    2025/07/08

    In this episode, we’re hearing from Burnt Out and Bound by Dependency. Our letter today deals with the exhausting dynamic where you're the one person everyone is dependent upon for value in the community, and how to shift away from that.

During that time she managed to leave the place where she was the main source of value and develop community leaders to also provide value.

    So, tune in for lessons on how to transition between platforms, reset expectations, gracefully deal with internal drama, and leadership development done the right way.


    In this episode:

    (03:23) The communitea: Burnt Out and Bound by Dependency’s letter

    (04:56) Pia's No BS Agency Mastery community

    (06:08) Transitioning from Facebook to Circle and resetting expectations

    (12:33) How Pia developed her star students into leaders and support coaches

    (16:37) The compensation model for Pia's community leaders

    (25:52) Find your ideal vision for your community and work backwards
