How Empress Rising Founder Alejandra Correal Helps High-Achieving Women Redefine Success From Within

Nationwide - APRIL 2025 - (USAnews.com) - Alejandra Correal, founder of Empress Rising and a certified Master Empowerment Coach, is reshaping the way professional women think about confidence, success, and self-worth. Her journey from corporate high-performer to transformation guide reflects a growing cultural shift: more women are rejecting externally defined versions of success in favor of deep internal alignment.

For years, Ale thrived in a fast-paced career in media advertising, managing high-value campaigns and climbing the corporate hierarchy. Yet behind the professional accolades, she experienced a familiar but often unspoken truth—her internal reality didn’t match the success others saw. “I looked confident on the outside, but inside, I was stuck,” she recalled. “I kept trying to prove myself, but the doubt never really left.”

This disconnect eventually led her to Thinking into Results, a mindset and performance program by Bob Proctor. What began as a curiosity quickly evolved into a life-altering turning point. Through the process, Ale came to see that she wasn’t lacking ability—she was operating under internalized beliefs that kept her in a cycle of overachievement without fulfillment. “I realized I’d been living by default—not design.”

The clarity she gained prompted her to pursue professional training through the Simply Woman Accredited Training program, eventually earning her certification as a Master Empowerment Coach. With that foundation, Empress Rising was born—not as a coaching brand focused on achievement, but as a space for women to reconnect with who they are beneath roles, expectations, and external markers of success.

What distinguishes Ale’s coaching philosophy is its focus on identity work. Unlike traditional coaching methods that emphasize to-do lists, performance metrics, or motivational frameworks, Empress Rising takes women inward. “The transformation doesn’t start with action—it starts with awareness,” Ale explained. “Most people try to fix the outside without changing what they believe on the inside.”

This approach is particularly resonant for women at a crossroads—those who have accomplished what they set out to do but feel unfulfilled, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next. Rather than encouraging clients to push harder or pivot externally, Ale helps them reframe their understanding of self. “The goal isn’t to be more productive,” she said. “It’s to be more authentic.”

According to Ale, many high-achieving women feel stuck not because they lack drive, but because they’re out of alignment with their values. She guides clients to examine the silent agreements they've made—about what success looks like, whose approval matters, and what they must sacrifice to succeed. “I don’t teach confidence as a personality trait,” she said. “I teach it as a practice—one that begins with telling the truth about what you really want.”

This model of coaching also resists the cultural expectation that confidence must be earned through external validation. Ale emphasizes that confidence is built through inner congruence and self-trust. “You don’t ‘find’ confidence—you build it,” she said. “It shows up when you stop hiding.”

Clients who work with Empress Rising receive more than coaching—they experience a complete identity recalibration. The process combines mindset tools, soulful inquiry, and strategic alignment, enabling women to take bold, clear steps without abandoning themselves in the process. The work is intensive, but the outcomes are lasting. Ale’s clients often report breakthroughs not just in their careers, but in their relationships, health, and overall sense of agency.

Ale is intentional about not positioning herself as a guru. Her work is grounded in personal experience, formal training, and a deep respect for the complexity of transformation. “I’m not here to fix anyone,” she noted. “I’m here to remind them of the woman they already are, beneath the doubt.”

At a time when the conversation around women’s leadership is expanding, Empress Rising offers a refreshing alternative: one that prioritizes inner sovereignty over performance, self-awareness over self-promotion, and conscious alignment over constant hustle.

Ale’s mission is rooted in one essential truth: true empowerment doesn’t come from adding more to one’s plate. It comes from removing what no longer belongs. “When a woman remembers who she is,” she said, “everything in her life begins to rise with her.”
