She Grew Up With Nothing — Then Built a Multi-Million Dollar Empire
Welcome to Taking Life by the Raines — I'm Brandi Raines, and this is Episode 1.
Before the multi-million dollar business, the team of 6,000 women, and the life you see today — there was a little girl from Port Huron, Michigan who knew what it felt like to not have hot water, watch the furniture get repossessed, and parent herself through high school.
In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing the real story of what made me — from an Army brat childhood and two divorces to dancing at Disney World, building a beauty empire from a $2,000 Pell Grant, and the one conversation that changed how I treated people forever.
This is the foundation. The rice in the bowl before all the toppings.
In this episode:
• Growing up moving every year & learning to go without
• The 8th grade summer that changed everything
• Going from Michigan to Disney World with $2,000
• The friend who told me the truth about myself
• Meeting Casey & the May 2017 decision that changed our lives
• Why God uses your hardest seasons to prepare you for your biggest blessings
If you've ever felt like your past should have held you back — this episode is for you.
