Private Advisory

For high-achieving women navigating leadership transitions and identity evolution.

Private Advisory is strategic advisory grounded in spiritual depth—for women navigating identity evolution, reinvention, and conscious leadership transitions.

  • We begin with the inner shift.

  • We translate it into aligned leadership.

  • We implement structural change deliberately.

“You do not need to abandon your ambition.
You need to inhabit it differently.”

I’m Alicia M. Rodriguez—author, storyteller, catalyst, executive coach, and contemporary mystic. For decades I’ve walked alongside leaders, seekers, and creators as they navigate the hidden currents of change. My work is rooted in stillness, presence, and the wisdom of the living world. Together we will listen deeply, ask bold questions, and make space for what is ready to emerge.

The Work

For high-achieving women whose leadership is evolving.

You’ve built success. You’ve led well.
And now something deeper is asking to come forward.

Not instead of your leadership—through it.

This is the threshold where performance gives way to purpose.

This may be for you if you:

  • Are already operating at a high level—and feel an internal shift you can’t ignore.

  • Sense your outer life no longer matches who you are today.

  • Want to lead from purpose and integrity, not performance.

  • Are feeling overwhelmed, exhausted and unfocused by the complexity of your life.

  • Are ready for depth, discretion, and real integration (not quick fixes).

What We Cultivate Together

  • A calm, steady center so you can choose instead of react.

  • Trust in your intuition and your ability to discern truth from fear.

  • The freedom to release outdated patterns of perfectionism and self-doubt.

  • The courage and confidence to speak without hesitation or apology.

  • A keen focus on the right things, the ones that move you forward, without distractions.

  • A quieter, more powerful leadership and life, with boundaries that protect your time, energy and wellbeing.

  • Decisions made with conviction, discerning clearly what you say yes or no to.

  • Leadership from presence, not performance, that is impactful and notable.

  • Greater courage, compassion and resilience to meet challenges.

After working together, you are no longer trying to prove your power—you are inhabiting it.

Who Comes To This Work

Those who find me are often women (sometimes men) who lead, founders, creatives, and seekers—individuals committed to inner work who know that true leadership begins from within.

Changemakers who desire to be the best IN the world and FOR the world who value the balance between self-care and service to others.

Why Me

My life is shaped by words, silence, and nature. My shamanic apprenticeship, contemplative practice, entrepreneurial experience, and years of guiding others through leadership and life transitions inform everything I offer.

I am the author of The Shaman’s Wife: A Mystical Journey of Surrender and Self-Discovery , Between Root and Sky: A Collection of Poems, and Everyday Epiphanies: Uncovering Wisdom in Ordinary Moments, and Manage Your Life Before Life Manages You: More Joy and Less Stress in 365 Days.

I host retreats in the Algarve of Portugal where people come to rest, reflect, and reconnect with what is essential. Clients describe my presence as calm, clear, and deeply compassionate.

My role is not to direct your path, but to walk with you as you discover it.

How We Work

This is an ongoing advisory relationship - confidential, high-touch, and designed for meaningful transformation over time.

Advisory engagements begin with a three-month minimum commitment and continue on a monthly retainer basis.

A typical monthly rhythm includes:

  • Four 45-minute private advisory sessions by zoom

  • Between-session decision support via voice/text

  • VIP access via Whatsapp

  • Strategic leadership support for impact

  • Integration practices for ongoing sustainable change

I work with a limited number of advisory clients to ensure depth and discretion.

You can expect:

  • Spacious, discerning dialogue (strategic + deeply human)

  • Bold questions that disrupt old, ineffective beliefs and assumptions

  • Clear reflection that helps you see patterns and possibilities

  • Support for the internal shift and the external decisions that follow

  • Practical integration between sessions so insight becomes lived reality

This work emerges from lived experience as well as years of advising executives in positions of influence.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Traditional executive coaching often focuses on performance metrics, leadership skills, or career advancement.

    Private advisory goes deeper. This work supports identity evolution, leadership transition, and strategic realignment at both a personal and professional level. It integrates executive mentorship with spiritual depth and long-term structural change.

  • This private advisory is designed for high-achieving women leaders, founders, and executives navigating:

    • Leadership transitions

    • Career reinvention

    • Identity shifts

    • Spiritual awakening within professional life

    • Burnout tied to misalignment rather than capacity

    Clients are typically based in the United States and internationally and operate at a senior leadership level.

  • Yes. Advisory clients are based across the U.S., Europe, and internationally. Sessions are held virtually, with optional in-person retreat immersion in Portugal for select clients.

  • No. This is not therapy, and it is not spiritual coaching in a traditional sense.

    This is strategic executive advisory grounded in psychological depth, leadership discernment, and conscious alignment. The work integrates inner development with practical implementation. The spiritual component is the source of meaning making and purpose so in this sense spirituality is integral to leadership.

  • Engagements begin with a three-month minimum commitment and continue on a monthly retainer basis that we agree on together.

    Because identity evolution and leadership recalibration unfold over time, many clients choose to continue the advisory relationship beyond the initial commitment.

  • We orient around the awakening already underway, clarify what’s emerging, clear obstacles, and translate it into aligned choices. From there, we begin implementing deliberate structural changes in how you lead and live.

  • If you’re experiencing an internal shift that’s changing how you relate to power, purpose, and leadership—and you want to navigate it with depth and intention—this will likely resonate. Many clients intuitively feel that this is right during our first conversation.

  • Yes. My approach is holistic. We work with the full ecosystem: identity, leadership, relationships, work structures, boundaries, and direction.

  • Clients typically experience:

    • Greater clarity and decisiveness

    • Stronger personal and professional boundaries

    • More grounded executive presence

    • Alignment between inner values and outward leadership

    • Tangible restructuring of work and life to reflect personal evolution

    • Greater mental clarity and renewal of personal energy

    This work supports women leaders in inhabiting authority without performance and success without sacrificing wellbeing.

  • Advisory is premium and confidential. Investment details are shared during a private conversation to ensure alignment and fit.
