Description

If you're constantly asking yourself "what do they want me to say?" instead of "what do I want to share?" you might be building a fake community instead of a genuine one. This episode will help you understand the difference and why it matters for your business.

Today I'm diving deep into the psychology behind content creation and why so many of us end up people-pleasing our way to an audience that doesn't actually stick around. We're talking about the difference between having spectators who clap and leave versus active participants who buy into your essence and stay through your pivots, mistakes, and boundary-setting.

Here's the truth: scared people don't become well-known, and boring people don't get paid. If you're trying to make everyone love you and never want to upset anyone, you'll never stand out or get the visibility you're craving. Your brain literally filters out sameness. It only pays attention to emotion, polarity, and what's different!

I'm breaking down why we cater to fake communities (spoiler: it's often about that inner child need for validation and safety), how to spot whether your community is genuine or performative, and what to do if you realize you've been building the wrong kind of following. Plus, I'm sharing the mindset shifts you need to make if you want to attract people who will stick with you for the long haul.

In today's episode, we're talking about:

  • The difference between audience and community 
  • How to spot a fake community 
  • The psychology behind people-pleasing content 
  • What makes a genuine community stick around through pivots, mistakes, and changes in your business
  • How to start building real connection by detaching from metrics
