Welcome to FlourishGR
A vibrant community hub, designed by and for the bold, entrepreneurial women of Grand Rapids.
(We’re the village you’ve always heard about.)
Gather & Grow
Think of FlourishGR as your favorite breakfast club plus personal and professional development!
You’ve heard the saying, “Women can have it all!” We believe it. Yet, all too often, the support we crave feels elusive, leaving us to navigate the complexities of career and family in isolation. FlourishGR is here to change that narrative.
Born out of a desire to be in community with likeminded women who juggle work, motherhood, entrepreneurship, etc., our league exists to help you form lasting relationships, grow as an individual, and be equipped to lead in business.
Join us and be in proximity to visionary women of Grand Rapids across a host of industries, from PR and marketing to beauty, fashion, design and tech!

Kim Bode, Dog rescuer (hoarder), community advocate (vigilante), wine drinker (wino) and proud (obsessed) business owner – often distracted but never deterred.
