Who We Feature

We Don't Want Polished.
We Want True.

Rise From The Ashes is not a highlight reel. It's a platform for the real story — the one they almost didn't survive. If you know someone who fits, nominate them.

The Leader Who Collapsed Quietly

The executive who held it all together on the outside while everything fell apart inside. The one nobody knew was drowning.

The Entrepreneur Who Lost Everything

Business failure, financial ruin, identity stripped bare — and then the rebuild. The story of what it actually takes to start again from zero.

The Woman Who Refused to Disappear

Grief, illness, abuse, trauma — she walked through it and chose herself anyway. Her story is the one that changes lives.

The Changemaker Nobody Sees Coming

The person who reinvented themselves so completely that even they didn't recognise who they were becoming. Until they did.

The Survivor Turned Sovereign

Not just surviving — thriving. The person who took the worst chapter of their life and turned it into their greatest contribution.

The Expert Who Broke the Mould

The professional who walked away from what they were "supposed" to be and built something entirely their own. The path nobody mapped for them.

Nomination Criteria

What Makes a
Great Nomination

  • A real story of collapse and comeback. Not a polished success narrative. The messy, human, real version.

  • Willingness to be vulnerable. Our audience doesn't need another highlight reel. They need to know they're not alone.

  • A message that serves others. Their story must have a lesson, a turning point, or a truth that changes how someone sees themselves.

  • They are still standing. They don't need to have it all figured out. They just need to still be here, still moving forward.

  • They are ready to speak. Not rehearsed. Not scripted. Ready to show up as themselves and tell the truth.

"Every story on this show is a lifeline for someone who thinks they're the only one who has ever felt this way. That's why we take nominations seriously. One story can save a life."

Common Questions

Everything You
Need to Know

Nominate anyone who has walked through a significant personal or professional collapse — burnout, breakdown, loss, identity crisis, or business failure — and risen stronger. We are especially interested in women executives, leaders, and changemakers. We do not want polished. We want true.
Absolutely not. In fact, some of our most powerful episodes have featured people nobody had heard of before they came on the show. What matters is the story — not the following.

No. There is no cost to guests. Rise From The Ashes is a platform for real stories — not a pay-to-play podcast. Every guest is selected on the merit of their story alone.

Their Story
