In this episode, I take you on a journey through my method of crafting vibrant digital communities. From the initial spark of an idea to building a solid structure and clear goals, I delve into the crucial role of vision planning. I’ll share with you the three fundamental questions that should shape every community: What is its purpose and passion? How will it foster valuable interactions and culture? And how will it evolve? Authenticity, I believe, is the heartbeat of any community vibe. We’ll also explore the importance of evolution, adaptation, and growth in keeping a community dynamic and engaging. I’ll encourage you, fellow creators, to think long-term ā€“ where do you see your community in one, two, or even five years? Lastly, we’ll discuss why taking ownership and control, moving away from platforms like Facebook to private hosting, is essential for your community’s future.

so hot right now

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

Hi, Iā€™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 donā€™t just teach thisā€”I live it. From hosting summits and launching courses to building engaged communities and leveraging the right tech, Iā€™ve done the work and know what it takes to bring bold ideas to life. With over two decades of experience, Iā€™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 moreā€”whether thatā€™s launching a podcast, hosting a summit, or building a course that scales. Think of me as a mix of Leslie Knopeā€™s energy and a strategistā€™s precision, delivering actionable strategies with a playful, heartfelt approach.

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

Life is about big dreams, bold moves, and building communities that make an impact. Letā€™s make it happenā€”together!
