Alright, let’s talk about the Facebook group you forgot existed. 🙃 In this episode of Marketing Like a Mother, Olivia sits down with community strategist and transformation coach Julia Schneider, who’s spent the last 16 years helping entrepreneurs build thriving, alive communities that do more than just collect crickets.

Julia shares how burnout led her to discover the magic of collective energy, how to spark engagement that doesn’t feel forced, and the surprising ways your community can become your most powerful marketing tool—without turning into another thing that drains you.

If you’ve got a group, membership, or course community that feels more “ghost town” than “vibrant village,” this episode might just be your turning point.
