Welcome...

Welcome To Always Rising

A place for women who’ve carried everyone else, and are ready to return to themselves.

Hi, I'm Renae

For more than three decades, I’ve watched capable women carry the invisible load. Family, business, leadership, grief, responsibility. Often with no room left to be held themselves.

Always Rising grew from lived experience, not polished theory. It’s for the woman who has been everything to everyone, and is ready to return to herself with clarity, dignity, and truth.

Here you’ll find honest words, gentle tools, and steady support. No hype. No pressure. Just the next right step.

Nothing is wrong with you , you're not crazy!

You’ve just been holding too much for too long.

Most women who arrive here aren’t lost because they lack strength, clarity, or capability.

They’re lost because they’ve been holding everything.

Families. Businesses. Relationships. Emotional weight. Invisible responsibility.

Often without recognition. Often without rest.

You didn’t lose yourself because you were weak.
You lost yourself because you were strong for too long.

And the part of you that feels quiet, unsure, or disconnected?
She isn’t gone.

She’s waiting for space.

Always Rising exists to create that space - without pressure, performance, or pretending you need fixing.

This is not about becoming someone new.
It’s about returning to who you’ve always been.

There’s more than one way to return.

Every woman’s season is different.
So Always Rising offers more than one way to begin, and continue, your journey.

No urgency. No hierarchy. No “right” way.

Just options that meet you where you are.

She’s Rising Program

A 6-Week Journey of Returning to Yourself

She’s Rising was created for women who have spent years being everything to everyone else, and are finally ready to come home to themselves.

Not through hustle.
Not through “fixing.”
But through clarity, compassion, and grounded support.

Over six weeks, you’ll be guided through a steady, intentional process that helps you:

reconnect with your identity beneath the roles

rebuild confidence and self-trust

create boundaries that actually hold

step into your next chapter with calm direction

This is slow work.
Honest work.
Life-integrating work.

And it’s designed to fit a woman who already carries enough.

You’re allowed to choose yourself.

You don’t need more motivation.
You don’t need another system.
You don’t need to push harder.

You need space.
Support.

And a way forward that honours who you already are.

Whether you begin with a quiet download, a book in your hand, a shared conversation, or a guided journey, you’re not starting from nothing.

You’re returning.

In Their Words

Women don’t leave this work louder.
They leave clearer, steadier, and more at home in themselves.

Any woman in business will see parts of her own story in the pages of Renae’s book.

Julia Spicer OAM, Goodiwindi

Thank you for the words I have just read in your Blueprint and for making me understand my full worth at last.

I can’t wait for your book to arrive and thank you.

Jill, Cairns

As a woman behind the man in my own fledgling business, Renae’s approach to conflict, connection and leadership resonated deeply with me on a profound level.

Georgia Holland, Townsville

It’s been Renae’s strength, resilience and resourcefulness that have all combined to make her the powerhouse she is today. She’s nothing short of inspirational.

Kate Englar, The Publicity Princess

Thank you for sharing your stories, for being you and for being a woman I continue to look up to.

Rebecca Fuller, Brisbane

Renae has shown me, and everyone around her, that resilience doesn't mean being unshaken... but about the way you hold people together when life falls apart.

Nicole Boreham, Cairns

Where Always Rising Lives

Always Rising is not just a program.


It’s a philosophy, a conversation, and a way of supporting women in real life.

Renae works with individuals, groups, and organisations who are ready for a more honest, grounded approach to women’s leadership, identity, and reinvention.

Her work extends into:

Speaking engagements and facilitated conversations

Mentoring women in transition and second chapters

Collaborative events, retreats, and experiences

Partnerships with aligned practitioners, creatives, and leaders

Each collaboration is shaped with care; grounded, human, and free from performance or pressure.

This isn’t about filling stages.

It’s about creating spaces where women can exhale, reconnect, and move forward with clarity.
