Brio and Beyond was a sister publication of Brio for older teen girls and young women, aged 16 to 21. It launched in October 2001 and was discontinued in 2009, along with the original Brio magazine.

In May 2009, Shellenberger launched a new magazine titled Susie, a successor to Brio without the involvement of Focus on the Family.[3] The magazine was renamed to Sisterhood in 2011, and its final issue was published in December 2014.

After being on hiatus for over seven years, and over two years after the closure of Sisterhood, Brio began being published again in May 2017. The first new issue has Sadie Robertson from Duck Dynasty on the cover.[4][5] The relaunch initially had ten issues published annually, but as of April 2019, publication is reduced to a bimonthly schedule of six issues annually.
