Episode 24: Rewiring the Alpha: From Rock Bottom to Queen Energy

In this raw and soul-stirring episode, we sit down with Karissa Adkins—WSJ Bestselling Author, international speaker, and founder of the Alpha Queen Collective—to go beyond the highlight reel and into the origin story of a woman who redefined power from the inside out.
Karissa takes us back to her rock bottom: a time marked by emotional weight, health and personal life challenges and deep disconnection. She opens up about the moment she declared “enough is enough,” the tiny first shift that sparked her transformation, and how NLP, Time Line Therapy®, and Hypnosis became the tools that rewrote her internal script.
We unpack the silent battles so many powerful women face—betrayal, emotional abandonment, and imposter syndrome—and why these patterns persist in even the strongest among us. Karissa breaks down the belief codes that must be rewritten in the feminine psyche, and offers tangible micro-shifts to begin that healing today.
She also shares the true meaning behind becoming an Alpha Queen—where softness meets sovereignty, and magnetism isn’t about doing more, but about becoming deeply rooted in self-worth.
Expect mindset breakthroughs, identity-level healing, and a fresh lens on confidence, leadership, and feminine power.
