Is your community stuck on shuffle? You might be delivering all the right content, but if the rhythm is off, engagement falls flat. In this episode of Community at Heart, I share a fresh take on community design inspired by… a disastrous 5:30 AM workout playlist.

🎶 Enter: The Playlist Principle — a simple framework to help you sync your community rhythms with the natural flow of your members’ lives.

You’ll learn:

  • How to use daily, weekly, and monthly rhythms to increase engagement
  • What most community builders get wrong about consistency
  • Why more programming = less participation
  • The secret to creating momentum without burnout (spoiler: fewer Zoom calls, more alignment)

Whether you’re a course creator, membership leader, or summit host—this episode will help you build better beats so your community feels more like a vibe and less like a chore.

👟 BONUS: Learn how to run your own rhythm audit to fine-tune your programming without overwhelming yourself or your members.

I'm Rach, your go-to gal for all things community building!

Hi, I’m Rachel Starr, founder of Rachel Rose Coaching and host of Your Community Strategist Podcast, where we help course creators, summit hosts, and membership curators turn big ideas into thriving realities.

In my business and with my clients, I don’t just teach this—I live it. From hosting summits and launching courses to building engaged communities and leveraging the right tech, I’ve done the work and know what it takes to bring bold ideas to life. With over two decades of experience, I’ve mastered the art of virtual events and community-building strategies that blend creativity, connection, and results.

At Rachel Rose Coaching, we focus on helping creators take what they have now and make it more—whether that’s launching a podcast, hosting a summit, or building a course that scales. Think of me as a mix of Leslie Knope’s energy and a strategist’s precision, delivering actionable strategies with a playful, heartfelt approach.

Beyond the work, I’m a ski enthusiast, proud mom to two incredible teenagers, and lover of the great outdoors. Whether I’m crafting the perfect spicy margarita or fueling my creativity with coffee, I’m always chasing the next big adventure—on the slopes or in the marketplace.

Life is about big dreams, bold moves, and building communities that make an impact. Let’s make it happen—together!
