I thought more communities meant more reach. What it actually meant was the same people seeing me over and over. Plenty of members belong to a dozen communities. So if you're posting in 40, the overlap isn't small. Those members were getting notified about me several times a day, sometimes the same title sitting in two different feeds. A few of them said something. Politely, but they said it. I'd been counting communities. I should have been counting people. Three things changed after that. I cut the number right down. I post mainly in my own now, plus a couple of others where the audience is actually different. I use Panda to schedule posts across different parts of the day, so anything that does overlap lands hours apart instead of together. And I don't reuse a title across communities. Same idea is fine. Same title just looks like broadcasting. Worth remembering that reach isn't the member count. It's whoever hasn't already seen you somewhere else that morning.

I’m so excited to announce that I’ll be LIVE on the Roadshow, sponsored by Backstage Mastermind with Auli Takala! 💫 📅 Sunday, September 13 ⏰ 10:00 AM Pacific 🎟️ Free Event I’ll be talking about something I’m incredibly passionate about: 📱 REMOTE HEADSHOTS — AND THE POSSIBILITIES ARE WORLDWIDE! What if your photographer didn’t have to be in the same city… the same state… or even the same COUNTRY? 🌎📸 I developed my LIVE Remote Headshot Sessions so I could photograph people wherever they are using their smartphone, natural light, and my live direction. Today, I’ve photographed clients remotely across the USA and around the world — including the UK, Australia, Sweden and Mexico. During the Roadshow, I’ll share how Remote Headshots work, what happens during a LIVE session, and how entrepreneurs, authors, speakers, coaches, creators, and professionals can get fresh professional images without traveling to a studio. Your photographer can literally be thousands of miles away. 📱➡️📸 That’s what makes the possibilities so exciting. Come join me LIVE and discover what’s possible when photography has no borders! 🌎✨ 🎟️ Grab your FREE ticket here: Photography by Cristal — LIVE Roadshow Tickets ❤️📸

What do Dungeons & Dragons, emotional regulation, crochet, French, family photography, and parenting teen sons have in common? They are all part of Unplug & Play, and we begin in five days. This is not a summit built around one narrow definition of family connection. Over seven days, families can cook, make, build, tell stories, try unfamiliar things, and hear from experts who understand that raising children rarely follows the tidy version described in books. Some sessions invite children to jump in with you. Others give caring adults room to think, ask questions, and understand what may be happening beneath a child’s behavior. Come for something your family already loves. Then choose one experience none of you would ordinarily try. Unplug & Play is free and virtual, August 16–22. Live sessions, pre-recorded experiences, and free replays through September 1 are included when you join Connected Through Play. No separate registration. You’re already on the guest list: https://www.skool.com/connectthruplay/about
