[17] Passion-Forward Founder: The Power of Women Building for Women with Bryn Carter-Brown

Grace Perry

In this episode of Give Yourself Grace, Grace sits down with Bryn Carter-Brown, a multi-passionate founder, creative, and community builder who is redefining what it means to build for women and non-binary entrepreneurs. Bryn shares how her journey has been fueled by purpose, passion, and a deep belief in collaboration over competition.

Their conversation dives into what it truly takes to build a vision from the ground up from raising funding and entering the world of tech as a first-time founder to navigating motherhood, burnout, and boundary-setting along the way. Bryn speaks with clarity and heart on building a company that serves others, honoring your cycles and seasons, and creating community-centered change that lasts.

Here are some key takeaways:

  • The idea you can’t stop thinking about is meant for you to take the leap. 
  • You’ll grow faster and stronger when you build with others, not alone. 
  • Create spaces that center women and non-binary voices, not just include them.
  • Protect your time and peace so you can show up fully for your mission. 
  • Being a “passion-forward founder” is a strength, not a setback.
  • Authenticity attracts the right opportunities and support.
  • Even failed ventures lead to the next aligned step.
  • Don’t wait to be ready. Start messy. You’ll figure it out as you grow.

Bryn is a next-gen consumer social founder who is passionate about helping women and non-binary find welcoming communities and grow their equity. Bryn is a product and sales centric expert who, for the past 8+ years, has worked on small to mediums scales to do this, and now wants to grow on a larger scale by building the community referral platform What She Said. When she isn’t building for the babes, you can find Bryn spending time in the mountains or at the lake with her husband, son and pup.
