Celebrating 10 Years of BRA Network: The Herstory Episode

Carrie On! 🎉 Celebrating 10 Years of BRA Network: Our Herstory Episode In this special episode, I’m celebrating something truly close to my heart: 10 incredible years of BRA Network — Business Relationship Alliance. What started as a simple dinner party with four friends frustrated by traditional networking events (bad coffee, no parking, zero vibe) turned into a thriving community of women entrepreneurs who collaborate, support one another, and keep money flowing between women-owned businesses. In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of BRA’s journey — the early days, the challenges, the unexpected growth during the pandemic, the events that shaped us, and the collaborations that changed everything. From Women on the Rise to the Wealthy Woman Summit to the documentary Show Her the Money, this community has built something powerful, meaningful, and lasting. If you’ve ever wondered how women truly rise when they rise together, this is the story. 📲 Keep Connected If you enjoyed this episode: * Follow Carrie On! on Apple Podcasts * Leave a rating or review * www.carrie-murray.com
