Ep. 8: How to Create Community Outside of Social Media

Two women sitting together creating community outside of social media

One of the scariest things about leaving social media as a writer is the thought of losing connection with people. When the average person leaves social media, they can simply meet their neighbors or find moms at the park or at the kids’ baseball practice or get into a small group at church. But for the WRITER, this problem cannot be easily solved in the bleachers at baseball practice.

We understand the fear and concern of losing community as a writer. And that’s why we have been incredibly intentional about finding and building community outside of social media. Today we will tell you some ways we have not only replaced the community we lost on social media but where we found richer, more authentic connections. Listen in! 

Tune in to Hear:

  • 8 ways Sandy + Mary K. have not only replaced the community they lost on social media but found richer, more authentic connections.
  • How these strategies intertwine and build upon one another
  • A handful of platforms that serve as effective social media alternatives you can use to build your community
  • Practical steps you can take to begin building these connections in your own life
