Thank you to everyone who participated in this quarter's free-for-all! It was a lot of fun and there were so many amazing conversations and connections happening. Now, don't let the bonanza hangover hit you tomorrow! Continue to post once a day to keep up the momentum, stay top of mind, and build your community one connection at a time. See you tomorrow!

https://www.skool.com/kitchen/about My group is called Cooking with Chef Mary. Together we will figure out how to make daily cooking easy and fun, whether it is solo, for a family, special diets or fitting cooking into a busy day. We use basic ingredients like onions, carrots and celery. Today I made Chicken Cacciatore. I cooked it on the bbq to reduce heating the house. The macaroni I cooked inside. I love to help people to figure it out. Yesterday I spoke with Christi. She said - you're just full of ideas! My group is Free to join.

Fall 2026 Summit: The Whisper that Wouldn't Leave DEADLINE EXTENDED TO SEPTEMBER 10TH! 🎤 Speaker Applications Are Open! @Christine Ross and I are looking for speakers for The Whisper That Wouldn’t Leave, a 3-day online summit for moms happening October 19–21, 2026. This summit explores the quiet questions that can show up in motherhood: 🩷 What do I want now? 🩷 What parts of myself have I put aside? 🩷 Who am I becoming? 🩷 How do I make room for myself too? We’re looking for speakers who can bring honest conversations, helpful tools, personal stories, creative experiences, and fresh perspectives around identity, creativity, guilt, time for yourself, personal growth, reconnection, relationships, dreams, interests, and becoming. Most sessions will be prerecorded or audio, with limited opportunities to participate in our live panel. If your work can help a mom hear that little whisper inside herself, and do something with it, we’d love to hear from you. 🩷 Submit your application using the Google Form! 👉 https://forms.gle/g6uhedjwafimFzV97

How much work does it take to keep your Skool community alive? 👀 You make the posts. You tag people. You welcome every new member. You come up with challenges. You remind everyone about the call. You ask questions. You reply to the replies. You try another “engagement post.” But, it still feels like the second you stop poking the group with a stick…everyone goes home 😬 Showing up as the community owner matters, especially at the beginning AND isn’t the goal to build a Skool community that doesn’t require YOU to constantly manufacture all of the engagement inside it?? That’s one of the things we’re digging into during the 30 Day Engagement by Design Sprint starting September 1st. 🙄 Not a swipe file of 100 engaging posts. 😬 Not “post every day.” 🤮 Not another gamification trick. We’re looking at what your community is actually designed to encourage. Do members know how to participate? Is it easy to take the next step? What are you rewarding? Are there reasons for members to connect with each other…or does everything lead straight back to you? Are you making participation feel easy, useful and worth coming back for? …Having members inside your Skool and having an actual participating community are two very different fucking things 😅 Engagement by Design is for existing Skool owners who already have people inside and want to spend 30 days actually implementing this shit, experimenting with their community and seeing what changes. We start September 1st, and enrollment opens August 22nd. If you’re interested in joining the first sprint, send me a DM and let me know. I’ll make sure you get the details when it opens. And for my fellow community owners… 👇🏻 If you disappeared from your Skool for a week, what do you think would happen inside the group without you?
