Programme explainer
Our programme intro video is coming soon. We will share it here once the final cut and accessibility review are complete.
Be honest. No one's watching.
"You rehearse what you're going to say before you even open your mouth"
"You scroll through everyone else's posts and wonder why your life doesn't look like that"
"You said 'I'm fine' today when you weren't"
"You've changed your outfit 4 times because nothing felt right"
"You laughed at something that wasn't funny because everyone else did"
"You have a group chat you're scared to open"
"You've apologised for something that wasn't your fault"
"You know exactly who you are when you're alone - but forget the second you're around other people"
"You've stayed quiet when you wanted to speak up, because what if it came out wrong?"
If you nodded at even one of those...
This was built for you. Not the version of you that performs for everyone else. The real one.
I'm readyGood question. Here's the honest answer.
That voice in your head that says "was that weird?" after every conversation? This course helps you turn it down.
You know it's pointless. But your brain does it anyway. We'll teach you why - and how to actually stop.
Not the loud, performative kind. The quiet kind. The kind where you walk into a room and just... feel okay being you.
How to set boundaries. How to handle big emotions. How to trust yourself. Real skills for real life.
This isn't school. There's no homework. No grades. No one watching. Just you, figuring out who you actually are - with someone who gets it.
I'm in. Show me how to joinPicture this
It's 7:30pm. You're in bed with your headphones on. The lights are low. Allison's talking to you like a big sister who actually gets it.
No homework. No tests. No one judging your answers. Just 8 minutes that quietly change how you see yourself.
Tomorrow, when that voice in your head starts up again, you'll have something new to say back to it.
The Comparison Trap
Week 2 • Episode 3 of 7
A quiet moment to pause, notice what matters, and choose one small next step.
Empress Rising offers practical language and confidence-and-resilience tools she can make her own.
Unleash Your Inner Wings
Same girl. Completely different relationship with herself.
"I don't know who I am without other people's opinions"
"I trust my own voice, even when it's quiet"
"I say yes to everything because I'm scared of being left out"
"My boundaries protect my energy, and real friends respect that"
"I compare myself to everyone and always come up short"
"I know what makes me different is what makes me powerful"
"I feel everything so intensely and I don't know what to do with it"
"My big feelings are a superpower - I know how to use them now"
"I stay quiet because what if I say the wrong thing?"
"I speak up because my voice matters, even if it shakes"
This isn't magic. It's what happens when someone finally gives her the tools.

Not because something is broken. Because they want her protected, prepared, and empowered.
She feels deeply but stays quiet
She's starting to compare herself
She doubts friendships that used to feel easy
She worries about getting it "wrong"
And because they want her to...
Trust her own voice - even when others are loud
Walk into any room and feel like she belongs
Handle tough moments without falling apart
Build friendships that actually lift her up
Naming what she thinks
Pausing before reacting
Noticing supportive friendships
Stepping back from comparison
Choosing a values-led next step
There is no single right way to grow. The work is to build a stronger relationship with herself, at her own pace.

Empress Circle is the optional weekly Thursday live group session. Ignite meets 7:00 to 7:45 pm AEST and Ascend meets 8:00 to 8:45 pm AEST.
She used to tell you everything. Now you get one-word answers.
She's started saying 'I'm ugly' or 'nobody likes me' and you don't know what to say.
You can see her shrinking - but she won't let you in.
She comes home from school and goes straight to her room. Door closed.
She's glued to her phone, comparing herself to girls who don't even exist.
You've noticed she apologises for everything - even breathing.
You're not imagining it.
And you're not powerless. This is the window - and it doesn't stay open forever.
7 focused video episodes per week (about 1 hour total), practical toolkits, and optional live group sessions with other girls her age.
8–9 minute episodes she can watch anytime - before school, after dinner, on the bus. Self-paced. No pressure.
Girls-only space. Small groups. Thoughtfully moderated. Cameras optional. No pressure to speak.
Allison Stummer has worked alongside young women for more than 20 years. Her approach is psychology-informed and grounded in real conversations.
Real skills: boundaries, emotional regulation, self-trust, friendship navigation. Tools she'll use for life.
The years between 11 and 14 can bring shifting friendships, comparison and big feelings. Practical tools can help her meet those moments with more steadiness.
You'll also receive a Parent Summary Sheet each week so you know exactly what she's learning - and how to support her at home without needing to ask.
The Journey

See yourself clearly
You’ll uncover the gap between who you really are and the version you perform for everyone else. Learn why your brain distorts how you see yourself - and how to start trusting what’s actually in the mirror.

Find your signal
Social media, other people’s opinions, comparison spirals - it’s loud out there. This week you’ll learn to separate the noise from your own voice, and start trusting what YOU think instead of what everyone else says.

Find your people
There’s a difference between fitting in and actually belonging. You’ll learn why some friendships drain you, how to spot the ones that lift you up, and what real connection actually looks like.

Free yourself
Why do you change who you are depending on who’s watching? This week breaks the cycle of people-pleasing and teaches you how to stop handing your power to people who didn’t earn it.

Protect your energy
Saying no isn’t mean - it’s essential. You’ll get real scripts and strategies for setting boundaries with friends, family, and online - without guilt, without drama, and without losing yourself.

Feel it all
Anxiety, anger, sadness, overwhelm - they’re not weaknesses. This week you’ll learn why you feel everything so intensely, and how to use those big emotions as fuel instead of letting them flatten you.

Lead yourself
What kind of woman do you want to become? This week is about designing your future self - not based on what’s expected, but on what actually matters to you. Leadership starts with leading yourself.

Own it
Everything comes together. You’ll own your story, claim your voice, and step into the version of yourself that doesn’t wait for permission. This is where the real shift lands - and it stays.
What's Inside
Approximately 1 hour of video per week, split into focused 8–9 minute episodes. Watch before school, after dinner, or before bed. Pause anytime, pick up where she left off.
10 practical tools per week - journaling, challenges, real-world experiments
Films, books, and role models connected to each lesson
So you know what she's learning and how to support her
Weekly circles where girls connect and practise together
One-on-one sessions for personalised breakthroughs

Your Guide
Allison Stummer founded Empress Rising to help girls build real confidence in their voice and the resilience to meet life's messy, brilliant moments without shrinking themselves.
For more than 20 years, Allison has worked alongside young women through the moments that shape identity. Empress Rising brings that practical, psychology-informed approach to the world girls are living in now.
Meet Allison and explore her approachAllison's private mentor sessions offer a structured, age-appropriate space for a girl to reflect, practise a tool, and make a calm plan for what comes next.
A considered extra layer of support
Private, practical, and parent-aware
A dedicated conversation can help her name what matters, practise a confidence tool, and leave with one manageable next step.
Sessions create room for her own goals, questions, friendships, boundaries, school moments, and everyday wins without comparing her to anyone else.
Parents remain a valued part of the support system. Expectations, boundaries, and the right next step are made clear while her private reflections stay respected.
