Welcome to Phoenix Rising—Where You Take Back Your Life, Your Time, and Your Power
Hey, love—Von here.
If you’ve spent decades pouring your energy into everyone and everything except yourself, you might be wondering… Now what?
You’ve checked all the boxes, followed all the “shoulds,” and played by the rules—but somewhere along the way, you lost yourself. And if you’re being honest, you’re exhausted.
I see you. And I’m here to tell you: It’s your time now.
I help Black women 40+ break free from burnout, self-doubt, and societal conditioning so they can reclaim their time, joy, power, and well-being—and finally start living life mindfully and on their own terms.
Through mindful coaching, deep self-liberation work, and transformational conversations, I guide you back to you. The you that feels free. The you that trusts her intuition. The you that makes decisions from a place of power—not pressure.
Because when you step into your full self…
Decisions become easier. Boundaries become clearer. And joy stops feeling like something you have to earn—it becomes your baseline.
What Working With Me Feels Like
Imagine sitting on the couch with your most grounded, no-BS girlfriend—the one who always knows what to say, who holds space for your fears and your breakthroughs, and who won’t let you play small.
That’s me.
This isn’t about toxic positivity or fluffy self-care. This is about deep, soul-level transformation. It’s about unlearning the patterns that have kept you stuck and choosing to rise—without guilt, without fear, and without waiting for permission.
Here’s what we’ll do together:
✨ Put your dreams into motion—without burnout. No more putting yourself last. No more pushing through exhaustion.
✨ Let go of limiting beliefs that keep you playing small. We’re rewriting the stories that have held you back for years.
✨ Create a new relationship with self-doubt. Fear will always be part of the journey—but it doesn’t get the final say.
✨ Prioritize feeling good above all else. Because ease, joy, and peace are non-negotiable.
✨ Develop a rock-solid sense of self. So that no matter what life throws at you, you know exactly who you are and what you deserve.
My Story (Because I’ve Been Where You Are)
I know what it feels like to wake up one day and realize you don’t recognize yourself anymore. To feel like you’ve given away all your time, energy, and joy to careers, relationships, expectations—until there’s nothing left for you.
There was a time when I let heartbreak, burnout, and conditioning steal my peace. I lost sleep. I lost weight. I lost myself. And the climb back? It wasn’t easy. But I did it. And now, I help other women do it faster—with more ease, more clarity, and more support.
Phoenix Rising isn’t just a brand—it’s a movement. It’s about burning down everything that no longer serves you and rising, radiant and unshakable, in its place.
If you’re ready to finally put yourself first—without apology—I’d love to work with you.
Let’s Get Started.

Five Things About Me (Because You Should Know Who You’re Working With!)
1️⃣ I have a deep love for elephants—so much so that I foster one named Naleku through the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya.
2️⃣ I performed Egyptian belly dance in Egypt and Turkey (yes, really).
3️⃣ I don’t eat white condiments—mayo, sour cream, Miracle Whip. Don’t ask, it’s a long story.
4️⃣ I went to the same elementary and high school as Michelle Obama.
5️⃣ My life path number is 9, which means I’m always in a state of releasing, learning, and transforming—just like my clients.

Client Testimonials
“Von has a unique approach with such a calming demeanor. She patiently guided me into untapped potential and under-utililzed resolutions. After my session, I implemented some of my newly discovered techniques and quickly hit a pivotal milestone in my business. I am very appreciative of Von’s skills and professionalism.”
“Von is a really effective coach. She led me along to some solutions to a problem I was having and helped me understand how to improve it. I have some strategies that I can begin immediately, that will improve my social relationships and have positive results. I definitely will work with Von in the future, and refer her to my friends.”
“I recently had a coaching session with Phoenix Rising Coaching with the hope of receiving guidance to move me from an unfulfilling, dead-end career where I had already invested more than 25 years! I was in a rut and skeptical that coaching could be of much benefit. Well, I was wrong… During my session with Von Simmons Fisher, she helped me to identify the areas that no longer worked for me, and tap into those where I had the most passion.”
