5 KEY TAKEAWAYS

➤ Consistency builds trust and community. Showing up every Wednesday for 12 years creates the foundation for a lasting connection with the audience.➤ Self-care must come first. Rebecca learned to prioritize herself first, then her marriage, then her children - because taking care of yourself provides the strength to care for others.➤ Authenticity resonates more than perfection. Rebecca writes every blog post herself, maintaining genuine heart over AI-generated content.➤ Safe spaces foster community. Active moderation ensures members feel loved and supported without judgment, creating an environment where parents can share openly.➤ Openness to evolution drives growth. Staying open to new ideas - from blogs to live videos to podcasts - has been key to Whinypaluza's continued expansion.

QUOTES FROM REBECCA GREENE"I had no idea that this was going to be a journey of not only giving content that I'm proud of, but becoming a better me through the process."

"I want it to come from my heart. AI is not my heart. I really want it to be authentic and real. It's still a coping skill for me - writing works for me."
