When you think about your community, are you thinking about the people—or the platform?

In this episode of The Connection Collective, we’re breaking down the difference between your container and your community. Your Instagram, Facebook group, email list—those are just containers. They’re where your people gather, but they’re not the heart of your community.

I’ll walk you through:
💜 What a container actually is (and what it isn’t)
💜 How to show up for your people—not just your platform
💜 Why community is the foundation of long-term business growth

We’ll also talk about the simple, meaningful ways you can build a community that thrives beyond algorithms and creates loyal, connected brand advocates.

Homework for this week: Reflect on how you’re showing up for your community—and take one intentional, authentic action to strengthen it.

We’ve all said it: “Let’s hang out soon!” But how often does it actually happen?

In this episode, Diana dives into the common friendship trap so many of us fall into — the “Let’s Hang Out” lull. It’s that space where connection feels like a priority, but action never follows. If you've ever found yourself stuck in the cycle of vague plans and no follow-through, this one’s for you.

Diana walks you through a series of practical, reflective questions to help you move from good intentions to real connection — and actually make the plans that deepen your friendships.

Tune in for an honest conversation on prioritizing your people, building meaningful friendships, and getting out of the friendship planning rut.
