Brianna shares how attending Rise motivated her to reclaim her health, ultimately leading her to lose weight, run a half-marathon while pregnant, and pursue bigger dreams. Liz tells the emotional story of founding Ruby's Rainbow after the birth of her daughter with Down syndrome, growing it from a simple idea into a nonprofit that has awarded over $4 million in scholarships. Cindy discusses leaving corporate life to build Wanderlust Campus into a nationally recognized business while simultaneously transforming her health and inspiring her children. Throughout the conversation, themes of imposter syndrome, leadership, resilience, and the power of community emerge, as Rachel emphasizes that extraordinary change often begins with small, imperfect steps and the willingness to believe in a bigger vision for your life.

0:00.0	Hi guys, it's Rach. Welcome to another episode of the podcast and a special edition that I'm
0:08.4	bringing in here and so excited to share with you guys. Today's episode is a replay of the
0:15.7	live podcast interview I did during the last rise event in Chicago. So this time around, I had this idea.
0:24.4	I was so excited to surprise the audience with it, and I hope that you love it as much as we all
0:30.1	did. This is what I'm calling Rise All-Stars. In this interview, I sat down with three different women who are what I would
0:40.6	consider best case scenario from within our community. First is Brianna, which you may know from
0:49.6	our Instagram feed. She's Rise Instagram famous. Brianna came to a rise event in Florida a few years ago,
0:58.4	and we were able to share the story of her running her first half marathon, what that journey looked

1:39.3	in scholarships to incredibly worthy students. And we are so proud to partner with them. And I love her
1:47.5	story because she was inspired by something that was happening in her own family and used that
1:54.0	inspiration to do work that is changing the world for a lot of people, not just her local community.
2:02.0	Lastly, Cindy, also Instagram famous on the Rise Instagram, who came to an event that we did
2:10.2	in Austin and used the motivation from that event to leave a massive corporate career and build an idea
2:20.0	that she had had for a very long time. And she took that little idea all the way to the Inc.
2:25.1	5,000 list, which are the 5,000 fastest growing companies in the U.S. She's built an incredible
2:31.2	company that continues to soar and also simultaneously, she lost
2:36.8	100 pounds. I mentioned that because I think so many parts of working on ourselves, it permeates
2:45.2	everything. When you work on your business, it ends up helping your family. When you work on your
