Created and led by expert women’s leadership coach, bestselling author and keynote speaker, Amy Ahlers, Uprising unleashes the potential of high-achieving and high-talent women, empowering them to confidently bring their best selves forward to create greater impact, possibility and contribution.

An uprising is happening...can you feel it?

An uprising is happening...
can you feel it?

Inside of you, there is an uprising. Your voice of truth, your Inner Wisdom, is ready to rise like never before and take her rightful seat at the helm of your life.

And collectively there is an uprising too. Women are smashing glass ceilings and rising to new levels of success.

And yet...toxic masculinity abounds.

Aren't you sick and tired of the good ole' boys club running the show?

It’s time to get real about the toll that forcing ourselves to conform to the rules set forth by men is doing to us as women both personally and collectively. 

On the personal level, if you are like so many of my high-achieving clients, friends and colleagues, you are tired, really tired, exhausted even. 

Physically.  

Mentally. 

Emotionally. 

Spiritually.

And no doubt, you are a genius at rallying to the task or challenge at hand, at home and at work. 

Hello working from home, endless zooms, managing distance learning for the kids, and the unpaid labor (dishes, laundry, grocery shopping) of home life. It's enough to make you feel like a juggler gone mad!

And let's face it, you can’t make the contribution that you long to make, that you know you CAN MAKE… if you’re so damn exhausted by “playing the game,” by trying to figure out how to force yourself into a box of rules designed to keep you small and juggling as fast as you can. 

You are so careful to… 

Be collaborative so you don’t take too much credit (or any credit).

Pull back and let them think it’s their idea, so you don’t step on any toes.

Be seen as non-threatening, smiling and polite, rather than the powerhouse you really are.

So, you adjust, adjust, and adjust some more. How long can you keep adjusting until there is no more “you” to adjust? 

I am here to stand with you and declare that enough is enough. Because now is your time to rise into your own personal power and, yes, into your authentic ambition so that you can realize the full capacity of your potential and achieve success on your terms once and for all.

Here's the secret paradox that powerful women face; on one hand, you know you're brilliant, worthy and ready, but on the other hand you feel like a fraud, second-guessing yourself and feel like you're not good enough.

Sound familiar?

How can it be that we simultaneously feel like a badass AND feel so inadequate?

I've spent the last 20+ years investigating this phenomenon as a coach, speaker, bestselling author, woman and mom. I've created proven tools to overcome this paralyzing paradox, helping women say YES to the internal and external uprising calling them forth into their greatness.

Here's the truth; regardless of how successful you've been, you're likely incredibly hard on yourself. You may experience some of the following things, like many of the tens of thousands of women I've worked with over the years:

  • imposter syndrome, feeling like a fraud as you reach new heights
  • beating yourself up for the tiniest imperfections
  • setting unrealistic expectations
  • feeling like you never measure up
  • slumping into 'compare and despair'
  • always trying to prove yourself
  • letting others take credit for your hard work
  • feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and burned out

I want you to know, it's not your fault you feel this way...

These scenarios are created by the patriarchal power structures in place.

You've been trying to win a man's game. And it sets you up to fail. Every. Single. Time.

We are calling for an uprising to break free of this game and these toxic rules, which are set in place by structures that no longer serve you, or serve the world.

Let's create a new game, where women, and all oppressed groups, can win!

The patriarchal systems, the oppressive systems, have been set up for women, and all disenfranchised groups, to question their worth and demand perfection so we never feel enough.

Now is the time for us to create our OWN systems to support us. We need to challenge our assumptions. We need to play a game we can actually win. That's exactly what Uprising will help you to do.

Uprising is a women's leadership incubator designed to call forth the greatest uprising that you have ever created in your life. What if 2021 was THE YEAR that changed everything?

The World Is Changing… But How It Will Change Is Uncertain

The world is going through a period of massive destabilization and change across all fronts - cultural, socio-economic, political, environmental. Humanity is in the middle of a rebirthing process, and like all births, the process is messy and the outcome is not guaranteed. 

What is certain is that the patriarchal structures that have dominated virtually every culture on earth for millennia are not going to be able to carry us forward. They are literally and figuratively crumbling. We can choose to be a bystander to the process, or we can choose to consciously and actively lead to a more just, equitable and secure future for all.  

And, women are leading. We are smashing glass ceilings and have earned a seat at the table in corporate boardrooms, we are making our voices heard in positions of influence and in political office, yes, even as high as the United States Vice Presidency (YES, KAMALA HARRIS!). 

Women are rising into leadership like never before, and yet, we are still shockingly under-represented, and far too often, we are trying to lead by the rules set by the patriarchal overlay, and within a pervasive environment of toxic masculinity in which men refer to us as, “kiddo,” and do their damndest to diminish our accomplishments both publicly and in private. 

Enough, really is, enough.

A note from Uprising founder, Amy Ahlers...

Dear Powerful Woman,

It was election night 2016, and I remember watching in horror as the result became clear. I was at a party with my husband and two children, expecting to celebrate the first woman being elected President of the United States. Instead, I found myself consoling my then 9 year old, sobbing uncontrollably, asking why anyone would vote for a man that said words like, "grab them by the pussy." 

I felt her heartache, yet I had no words of comfort or wisdom I could offer. I had only my own burning question: how could this have happened?

Just a few months later, I broke down in tears of disgust at the Kavanaugh hearings, as a vile womanizer and predator was sworn in as a member of our Supreme Court and with the support of key female members of the Senate!  Then witnessing the murder of more unarmed black folks at the hands of police, like George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, seeing children separated from their families and put in cages at the border, and white supremacists marching in the streets and storming the capital holding their heads high...It was all too much to bear.

I felt like I was in a hole of despair and exasperated rage, and I was completely exhausted - physically, mentally and emotionally. The work that was needed just felt overwhelming. 

It's cliché but true, “it's always darkest before the dawn.” I began pondering what I can do to be of service to such a broken world...especially as a white privileged woman. 

Enough with smiling through gritted teeth and excusing bad behavior. It was time for me to take a stand, dismantle my own internalized patriarchy and rise to a new level of leadership.  

I began looking at my work through a new lens and educating myself even more in anti-racism work and a new brand of inclusive feminism. I realized that my decades of work coaching women to overcome their inner mean girl, plus my personal experiences as a woman, mother, business owner and speaker, wife and sister, friend and community member have all been pointing me towards supporting women as agents of social change and as activists.

Uprising is the culmination of the best of the best methods, tools, processes, and teachings that I've garnered in my 20+ years on the frontlines of personal development. The purpose of Uprising is to help you get out of your own way so that together, we can create a world that honors and respects our daughters' intelligence and our sons' emotional capacity; a world in which there is opportunity for all no matter a person's race, nationality, spiritual beliefs, sexual orientation or any other culturally imposed limitation.  

If you share this vision, I invite you to apply to become a member of the next cohort of badass women who are ready to rise up and lead like never before. 

With love and eternal hope,

The Investment

The Investment

The Uprising Women’s Leadership Incubator is a program for professional women seeking tools, mentorship and aligned community in order to make a substantial contribution to the world and to achieve significant success across all aspects of their lives. It is not a program for building your list or casual learning. This is about a breakthrough.

You know who you are, and you know what is on your heart to achieve; you know the change you want to be in the world. You also know that you want to achieve success as a woman, using a new set of “rules” that you will discover, hone and nurture in yourself and others as a part of this small cohort of like-minded women. 

Working with Amy privately requires an investment of upwards of $15k, and in past iterations of this program, participants have invested upwards of $7k. But given the times we are in, Amy decided to lower the investment and offer a longer payment plan to give access to this groundbreaking incubator to more powerful women.

Program Investment:
Only 6 monthly payments of $997 or 12 monthly payments of $499. You can also save with a one-time payment of $4997

Acceptance into Uprising is by application only. We curate our small group cohorts to ensure that you are fit and will be served by the program. Applying does NOT obligate you to enroll, it's simply the next step. Your application will be personally reviewed and, if we feel you are a match, you will receive a letter of acceptance.

We've had women in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s participate and love the program.

As long as you identify as a woman and are ready to uplevel, Uprising is for you!

Will my company pay the investment for Uprising? Is it a tax write off?

Maybe! We've had companies sponsor women in the Uprising Incubator and pay their entire tuition. We've also had women submit the investment for Uprising as part of their company's education funds and get partial reimbursement. But really, does it matter? Aren't you ready to take your power back now even if you need to make the investment from your own bank account?

If you are an entrepreneur or business owner, Uprising may be a write off for your business, like coaching programs often are. Please inquire with your tax person to confirm.  

How much time will Uprising take (I already have a full plate!)?

Overwhelm, exhaustion and having a filled to the brim plate are part of what most modern women face today. The pressures of work, family, self-care and volunteering are intense. If you're feeling any of these things, that's exactly why Amy created Uprising...to help women break free of the pressure and hecticness of daily life.

That said, Uprising will require a time commitment from you of approx. 2-3 hours/week. The good news is that the curriculum is accessible 24/7 on our online platform and many women listen to the audios while working out, commuting, or doing the laundry (ugh!). If you can't make a live call, you will have access to the recordings as well.

PLUS our motto at Uprising is progress over perfection (perfectionism is a tool of the patriarchy after all!). So you can jump in and out, come to a call even if you haven't completed the latest module and say YES to showing up as often as you can. And you have lifetime access to the curriculum so you can come back to things you skip or miss no problem.

Life happens and we understand. Show up imperfectly and watch your life transform.

What makes Uprising different from other women's leadership programs?

Uprising is a unique combination of cutting edge tools based on brain research and science, personal one-on-one coaching, and group coaching. It is an experiential program that focuses on the inner work first, and the outer work second. Uprising also occurs in small cohorts of professional women so the bonding and depth of results in significantly more than a standard online program.  Finally, it's Amy's unique style of warmth, truth-telling and a kick in the butt that makes it unique.

I feel nervous or unsure about applying...

First of all, we get it. Whenever we are looking at making an investment of time, energy and money, it is normal to feel unsure or nervous. We talk about how our inner critics, or Inner Mean Girls, love to protect the status quo and keep us in our "comfort zones" a lot in Uprising. Many women that end up in an Uprising cohort end up going through some sort of questioning (and they are so glad they ended up jumping in anyway!).

So, feel into your Inner Wisdom, that voice of truth inside you. What does she know?

How does your body feel about it?

What would make it worth it?

Try answering the questions above and if you feel a YES or even a MAYBE apply now and take the next no-obligation step.

I'm an entrepreneur, business owner, practitioner, coach, etc. Is Uprising for me?

In short, yes, Uprising has had women just like you go through the program. I want to be clear that Uprising is focused on your leadership, not skills like opt-ins, list building, Facebook ads and marketing. (If that's what you're looking for check out my other program, Radiance which will be enrolling later in 2021). This is about you doing your inner work, aligning with your values, creating your goals and intentions and gathering your circle of allies!

What happens when I apply?

When you fill out the Uprising no-obligation application you are simply signaling Amy and The Universe, if you will, that you are serious about creating a breakthrough in your life. Your application will be personally reviewed by our team and if we feel you are a match you will receive a letter of acceptance into the program with a link to officially register. If you have remaining questions before enrolling, we will connect about them and get you set up!

Working with Amy

"Working with Amy was a supportive and nurturing experience. I felt held in my business and my personal process with my business. Amy helped me double my price and I had my best year to date working with her. Doing the work around money blocks was key for me in catapulting my business. I highly recommend her if you need support in getting to the next level (which let's face it....we all do!)."

~Charmayne Kilcup Ph.D

"Coaching with Amy really helped me search within me, rather than outside of me. I learned I can actually accomplish what I set out to do.”  

 - Helen De La Cruz, Account Manager, Oakwood Housing Worldwide

"I just want to say that 2 weeks into our work together, the investment is worth it. Period.  I’m just blown away by what shifts and opens up in the world just when you say YES to yourself…The plan, the structure, the SUPPORT...I feel calmer than I’ve ever known. More purposeful. More passionate. And just SAFE…knowing what’s next. How to stand in my power.”
