An invitation from Dr. Alicia Newsome

You Have a Story. It’s Time to Write It, Together.

Worthy Women Rise is for the woman ready to become a published author, surrounded by other women answering the same call, building something bigger than any of them could alone.

The Invitation

You’ve spent years being the strong one. The one who holds it together, shows up, gets it done. Somewhere in all of that, a story has been living inside you. One you’ve told out loud, maybe more than once, but never written down.

Not alone in a room with a blank page, but alongside other women who are answering the same quiet pull toward something bigger than themselves, at the same time you’re answering yours.

This isn’t about adding one more thing to your list. It’s about finally putting down, in your own words, the story only you were meant to tell, and being met, fully, by women who understand exactly what it took to tell it.

Who This Is For

The woman who has built something real, and still feels unseen.

The leader. The founder. The woman who has led a team, a household, or a purpose bigger than herself, and who has a chapter in her life she has never had the room to tell.

You don’t need writing experience. You need a story, and the willingness to be known.

What You’ll Experience

Six chapters in the journey ahead.

I.

Finally Know Your Story

Through a guided conversation, you’ll move from “I don’t know where to start” to total clarity on the story only you were meant to tell, and why it matters. No more circling the idea. You’ll know exactly what you’re writing, and why.

II.

Write in Community, Not Isolation

You’ll be held accountable, celebrated at every milestone, and supported by other women who understand exactly what it costs to finally tell the truth. This is the opposite of the abandoned Google Doc — momentum, held together by women building together, not competing.

III.

Become a Published Author

Your chapter is professionally edited and published as part of Worthy Women Rise. This is where you stop being the woman who’s always meant to write her story and become the woman who did — a published author, with a credential and a proof you’ll carry for the rest of your life.

IV.

Gather, Rest, and Celebrate, In Person

Partway through your journey, you’ll come together with the other women on this same path at the private Rise Retreat. This is where it stops being theoretical and starts being real — you’ll hear your own words land out loud for the first time, met with understanding instead of judgment, and leave with professional headshots in hand.

V.

Bonus: Business in a Box

Publishing isn’t the finish line, it’s the start of what your story can do for you. You’ll be guided on turning your published chapter into speaking engagements, expanded reach, and greater impact — including a guest spot on Dr. Alicia’s own podcast and a speaking opportunity at a live Worthy Women Rise event.

VI.

Become Part of Something Bigger Than Yourself

The women you write alongside become a lasting part of your circle — women who celebrate you instead of competing with you, who understand ambition and purpose in the same breath, building right alongside you long after your chapter is published.

I didn’t become a bestselling author by writing alone. I became one by co-authoring four books first, surrounded by other women telling their own stories. That collaboration is what gave me the confidence, and the credibility, to eventually write my own. Worthy Women Rise is that same path, built for you.

This is invitation-only. Whether this link found you directly or you’re discovering it here, entry happens through a real conversation with Dr. Alicia, not a checkout page.

If what you’ve just read stirred something in you, let’s talk. We’ll talk about your story, your season, and what it would look like to finally write it down, together.

A Few Questions

Before you book

No. You need a story and a willingness to be honest. The structure and support are built in.

The journey unfolds over several months, with dedicated writing time, a private in-person gathering, and full editing support, so nothing feels rushed. You’ll get the exact timeline on your call.

Worthy Women Rise is invitation-only, and admission happens through a conversation with Dr. Alicia.
