This is the second part of Sarah's Arise Here story. Be sure to listen to the first part of her story on Episode 14.

In this episode, Rachel joins Sarah to ask her some business and personal related questions about her goals, her advice, and some of her favorite things!

The Arise Here Community is OPEN! 

Sarah started wedding and event planning with her company, Grand Occasions, in 2014 and transitioned in 2020 to start Arise Here.  After attending a conference for entrepreneurs that wasn't her cup of tea, Sarah planned The Arise Conference. The Conference was for badass, faith-filled women who want to learn from expert powerhouse speakers on how to align their business with the Lord's plan, and make bank doing it. She then started the Arise Here Podcast, where she interviews badass women about their entrepreneurial journeys. In November of 2020, she hosted another Arise Conference and founded the Arise Here Community, a place for badass female entrepreneurs to grow their businesses together. 

The Arise Here Community is opening in January 2021!

Breanna and Brittany are located in Grand Rapids, Michigan and share an online (and since this interview, a brick and mortar!) boutique together, The Boxed Bowtique! As little girls it was always their dream to someday have their own shop. They are both boy moms and hope to show their boys anything is possible with faith and hard work.

In April of 2020, they also started another business called Girls.Support.Girls.Co. They started this business to create a community where women could come together with other like-minded women. They want to continue to support, encourage and motivate other women to support their dream!
