Diary of a Community Builder

A daily dose of what building a community-led business actually looks like, from the founder of coCreator Society and host of the Community at Heart podcast. Every weekday morning at 6am, a new entry lands in your feed. A few minutes of what happened in the build the day before. The moments that made her pause, the aha moments of figuring out something new, the behind-the-scenes of running communities, memberships, and everything in between. No intro music. No polish. No highlight reel. Just the Tuesdays of building something real, because everyone shares the launch and nobody shares the Tuesday. Each entry ends with one journal prompt to carry into your own day of building. Listen for a few minutes, think for a few minutes, and start your morning a little more awake to what's happening in your own business. New entries drop Monday through Friday at 6am Eastern. Free to subscribe. The conversation happens inside coCreator Society.

  Entry 042: The Overwhelm of a Fresh Start

  Sep 15, 20264 minS1

  Yesterday I told you about the website glow up. Today, the other big thing happening behind the scenes: we moved to Notion. And I need to be honest, because it's a journey. I've dabbled before, I've wanted so badly to be a Notion girly, and the very first thing that happened when we switched? I felt overwhelmed. Because of course I did. But we didn't do it halfway, we migrated all ninety-four podcast episodes (we're about to hit one hundred!) and two hundred YouTube videos. In this entry: Wanting to be a Notion girly, and the friends who made the leap possible (thank you, Cat and Molli) Why ClickUp stopped working, and the overwhelm that comes with any fresh start Migrating ninety-four podcast episodes, with episode one hundred landing October 20th Two hundred YouTube videos moved too The blog cleanup: a post for every episode, and finally getting the videos on the site (thank you, Maggie) Something to noodle on: what system do you limp along with because switching feels too hard? The Diary of a Community Builder is a daily, behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to build and run a membership community and a community-led business. Real entries about community building on Circle, systems and tools, cleaning house, and the honest, in-between moments of growing an online business, without the highlight reel. Want to take it one step further? The Diary lives inside coCreator Society too.

  Entry 041: Working Hard vs Working From Scratch

  Sep 14, 20263 minS1

  Happy Monday, friends, and oh, I have missed you. The Diary took a little week off, and I owe you the story, because it's a good one. I've been heads down on a website revamp, not just one site but two, Community by Design Co. and the Society, both getting the full glow up at the same time. Because apparently I don't know how to do things the small way. In this entry: Why the Diary went quiet for a week (spoiler: it's a happy reason) Revamping two websites at once after a name change The friends who make it possible: Tonic, and the best templates around Why working hard and working from scratch are not the same thing Something to noodle on: what do you keep building from scratch when a gorgeous starting point already exists? The Diary of a Community Builder is a daily, behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to build and run a membership community and a community-led business.

  Entry 040: Filling the Tank Back Up

  Sep 4, 20263 minS1

  A very relatable Friday confession: I had my annual doctor's appointment this morning. Raise your hand if something in you feels a little violated the second you step on that scale. And a little honest grumble, because I take care of myself and my body still does its own thing, which is the reality of an autoimmune situation. But then the good part, because this weekend I am over the moon: I'm going to see Ed Sheeran live in Detroit, tickets I bought a year ago, knowing this exact season was coming. In this entry: • The annual appointment, the scale, and not wanting to know the number • An honest word on doing everything right while your body does its own thing • The Ed Sheeran concert in Detroit, and the backstory that makes it sweeter • Past-Rachel buying the tickets a year ago, knowing this season would need pure joy • Something to noodle on: what actually fills your brain back up, and when's it next on the calendar?

  Entry 039: Fuzzy Is the Start

  Sep 3, 20262 minS1

  Today is a cleanup day, all the calls and to-dos that piled up while I was off being live at a summit and feeling my feelings. Every week needs one. But there's one very un-boring thing happening today: I get to launch my dear friend Kristen Proby's reader community, a Circle Plus branded app built for the people who love her books. It has been so much fun to nerd out and build. And in between the cleanup, a thought about all the new client calls lately, and the fuzzy, I-want-something-but-can't-name-it feeling so many people are carrying right now. In this entry: • Cleanup day: picking up the pieces after a big week (glamour off the charts) • Launching Kristen Proby's reader community, a Circle Plus branded app for her readers • Why building for readers is special: they already know how to love something together • The wave of new client calls, and people who want a digital business but can't name it yet • Why "I don't know what I don't know" is the beginning, not a problem • Something to noodle on: what are you circling right now that you can't quite name? The Diary of a Community Builder is a daily, behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to build and run a membership community and a community-led business.

  Entry 038: Building It Out Loud

  Sep 2, 20263 minS1

  Last Wednesday was amazing, and I've been waiting all week to tell you about it: my session at the Circle Build Summit. Live, in front of over five hundred people in the room, noodling out loud on an idea I haven't even launched yet. I get nervous about these (you've heard me white-knuckle toward a few right here), but once I'm in it, there's nothing I love more. Give me a room and a half-formed idea and let me build it out loud, and I'm the happiest woman alive. In this entry: • The live Build Summit session, over five hundred people in the room • Thinking out loud in public, and why it's the most alive this work ever feels • The real idea I workshopped: The Growth Room, my high-ticket founders mastermind for the new year • Working an offer live instead of presenting it polished and finished • Why polished is over, and the building is where all the fun lives • Something to noodle on: what would you build in front of people if you weren't waiting for perfect? The Diary of a Community Builder is a daily, behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to build and run a membership community and a community-led business. Real entries about community building on Circle, building offers in public, big rooms, and the honest, in-between moments of growing an online business, without the highlight reel.
