What is We Rise?
We Rise is not just a conference- it's a catalyst.
A transformational room for women ready to stop playing small and start showing up fully.
For three powerful days, you'll be surrounded by a community of bold, heart-led business owners who are tired of spinning their wheels and ready for what's next.
This isn't hype.
It's not fluff.
It's where clarity meets confidence - and strategy meets sisterhood.
Through immersive sessions, honest conversations, and real breakthroughs, you'll:
- Gain tactical, real-world strategies to grow your business and brand.
- Get clear on your next step - and stop second-guessing every move.
- Build resilience and confidence to show up boldly in your work.
- Rebuild your confidence, resilience, and voice
- Expand your network with women who will become your biggest advocates and supporters
Because here's the truth:
You've been in business long enough to know you have something that can be great, but what got you here won't get you where you're going next.
It's time to rise above the noise, the fear, the burnout, the doubt - and step fully into the business (and life) you're meant for.
Rise Above the Doubts. The Burnout. The Limits.
What if every day felt aligned, intentional - and filled with the kind of clarity that propels you forward?
Imagine this:
You trust your voice.
You believe in your vision.
You're no longer asking for permission to show up fully.
At We Rise: Rise Above, you'll step into a space designed to stretch you, anchor you, and elevate you beyond what you ever thought possible.
Here's what we're rising above:
The Self-Doubt. You already have what it takes. This is about claiming it.
The Burnout. Learn how to build success that fuels you, not drains you.
The Noise. Cut through distraction. Align your actions with your purpose.
The limits. Whether they were placed on you by others-or by yourself-it's time to break free.
This isn't surface-level inspiration.
This is your moment to rise with strategy, community, and unwavering clarity.
You're not just attending a conference.
You're stepping into the next version of yourself.
This is your moment. Let's rise.
When you're done surviving, you start rising.

The Speakers
Meet the Women Who Will Challenge You to Rise.
The Rise Above Conference bring together a powerhouse lineup of founders, trailblazers, and heart-led leaders - each with a story of rising through resistance and building something real. These women aren't just inspiring - they're strategic, experienced, and in it with you.
From mindset breakthroughs to tactical growth plans, every session is designed to help you shift from stuck to unstoppable.
Whether you are scaling a team, navigating burnout, redefining your brand, or figuring out what your next level is - there's a woman on this stage who's walked that road.
And she's holding out her hand so you don't have to do it alone.
This is more than a Conference- It's a Becoming
Running a business can feel lonely - especially when you're leading with heart. You've got the vision, the grit, and the fire, but even the strongest leaders hit moments where they question everything.
This is where that shifts.
Welcome to a space built for ambitious women who are ready to stop shrinking stop second-guessing, and rise above everything that's been holding them back.
Imagine this...
- Walking into a room full of women who get it- the weight, the doubt, the dream- and are here to see you win.
- Leaving with clear clarity and a clear plan, not just another notebook full of scribbles.
- Feeling seen, supported, and surrounded by a community that believes in you - especially on the days you struggle to believe in yourself.
This is more than motivation.
It's the momentum you've been craving.
A Community Like No Other
This isn't a place where you stay in the audience. This is a room that changes you. Here's what sets We Rise apart.
Powerful Keynote & Workshop Hybrids - You'll hear from women who've walked through fire - business strategists, mindset coaches, and leaders who've faced the hard stuff and risen anyway. They're not just sharing stories... they're sharing tools.
Hands-On Strategy Sessions- You won't leave with vague ideas. You'll dig into your goals with guided exercises, real-time feedback, and actionable breakthroughs you can take home and implement.
Genuine Connection & Networking- Forget small talk and surface - level networking. This is where collaborations start, friendships form, and you meet the women who will become your biggest supporters- even after the conference ends.

A Letter From Your Host
Hello Beautiful Soul,
I see you.
You're building something real- something that matters.
You carry big dreams, bold ideas, and a fire that refuses to burn out, even when life tries to dim the light.
But let's be honest - carrying that vision alone? It gets heavy.
The pressure. The self-doubt. The quiet ache of wondering if you're the only one trying to hold it all together.
I know that feeling because I've lived it.
For years, I told myself I wasn't ready.
That I needed more credentials, more clarity, more confidence - something- before I could truly show up.
So I stayed quiet
I shrunk.
I waited.
Until one day, I realized:
You don't have to wait to rise.
You don't need anyone's permission.
And you're far more ready than you think.
That's why I created We Rise.
Not just a conference - a catalyst.
A room full of women who see you.
Who get it.
Who are also walking through fear, doubt, pivots, grief, change - and choosing to rise anyway.
At We Rise: Rise Above, you will experience::
-
The clarity to define what success on your terms.
-
The confidence to show up fully and unapologetically.
-
The strategies to turn your ideas into momentum
-
The community that will remind you: You are never in this alone.
This is more than a business event. It's a turning point.
A homecoming.
A room built for the woman who's tired of shrinking, tired of waiting, and ready to rise above everything that's been holding her back.
If you've been waiting for a sign, this is it.
If you've been looking for a place where you truly belong, this is it.
If you're ready to stop playing small and start rising above every doubt, fear, and limitation - this is it.
I can't wait to welcome you into this space, to witness your rise, to celebrate your power, and to remind you how unstoppable you already are.
Here's to rising higher-together.
With love and deep belief in you,
Cori Maag
Founder & Host, We Rise Collective
The women who rise are the ones who choose to. What are you waiting for?
Will you join us?
