In this episode of Bid On You, we break down how to build community, host intentional events, and grow your brand as a female founder.

Amanda Lauren, founder of Hot Holy Healed, shares how faith and her own season of loneliness led her to start creating real-life community events, how she navigated building a brand from scratch, and how showing up consistently transformed small gatherings into a thriving, community-driven brand rooted in connection.

If you’re building something new and wondering how real community, real friendships, and real brand growth happen at the same time, this episode will resonate.

We talk about:

• Building community as a female founder
• Overcoming loneliness and creating real connections
• Hosting events that actually bring people together
• Growing a brand from scratch through consistency
• How faith influences entrepreneurship and leadership
• Turning community events into brand sponsors and partnerships

Community doesn’t happen overnight. It grows when someone chooses to show up. Follow us here and across socials for more!
