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 women course creators, summit hosts, and podcasters 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!
