Entry 030: Days Too Big to Carry Alone
A little confession about this entry: I recorded it early. Because by the time you're hearing it, our family will have just had the biggest day we've had in a long time. Yesterday, we will have moved Bella into college. And the same exact morning, my son will have started his senior year of high school. Both things. One day. Thank you, God, for that scheduling. So I'm telling you what I know Friday will look like, and whatever actually happens, I'll tell you next week. Deal? Deal. In this entry: • Recording from the before: what I already know about the biggest day • Senior year photos in the front yard, next to a car packed with his sister's entire life • Two kids, two milestones, one mom trying to be present for both (the honest version) • This is why community: days too big to carry alone, and the people who hold you through them • We build this thing for other people, and this week it's holding me. It works. • No big assignment, just this: send the "thinking of you today" text 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, family milestones, why community matters, and the honest, in-between moments, without the highlight reel. Want to take it one step further? The Diary lives inside coCreator Society too. Each day's question drops in the community, you leave your own entries, and we support one another while we build our community-based businesses, together, out loud. Come join us https://cocreatorsociety.com/ ABOUT THE DIARY OF A COMMUNITY BUILDER The Diary of a Community Builder is a free daily podcast from Rachel, a Circle Expert and founder of coCreator Society. Every weekday at 6am Eastern, a new entry drops: musings, behind-the-scenes moments, and lessons from inside real membership communities and community-led businesses, plus one question to noodle on in your own day of building. It's the messy, honest, in-between of building something that lasts. For full-length strategy episodes, listen to the Community at Heart podcast wherever you get your shows.
