisions. We back ourselves — fully.
We rise together.
In sisterhood, not comparison.
In elevation, not competition.
We are here to set a new standard.
To move culture. To create legacy.
This is the Alpha Queen Era.
This is embodied leadership.
This is the rise.

How to Get the Most Out of RISE
You didn't come here by accident.
You came to grow.
- Arrive on time and ready to expand, stretch, and elevate.
- Bring a notebook and pen — every keynote is packed with valuable lessons, resources, and actionable strategies to help you rise.
- Bring business cards or a QR code so women can easily connect with you.
- Engage boldly — introduce yourself, network intentionally, and start meaningful conversations.
- Come with an open mind, a big heart, and high-vibe energy.
Growth favors the woman who participates. Connection happens when you're present. Breakthroughs happen when you lean in.
Show up fully — the room will meet you there.

Alpha Queens Rising
Your story is not meant to stay silent.
The Alpha Queens Rising book exists for one reason: to amplify women's voices, stories, and leadership in a way that creates real-world impact.
This is more than a collection of stories. It is a declaration.
Each woman featured in this book chose to rise, through challenge, transformation, leadership, and purpose, and in doing so, created a ripple far beyond herself. These stories matter because representation matters. Truth matters. And when women share their lived experience, they give other women permission to rise sooner, stronger, and more sovereign.
Through Alpha Queen Collective®, this book has become a platform for courage, embodiment, and legacy, reaching women who are ready to lead, heal, build, and impact at the highest level.
And this is only the beginning.
We are now opening the door to feature more women in 2026, women who are ready to share their story, expand their influence, and impact millions through authentic leadership and truth-led expression.
If you feel the pull to share your story…
If you know your voice carries medicine…
If you are ready to rise beyond visibility and into legacy…

Meet the RI$E Mindset App
RISE isn't just an event. It's a way of thinking. A way of leading. A way of becoming.

Ways to Stay Connected
Stay Connected. Stay Elevated. Stay Rising.
RISE is not just a one-day experience — it's a movement. Growth doesn't happen in isolation. Confidence doesn't expand in a vacuum. And leadership doesn't evolve without community.
The women you surround yourself with will either stretch your vision — or shrink it. When you stay connected to women who think bigger, lead boldly, and speak life into your potential, everything changes.
Alpha Queens Rising — Free Community
Inside our free community, you'll find:
- Ongoing encouragement, training and empowerment
- Conversations around leadership, business, and personal growth
- Access to upcoming events and opportunities
- Women who get you — your ambition, your vision, your calling
You don't have to build alone. You were never meant to.

The rise doesn't end — it evolves.
Continues.
The Rise Continues
Rising is a choice. Not a moment. Not a mood. A decision you make — again and again.
